4.0 out of 5 stars Slow-paced, but never boring!, July 15, 2000

This review is from: Carrington: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I find this soundtrack to be very sad, which doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. It also has lively moments, but they end abruptly. Most of the themes are very lento, therefore suitable to the movie's pace. Mr. Nyman had composed some of this music long before he was commissioned to work on the soundtrack, and he managed to give the impression that he knew every character in the movie well. He does not fail at making us aware of the musicality behind the characters emotions. All in all, this soundtrack offers some of the most interesting string arrangemets I've found in contemporary film music.

Yes, gorgeous music from the always moving Michael Nyman. I love his scores. Gattaca and End of the Affair are also stunning.

When I saw the movie, the music added something more to it...and I believe without it, the movie wouldn't be as entertaining.
