4.0 out of 5 stars Charming soundtrack, moody and pensive both, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

I direct local theater and have used pieces from this soundtrack as background music for my plays. I believe Marvin Hamlish composed the music, whihc is touching and somber at times. Recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars True to life, reaching emotional peaks., August 12, 2001

Listen as this soundtrack brings you up and down through a romantic journey through the heart. Sophie's Choice was an excellent excellent heart wrenching true to life movie, and this soundtrack is an emotional protrayal, the heart of the movie. Listening to it gave me goosebumps.

5.0 out of 5 stars melody still haunts me, January 7, 2007

Today I heard a melody that reminded me of the love theme from this soundtrack, but I could not remember what film it was. I hummed it all day, and attached to it was a kind of wrenching sadness I associated it with. I racked my brain all day going crazy trying to remember. Boy is this music evocative of the themes from the film. Wonderful.
