5.0 out of 5 stars Classic score that evokes baseball and more, August 10, 2000

Basil Poledouris came up with a beautiful haunting score. This score has already been used by professional sports broadcasts on tv from the end of the baseball season for the Chicago Cubs last fall to the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach last February. The CD brings back all the moments from the movie...drama and emotion. Although the cd is a little short in length, part of that is due to the fact you don't want it to end. You won't go wrong with this soundtrack!

4.0 out of 5 stars another beautiful score, May 9, 2000

This one's great. Another beautiful score from Basil, one in which he branches out a little, introducing the occasional electric guitar (only occasionally - doesn't overwhelm) and gets a little R&B track in as well. But his trademarks are still there: beautiful melodies and a strong sense of the epic - somehow he manages to mix a sense of gentleness with a sense of underlying, almost archetypal strength in so many of his scores. Thoroughly enjoyable. Although, as with most scores these days, the CD is a little short timewise.
