| | Movie Music UK — Nouvelle-France — Patrick Doyle |
 | | Peculiarly, Doyle is one of the few British (or American) composers who regularly work on foreign language films: by my count, this is his fifth, the last being the magnificent 1999 score East-West. |
 | | With musical nods of the head to the aforementioned trio of Indochine, Une Femme Française and Frankenstein, as well as some of his other scores for Kenneth Branagh, Nouvelle-France is a glorious reminder of the Patrick Doyle of old, who has been away from our screens and our CD players for far too long. |
 | | Performed with strength and passion by the City of Prague Philharmonic, the score is a sweeping, majestic epic, bristling with memorable themes, exciting action, swooning romance, and a hint of period grandeur. |
