5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly beautiful., April 20, 2000
By A Customer
I do like the movie, but mostly the flashback scenes when the characters are youngsters. The soundtrack is so beautiful--it really captures all the moods portrayed--the sting of poverty, the longing of lost love, strong friendships, etc. This soundtrack is a rarity in that it's first class from the opening strains to very end. Just sit back and fall in love with Morricone's most perfect and beautiful score.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Composer Genious, November 30, 2001
By "pawpaisfatt" (Salisbury, NC United States) - See all my reviews
The flow of notes and chords in this album is awesome.There are runs and patterns that very few[if not any]musicians could possibly envision,there's no other like them anywhere.I don't think that his genious will be fully appreciated ever because no other composer that I know of understands the flow of music as he does.I'm glad that I got to experience his genious in my lifetime.
