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

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.

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.

There are times that you might want to reflect upon something lost in life. A lost love, a time that has passed, or while somewhere far from home. This is the music to do it with. Marvin Hamlish did a great job matching the music with the mood. Slow piano music, yet with a style that will keep your attention and pull at your emotions. Sad, yet full of spirt and hope. A good music CD to keep around just in case you might need it someday.

What a very sad movie this and the music score is just so beautiful. I had to get this CD. I listen to it while driving in the car to work and at home as well. Truly a great buy and a pleasure to own.
