somewhere in time: original motion picture soundtrack [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews

While director Jeannot Szwarc's 1980 time-travel romance nearly drowned in a sea of its own bathos, the score of the Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymour vehicle has become something of a word-of-mouth classic. Chalk that status up to the great English composer John Barry, whose lushly romantic score has largely overshadowed the film it was written for. Note to Titanic fans: if you liked the score for that film, you may fall in love with (or to) this one as well. Ironically, much of the action of Somewhere in Time takes place in 1912, the year the Titanic sank. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Best to see movie before buying the soundtrack.......2007-03-19

Some very nice compositions but will only probably grab you if you have seen the movie. Otherwise might seem disjointed. Probably will not have wide appeal, but, as I said, if the movie touched you, you will want the soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars Movie soundtrack CD.......2007-03-10

Beautiful music just as you would expect from John Barry. Very enjoyable to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Somewhere In Time.......2007-01-09

5 out of 5 stars Musical emotion.......2001-07-24

Somewhere in Time is one of my favorite movies...and not necessarily because I think the acting is all that great, either.

The setting (Mackinac Island, Michigan) is one of the most romantic and fun places on earth. And the story (by the legendary sci-fi fantasy author Richard Matheson) is clever and creative.

I think the music makes the movie unforgettable to me.

I have never heard such a marriage of music and story. This soundtrack transcends the movie and stands on its own as being some of the most heart-wrenching, emotional sounds I've ever heard.

Since there's no way to adequately describe the personal impact music makes on onself to another person (I liken it to describing the color green to somehow who's been blind from birth), I won't go into great detail in this review.

All I can tell you is that this music tugs at my heartstrings, soothes my soul and brings out my melancholy side like nothing I've ever heard. John Barry created a masterpiece with this soundtrack and I'll be forever grateful.

For romantic evenings, this soundtrack can't be beat. For getting misty-eyed over lost loves, you won't find better accompaniment. For sheer creative brilliance, this CDs takes the blue ribbon.

I highly recommend this soundtrack, especially in the gold disc, remastered version. Of course, if you've seen the movie you probably already own this disc. But, as I wrote, this CD stands on its own as beautiful music worthy to be heard. Buy it, play it and let it wash over you in waves of emotion.

5 out of 5 stars Music to set your soul sailing ..........1998-11-26

Beautiful arrangement of music that will move you from the very cor eof your being. The clear and crisps sounds are haunting and truly unique. The variation on a theme by Paginin is inspiring.

You must own this cd in the Gold format.
