I saw the film in Bangkok this xmas. I sat close. The cinema was almost empty. As the film began the car comes towards you through the snow and Portman's haunting music comes out of the trees like a cold river and seeps into your skin. Later in the film, variations of it entice but do not intrude. Weeks later I went into Amazon and heard a clip and had to have this haunting melody. The CD is only 35 minutes so put it on repeat and be carried away on this moody, sad and luxurious melody. It is the best light classical music I have heard for years. Sublime, truly.

Rachel Portman has always been one of my favorite composers. Her scores to "Sense & Sensibility" and "Chocolat" were perfect for the films. The music for "The Human Stain" is no exception- Lyrical, poetic, tragic, beautiful. Highly recommended.

This is one of Rachel Portman's very best theatrical scores. The soundtrack truly multiplies depth to an already fantastic story.
