5.0 out of 5 stars Ancient Music for a Great Movie, November 29, 2000

How can classical music perfectly fit a movie made in the 70s? Surprisingly enough, in Kramer vs. Kramer it does. Vivaldi and Purcell are put in a wonderful, perfect way to describe the most intense, delicate, dramatic and intimate moments between father, mother and son, and no one missed great theme tunes from soundtrack composers. It's simple, sweet music for a small world and a everyday story that touches everybody's heart. A must even if you haven't seen the movie - this music goes far beyond the screen experience!

This soundtack changed the way I viewed "classical" music, which I did not think I liked. I was wrong. The music changed my mind entirely! It is mellow and nice to have in the background when I am on the computer, or reading, knitting, whatever. Mose restful!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the recording used in end credits, December 23, 2011

The soundtrack recording of Rondeau Minuet from The Gordian Knot Untied (Instrumental) is not the same one played during the end credits of the movie.. very disappointed and would like to know where to find the poignant version used in the film.
