The following is part of a review of the Flood CD on "Music from the Movies:

At the heart of the score lies a haunting lament, which opens the album (‘Flood’). Hayley Westenra is the featured soloist in the score and her ageless vocal stands out against the resonating, bellowing strings. The theme is a lamentation for a devastated city and its people, with an air of strength and triumph of spirit, perhaps brought about by a strong horn presence later in the cue. The theme is reprised at key moments, in varying guises, and these moments have the propensity to bring on goosebumps, so affecting is the performance by Westenra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
