Unlike the cliched soundtracks from John Wayne movies and the spaghetti westerns by Elmer Bernstein and Ennio Morricone, respectively, the soundtrack from the Movie "Unforgiven" weaves a masterful fabric of tone poetry that truly speaks to the sensitivity of the movie and to the harshness of life in the west. One hears the reluctance of Clint Eastwood's character to return to a life of violence, betraying his dead wife and his children in the process. The soaring sweeping tracks, including Claudia's Theme by Clint Eastwood himself, paint the old west in truer tones perhaps than any western soundtrack before it. Uncompromisingly western, the soundtrack, nonetheless captures what the sounds of the west should have always been. Put your boots and your wranglers on, sit back, relax and enjoy this one.

Clint won Oscars on this one. The soundtrack is amazing. I can visualize every scene as it unfolds in the movie when I listen to it. It is transferred so well. I put it on my shuffle and hear it so often that everytime I do, I feel the need to go back and watch the movie. Enjoy this CD with your collection!

It is timeless!!
