5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful music that I enjoy listening to.

I first became aware of Richard Rodney Bennett's music through the film score to Enchanted April. I wore out the CD....This is a selection from other films that he has scored as well. I have enjoyed both equally.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW TO AWAKEN EACH MORNING OR MEDITATE ANY TIME
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
The last two selections on this CD are the wonderful theme music from the movies Enchanted April and Four Weddings and a Funeral. My CD disc changer--a 16 year old Sony, is also an alarm clock (and radio, and tape to tape player/recorder with detached speakers), so I set it to play just these last two selections as my alarm clock.

At 19:25 minutes in length, the Enchanted April theme, especially, is a perfect light background played at low volume for breathing meditation. I admit, sometimes I just think on the transformations of life and spirit in the characters by the end of this much-beloved movie in a cost-shared Italian villa post WWI, in a spot whose scenery makes me wish I could stay myself (and whose location appears in the movie credits).

As I have listened also for pure pleasure, I sense some of what it must be like to create music, from Beethoven to Bennett, from the inside out, to sonorous chant in cathedrals from the inside out, to feel Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, Nessun Dorma sung by Pavarotti, the duet from Delibes' Lakme, or James Galway's rendering of "Clair de Lune" that seizes the heart, to hear Enya, George Winston, and even "Moonglow" superimposed over the theme from "Picnic." Where does it come from inside of so many who create the notes which pass through the instruments and voices who add their touch as they pass on the sounds...so many who let us live for a moment in the world created inside of the music--from the outside in? Do we "become the music, while the music lasts?"

The CD was in excellent condition. This particular musical interpretation was a bit rushed in certain movements, which was a bit disappointing at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Enchanting
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013

I bought this CD because I didn't want to pay the big price for the Enchanted April soundtrack. It was truly worth it, because track #6, the main theme from Enchanted April, is truly beautiful. It takes me back to the feelings and emotions I experienced while watching this brilliant film. The soundtrack is so magical for that movie, that I believe a large part of its enchantment comes from the music itself. The other tracks on this CD are quite nice, too, so I definitely recommend it to listeners looking for beautiful music to sooth your soul and uplift your heart.

I purchased this mainly for the score from the movie Far from the Madding Crowd (1967) which is one of my favorite movies. Beautiful composition. Glad I found this cd.

I orderd this for "Lady Caroline Lamb" (Because the "idiots that be" don't recognise a superb score - & have not released the original soundtrack in this country).
The performance is exemplary - Truly excellent. I like everything on this CD - But I'd still like to have the BEAUTIFUL "Lamb" soundtrack availabe in the US. This, a worthy preformance, is a welcome addition to any film score collection - Now let's have the original soundtrack!

Beautiful music and the theme from Far From the Madding Crowd is a link to the original film, far better than the recent remake.
