4.0 out of 5 stars A haunting score of life's realities by Thomson, March 11, 1999

This review is from: Louisiana Suite / Plow That Broke the Plains (Audio CD)

This absolutely brilliant score by Thomson brings to us a wonderful re-creation of life's realities in the early 1940's Louisiana during the great depression. This movie score is subtle, tender and reflects Thomson's virtuosity that makes us identify ourselves with that period. Especially the score for "Louisiana Suite" is captivating.
