Editorial Review:
The journey of this documentary from the country where it was made, France, to America is almost as circuitous as the one taken by its titular birds on their trip across Antartica. In France, various actors voiced the penguins, giving them anthropomorphic qualities; but this approach didn't test well in the U.S., and it was replaced with a voiceover from Morgan Freeman. In France, the soundtrack to La Marche de L'Empereur (the original title) was done by Émilie Simon and it's a wonder of quirky, poppy electronics--definitely not what you'd expect from an animal doc.
Simon's music was scratched for the U.S. version, which gets a rather more generic score by Alex Wurman. Typical of Wurman's low-key approach, the track "The Harshest Place on Earth" is anything but harsh. It's a lullaby predictably punctuated by piano and flute--the go-to instruments when Hollywood composers want to evoke feel-good uplift. There's a lot of drama in March of the Penguins, but little has made it onto this CD. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
March of the Penguins Reviews:
Music to March with :) 
2008-05-04 - I love this music, especially when I can visualize the movie that it accompanied. This is music to soothe one and to make one smile at the the same time. I highly reccomend this recording and the movie as well.
Moving and Uplifting
2008-01-16 - After having seen the "March of the Penguins" movie, I just had to have this CD! The music enhanced the movie production making it such a wonderful documentary. Each track displays an array of emotion: from peaceful to whimsical to even tear-jerking. Just relax, listen and envision the emperor penguins making their way through the dry arctic lands. What a find! And what an orchestra!
excellent
