5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting...Sad...Haunting..."A Benediction to the Soul", February 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Pyromaniac's Love Story: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Also Featuring Music From Ethan Frome And Great Moments In Aviation (Audio CD)

The CD "A Pyromaniac's Love Story" welcomes you, the listener, to some of the most alluring and timeless film music written today. For an introduction into the multiple textures and moods of composer Rachel Portman this CD has it all! Her music is like a "benediction" and pulls out the deepest qualities in her listeners yet lightens the soul. The tracks from "Great Moments in Aviation" will bring "your heart into your mouth"and "tears to your eyes". The clips from the "Ethan Frome" tracks are beautifully cold, shivering and unsullied. Give Rachel's music a listen and you will be searching eagerly for "more".

This review is from: A Pyromaniac's Love Story: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Also Featuring Music From Ethan Frome And Great Moments In Aviation (Audio CD)

I watched this movie, and listening to the first few notes I thought the composer had copied Rachel Portman's score from Only You, which I love. The more I listened, and the more similar the music sounded to the theme from Only You, I realized that it must be Rachel Portman. And it was. This isn't bad. It's unoriginal, but just like the music from Only You, it's light and whimsical and very pretty, although this type of music does seem more fitting to travels through Italy (in Only You) than the middle of New York City--I don't feel quite the same whimsy walking around Manhattan as I do in Tuscany. Oh well, it's still good.
