4.0 out of 5 stars I loved the film, I love this CD!, February 16, 2001

I actually purchased this CD by mistake. I had originally wanted the other Soundtrack (the one with the words!) I realized I made the error only after I took the plastic off the CD-- oops! Well, for once, one of my mistakes worked to my favor! This CD is excellent. I did see the film and I loved it. The film itself totally exceeded my expectations and I hightly recommend you renting it. This CD creates a certain aviance-- perhaps a rainy evening best describes it's alluring charm. It's wonderful background music when you have guests over and want to create a "relaxed" atmosphere-- it's very condusive to conversation. I've owned this CD for about a year now and still enjoy it.

This brilliant score has become part and parcel of my psyche and heart, and boosts this film to the highest plain. If you ever have been in love, or have lost another, this wildly romantic score will become yours as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better then most any other score!!, June 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Expectations: The Score (1998 Film) (Audio CD)

Ok ok..don't get me wrong Titanic's score was great, but Great Expectation's score is full of different moods. While titanic was full of love and the fear of the sinking, this one is quite different. Throughout the score the different themes come alive, from love, betrayal, regret, greed, and forgiveness at the end. This is one of the most beautiful scores I have listened to in a long time. "Estella's Theme" is just beautiful, and I usually don't like guitar, but it's just enchanting! AS with "Kissing in the Rain" I feel chills every time I hear it! Just shut off all the lights and lay down and listen to this score! You can just imagine yourself there and feeling what the characters felt! It's just amazing! a 5+ star!!
