The Kenshin Recollection (OAV) series is a very high-quality series-- so much attention was given to character design, movement, atmosphere, story-telling, and of course music. This incarnation of the series had a much higher budget than the television version, so the music is much better :) These tracks are extremely powerful, because they completely retall the tradegy of the story. I get really overcome everytime I listen to these songs because they make me think of the story so much! :) Well, that's just me; I've cried everytime I watched the video from which this music was taken from... The track "The Sound of Snowfalling" says it all... ;_;

Just to start out with that i'm a huge kenshin fan and i have every single episode along with the ovas and the movie. this is obviously the soundtrack for the 1st OVA series that is also the Trust/Betrayal movies. the music is plainly awesome, however, is it worth 40 something dollars? most of the soundtrack revolves around 2 basic themes. 1 which has a flute playing the main tune. 2nd which is the action theme where kenshin is battling. I do not think that this soundtrack is worth 40 something dollars. 4 stars for the quality of the soundtrack. if i were you, i'd download the cd off of kazaa or something and save the money.

The soundtrack to the Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) Original Video Animation, composed by Taku Iwasaki, is a masterpiece from start to finish. This soundtrack perfectly complements the animation and story in the Kenshin OVA, but the music stands quite well on its own. The soundtrack puts the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack to shame, in my opinion. It's 16 tracks long, and includes short piano pieces (The Quiet Life), and stirring songs (War of the Last Wolves). This is one album you will most certainly be glad you bought, its beauty transcends all genres and musical tastes. JUST DON'T BUY THE IMPORT! You'll be paying too much! Just do a search for Samurai X OVA (this is the americanized name for the show), the price is less than half the cost of the import.

The music is superb, it's beyond description! I felt my heart being squeezed when I heard the ending theme! I must say that the people behind the music and the OAV are a bunch of genius! I have never seen an anime such as this with such a wonderful music score! You have to see and hear it yourself! Words can't express the way I felt watching that anime!

This CD is so.....WOW! There aren't any words to express how wonderful this CD is. Though I only borowed this CD from a friend, I saying that this CD is just a must have for all those who love these four episodes. This music gives you a window to the emotions the character is feeling, and or the cituation surrounding the character. Though the music is somewhat sad, I suggest that those who are considering to get it, get it. It is way too great of a CD just to let it be.

When I found out that the soundtrack to this wonderful OAV was comming out I nearly had a stroke! I was literally on the floor crying because I was so happy! I'm NOT kidding. This is a must for anyone who loves either anime or music.

I thoroughly recommend this soundtrack (which forms the backing music for Samurai X - Trust/Betrayal). Definitely one of my favourites. Well worth the money.

This soundtrack was amazing. This is one of the two only soundtracks that I have been compelled to buy that are completely or mostly classical music (the other one being crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and that was REALLY good too ^^). The OVAs themselves were great ( 1-10, OVAs being a 12)and the soundtrack just made it better. It hightend the emotion of the series and would let you know exactly how the characters were feeling.

Even if you haven't watched the OVA or even if you arent' an anime fan, you HAVE TO GET THIS SOUNDTRACK!

I own a collection of over a dozen "epic" type of soundtracks, and have heard many dozens. This is the best, period. Though it's pricy, you won't find a better one for a decade or more. It is priceless. In my personal opinion, had it not been this soundtrack the movie would have been mediocre. The characters in the movie are relatively flat. If you don't believe me, try watch the movie in the "mute" mode. But the music does all the magic, and brings me to tears and goosebumps!

This soundtrack is amazing. I love it. It is one of the best soundtracks I've listened to in a while. It captures perfectly the emotions of the movie. When my friends heard this soundtrack they instantly wanted to buy it for themselves.
