5.0 out of 5 stars #1 on my list of Best Soundtracks!!!, July 13, 1999

By	[e-mail] (California) - See all my reviews

This is my favorite soundtrack of all time. I own it, and I've listened to it about 5000 times. (if not more) The music has an innocence to it, and it seems to tell a story by itself...I highly reccomend it!

The only thing I wish they did with this album, was include the song that they play over the end credits of the movie, and the song that plays in Mary's musical box. But these aren't complaints, they only make the movie more enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sarah Brightman or Linda Ronstadt?, February 16, 2004

By	Harvey Woodmeadow (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews

The music is great. Enough other people have already said so, and I agree.

However, several people are under the false impression that the version of "Winter Light" missing from this CD was recorded by Sarah Brightman. That's simply not the case. She recorded it for her "Classics" album, released in 2001 and she's NOT the person who sang the version you hear at the end of "The Secret Garden".

Linda Ronstadt wrote the song (with Eric Kaz and Zbigniew Preisner), her recording of it was included with the credits at the end of "The Secret Garden", and can be found on her 1993 album, "Winter Light".

Just thought y'all would like to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's not much I can add..., December 3, 2000

By	"ladyothelake" (Long Island) - See all my reviews

that the other reviewers haven't said, but I had to stick my oar in. I first saw this movie when I was 10 and have been in love with it ever since. The soundtrack was one of the things that really stuck in my mind. It was like mermaid music. Even at 10 I could appreciate the beauty and sonerous melodies. Everytime I hear it, chills tickle my spine and I get this twinge because I regret that I'm not in the garden with Mary, Colin and Dickon. The soundtrack incorporates a lot of violin solos and a lot of classical sounding music. I think there is really a bit of a Celtic flavoring in it too. Not that much, just a hint, kind of like a lemon slice in a glass of water. It really complements the movie through all its moods, you could even say it fits the book. There's not really anyway to sum it up except that this is enchanting, and soothing and it's just real GARDEN music. Buy it, you will be inspired.
