Michael Stearns | Samsara (w/ Lisa Gerrard) | Album

The soundtrack for the 2012 film Samsara, composed by Michael Stearns, Lisa Gerrard, and Marcello De Francisci, is widely praised by reviewers for its immersive, cross-cultural sonic landscape that matches the film's non-narrative, visual grandeur. Critics highlight its ability to move between "full-throated exaltation" and "soft benediction," establishing a mood of hushed wonderment. Reviewers from Static Mass Emporium describe Lisa Gerrard’s contribution as a highlight, noting her "haunting vocals" and "dramatic contralto range" that provide a rich, dark, and mournful sound, particularly on the track "Jerusalem".
