Sense and Sensibility: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1995 Film)

Beautiful.....but

This is the most beautiful music.....was very disappointed that Kate Winslet, who sang two songs.....were not included in the soundtrack......and My Father's Favourite, not as played in the movie......however...........I can listen over and over again...Hats off to Patrick Doyle July 26, 2008

Beautiful music

This CD arrived in a timely manner and as described. I just LOVE this music - for each song, I can see in my mind's eye the scene from the movie - it's a joy to listen to. May 19, 2008

Strings and more Strings

I usually prefer soundtracks that have the hard-driven drums and brass, but this classical-sounding score is very beautiful and very pleasant to listen to. I even enjoy the 2 vocal tracks, which is a minor miracle. The string instruments on this soundtrack are both energetic and lush in different moments. I'm glad that I bought this one. April 19, 2008

Sense and Sensibility: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

This soundtrack is definitely great music, especially for fans of the movie, Sense and Sensibility, starring Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant.

However, one big problem: this is NOT the "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack." This is all of the music from the movie, but not presented as it was in the movie. It's the same musical themes, but performed by other than the performances enjoyed in the film itself.

For instance, one of the main songs in the film, sung by Kate Winslet (or, at least, appearing to be), is instead sung by some opera singer, in opera style; not at all what I was longing for.

All in all, I was disappointed, but not critically so.

Sense and Sensibility soundtrack

I prefer the soundtrack to Pride and Prejudice, but Sense and Sensibility has some beautiful music also if you like the classical approach! December 7, 2007
