4.0 out of 5 stars Lyrical and Lovely..., November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Joy Luck Club: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The score to THE JOY LUCK CLUB is one of those exquisite gems that you always search for but rarely find. The sweeping music on this CD is definitely enough to bring you to the verge of tears; it speaks volumes on love, commitment, and pain. Definitely one of the best scores of the 1990s, and for relative unknown Rachel Portman, a true hallmark in what promises to be a rich career. If you're hungry for a good, dramatic score--and one with Chinese overtures--then this is the disc for you. Buy it!

The sountrack is beautiful just as is the movie. It mirrors the Chinese culture with grace and honor. Please, if you enjoyed the movie, you must invest in this product. You will not be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars As beautiful as the film, October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Joy Luck Club: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is one terrific soundtrack. It matched the movie perfectly, and stands gloriously well on its own as the best soundtrack I have, and I have many. It is easily accessable music, and every track is pleasant to the ear. It is beautiful and I must use the overused and cliched term "haunting" but it it is so very accurate in this case. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.
