One of Horner's best -- this score seems often overlooked by fans of his compositions.

It's airy and subtle, perfectly echoing the gentle ghost story set by the seaside.

Highly recommended.

Anyone who loves James Horner will fall in love with this soundtrack. The quite intimacy and warm setimentality are vintage Horner. Indeed, it would be safe to say that some of the exquisite motifs in this soundtrack--particularly the melodies played by the oboe in several tracks--are a prefiguring of the delicate themes Horner developed in Titanic.

Having only recently acquired this score(from Amazon)and being a big James Horner fan I was thrilled to hear it is Horner at his best.A wonderful main theme is played in the first track followed by a series of beautiful pieces comprised mainly of piano solos performed by Horner himself.An absolute must for James Horner fans.
