The one and only!,
By Rik (Berlin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sheltering Sky: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
this Bertolucci movie was really beautiful and so is the soundtrack. It is simply brilliant & in my opinion Sakamoto's very best! A mixture of ancient sounds, slow strings, islamic chants and heartbreaking melodies, just BEAUTIFUL !Buy it, it's a must! Rik

Absolutely Beautiful,
By G. YEO "gyeo" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sheltering Sky: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This is a timeless, haunting soundtrack. One of Sakamoto's best, and thanks to a supporting cast of great music - this is truly a soundscape best heard in totality. Any fans of Sakamoto's work or even those who love movie soundtracks - you absolutely have to get this. Penetrating and atmospheric.

really beautiful,
By Minda Ann "MindaAnn" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sheltering Sky: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Great cd. Ryuichi Sakamoto is an amazing composer. The music towards the end of the cd that is not done by Sakamoto is of no interest to me, but the majority of it is classical and it makes the cd worth having.

Stunning Sky,
By Tom (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sheltering Sky: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
The Sheltering Sky is one of my favorite scores. The film itself is flawed but fascinating, and its score is one of its highlights. The Sheltering Sky Theme is so moving and haunting that it ranks up there with "Once Upon A Time In America" and "The Mission" as a brilliant theme music.
This soundtrack is hard to find but worth seeking if you love score music.

Paul Bowles brings us to a place of beauty and uncertainty...yet keeping us in his story of three individuals who are attempting to learn who they are. The Moroccan landscape and people come alive in the book and movie...the music is beautiful! The music is so special you feel you are in a Medina in North Africa! In 1995 I went to Morocco to better understand this plot, with the hopes of meeting Paul Bowles...it wasn't meant to be, but I fell in love with the Country, people, and their music!
5.0 out of 5 stars
For Fans of the Film, or Sakamoto, a Worthwhile Purchase,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

As with most soundtrack albums, you'll buy it because you really liked the film and want an aural souvenir of it. "The Sheltering Sky" certainly works in that regard. It even has the Lionel Hampton number used over the opening credits. Unfortunately, the tracks are not sequential, which lessens the souvenir value a bit, but it's still a good buy for lovers of the film or for fans of Ryuichi Sakamoto's music.
