Review from "Movie Music":

"Every once in a while, you come across a theme that so completely enraptures you that you go around singing it to yourself for days on end. Poledouris is no stranger to the Western genre, having written the score for the epic mini-series Lonesome Dove, and his music for Quigley Down Under is of the same breed. It is fully orchestral, broad and lush, and captures effortlessly the endless horizons of Australia, the rugged beauty of the landscape, the heroic but whimsical nature of Quigley himself, and the blossoming love affair with Crazy Cora. Two themes make up the bulk of the score: 'Main Title' provides the first rendition of Quigley's Theme, performed initially by a solo clarinet, then with a duelling banjos-style accompaniment, and then by the full orchestra in a confident manner a little reminiscent of a German "oompah" band. Quigley's Theme forms the basis for many of the subsequent cues, and is most prominent in 'The Fight', which also contains a wonderful homage to Aaron Copland's unique brand of Americana, 'The Gift', 'Freedom', and the album's fabulous finale 'Matthew Quigley'."

"The theme for Cora is light, delicate, and just a little mysterious. It appears in its fullest form during the lovely 'Cora's Story', where it is performed by a gentle guitar and soft clarinets, and again during 'The Gift', but in a much brighter and conventionally romantic form. The score is not all fun and frolics, though. 'Marston's Murderers', 'The Fire', 'The Attack' and 'The Capture' are all dark and ominous action cues, and feature some clever orchestrations, including pounding timpanis, extremely powerful French horns, acoustic guitars and Basil's trademarked subtle electronic enhancements. 'The Attack' is especially worth noting for its fast-paced, energetic rhythm and bold brass melody."

"More than ever, scores like Quigley Down Under demonstrate just what a talented but under-used composer Basil Poledouris is. The movie failed to set the box office on fire, and the score itself is largely undiscovered by film music fans but it has quickly grown to become probably my favourite Poledouris score. Anyone with a fondness for expansive adventure scores with memorable themes should track down a copy of this album at all costs."
