5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey of the Heart, November 22, 2004

You will never hear such a beautiful expression of all the emotions that have taken a lifetime to experience when you listen to The Architect Soundtrack.

The movie was so wonderful. The "forgotten" son searching for the Father who was an architectural genius but lacked all the ability to express his feelings to humans, yet expressed it all in his architecture. An amazing man. His buildings will go on forever and his son has paid him the greatest love by trying to understand his father, through all the pain he caused the people who loved him, by making this film and putting it to the most marvelous music you can imagine. Please buy this albumn and do get the DVD movie. You will not regret it. I only wish I could shake the hand of Nathaniel Kahn and tell him the true joy his film brought to me, and Joseph Vitarelli's music brought tears to my heart. An extraordinary film and soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely exquisite..., February 20, 2005

An amazing film. I have never witnessed anything so inspiring. Nathaniel Kahn could have crafted a scathing--horrible even--portrayal of his father. Instead, this movie attempts to understand...rather than be understood. Only two things I wanted to know after watching: 1) What does Nathaniel Kahn do for a living? Is he an architect like his father? 2) Does Nathaniel Kahn have a family? Wife? Kids? Not that it matters but it would have been interesting to see, given his fractious almost non-existent relationship with his father, how this affected his own life choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars so beautiful that words escape me, October 9, 2011

The soundtrack to My Architect: A Son's Journey is quite extraordinary. The music is mostly very beautiful and orchestrated with plenty of moments that either build into and create a suspenseful feeling or nearly have me grabbing a tissue ready to bawl my eyes out. I like the mixture of two drastically different sensations and that's honestly the biggest reason this soundtrack is so spectacular to me. I believe others will share the same feeling. I'm constantly wondering just which way my emotional state of mind will travel given the high level of professionalism that makes up these jaw-dropping tracks. Great soundtrack and highly recommended.
