This is pure heaven, perfection on a disk. Not one person who loved this film shouldbe without this masterpiece. A must have!!

First, I love the movie. The story behind is really exciting and full of contents. There's passion, anger, emotion....
It really made me think! Leo is at the top in this movie!
When I bought this soundtrack I did not expect such a great score. As someone else before said this is not a "relaxing" score....this is is a compilation of songs which make you move your mind and think about life.

This music takes you back to bohemian 1870s Paris Using good simple catchy harmonies, Polish composer Jan Kaczmarek evokes the right moods, whether it's lively themes to go with the scene of people dancing in a bar, whether it's the suspense of whether Verlaine will abandon his wife and her mother on the train, or whether it's Verlaine at the end of the film heartbreakingly reminiscing about Rimbaud. I especially like the dark cello tones and lively violins underlying much of the work. This is one of my favorite soundtracks which I like to return to from time to time. It reminds me of Kaczmarek's fellow countryman Wojciech Kilar's Dracula sountrack. Anyway, this CD is a rare treat. I couldn't recommend it more.

This music is anything but relaxing and anything but a background music. This is a music that makes you think, feel, and fully participate with all your senses in what you hear.. It touches very deeply but only those who are capable of perception on this wave length...

And of course, the CD takes ages to ship... If I finally get it, I'll be very happy :)

I just recently purchased this soundtrack and I must say even if I didn't see the movie, I would of loved this music. Beautiful and quite moving and really enhances the movie.

This is one of the most beautiful soundtracks. It transports you back to Paris with Verlain and Rimbaud. Jan A. P. Kaczmarek is a composer truly to be recognized for this piece and anyone who loved the film with completely fall in a trance all over again.

Uma fabulosa banda sonora para um faboloso filme que retrata a inigualável história amorosa de dois poetas inigualáveis. Um deles, Rimbaud, mais do que inigualável e fabuloso, é um mito, um génio, tomo quase que um deus. Por isso aconselho vivamente a todos, que vejam este filme, ouçam esta banda sonora... e claro... leiam, leiam Arthur Rimbaud. «Torno-me uma ópera fabulosa» Arthur Rimbaud, in Uma Estação No Inferno.

RIMBAUD - simplesmente fabuloso

I have loved Total Eclipse since first seeing it in about 1998 when I was in highschool, and it wasn't because of Leo. This movie was a part of my life when my passion for the Victorian Era began to dawn after a dream about manor life in a Victorian home and the music from this movie reaches right into your spirit and draws forth your most passionate of emotions. The composition truly evokes a mysterious sense of being in a time and place that is over a hundred years before this. I used the video to hear the music for a long time as inspirational music to write my own story by and I am excited to finally buy the cd! If you love passionate romantic era music you will love this cd. It is certainly hard to come by at a good price and if you are an artist, this is perfect background music to leave on while your mind does all the directing.

this soundtrack is without a doubt one of the best that i own. the music is beautiful and relaxing. it's wonderful to listen to no matter what type of mood you're in. each peice is pretty short and runs at about under three to four minutes. if you are looking for relly good classical music this soundtrack is a must!!!

Já conhecem o filme, já conhecem a banda sonora,... e a poesia de Rimbaud? «É preciso ser-se absolutamente moderno» Está na hora de ler a obra daquele que se tornou «uma ópera fabulosa».

Arthur Rimbaud, simplesmente fabuloso.
