The composer managed to write original music that sounds as if if could have been written in the mid-19th century by an gifted, highly original, yet still Scottish woman, and make it sound contemporary at the same time. I don't know how he pulled it off. It worked wonderfully with the film and conveyed a sense of passion, fun, tragedy, and romance. Do yourself a favor and see the video or listen to this.

I was deeply disappointed with this version of the soundtrack. I have the original soundtrack on tape, but I wanted to put it on my ipod so I bought this digital CD. I have to give it a sharp boo. Many of the songs are played completely different. However, the worst thing in my opinion is that the songs on this CD do not have nearly as much dimension and emotion as the original CD. I would say buy the original from someone and load it to your MP3 player manually. Note: if you are looking for something more conventional the newer version might be for you. If you want the music that you listened to over 15 years ago you will probably be disappointed with the new version.

I think there are very few film scores that make a lot of sense without the movie. This music is beautiful and timeless whether you have seen the movie or not. But you should see the movie!

The music is a delight to the ears and soulfully touching. Listening to this, it's hard to not have mental images floating around. I love all the songs. There are few cds I can listen to that I love all the songs but To the Edge of the Earth, Heart Asks Pleasure First, Here to There, and Promise are some of my favorites on this cds. I highly recommend this soundtrack and watching the movie.

Nyman at his most excellent best! This piano intrumental has it's own heart warming unique musical soul. Like the birth and life of a tiny bird it is born of its own right, grows with great stength and love and takes flight into heavenly sound! They keys and violins will find your deepest sorrows and then release you with an angel's dream.

If you love piano music, you'll love the music from this movie. The movie was great as well.

If you are looking for the original movie soundtrack of piano music, this is not it. This is a recording of chamber music. I was dissapointed, played it once, and I doubt it will be played again.

One of the re-releases I've actually enjoyed and bought. Keeps the original signature with a little bit cleanup where needed. I love this soundtrack and still keep it in my car CD changer to this day.

After watching the movie, I just had to have this soundtrack and I am not disappointed that I got it. This music is what pulled you into the movie. Some of the songs have such passion while others such tenderness. Wonderful!

A relaxing music that can take your mind away from problems and anxieties of everyday life! The perfomance is also excellent! I recommend this product to others.
