The Story of Us (1999 Film) [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
If you were scoring a romantic dramedy directed by Rob Reiner and starring Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer as a couple looking over 15 years of marriage, would you not think of Eric Clapton? Of course you would. Rob Reiner did. His pithy liner notes explain just why Clapton's laid-back, fashionably impeccable take on the modern blues matched with his smoky, everyman voice makes for the perfect backdrop as wine glasses clink and romance hangs in the balance. The instrumental work is carefully fingerpicked (and often very brief--most tracks are less than a minute), but the most eventful moment remains the opening cut, "(I) Get Lost/Main Title." A live edit of "Wonderful Tonight" from 1991 is added as a bonus, although it doesn't appear in the film. Things are rounded off by several other contributors, most notably Teddy Wilson's "The Sheik of Araby" and the Andrew Sisters' "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," which add a sense of old-time romance to the modern situation. --Rob O'Connor

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Average customer rating: This is a very unusual cd, buy it and you will see why......

Customer Reviews:

This is a very unusual cd, buy it and you will see why.............2000-09-20

The main concern I have for this cd is the fact that some of the arrangements were not up to par. As you will see, all songs are not ideal for harp arrangements. I liked about half of the songs performed on this cd. I feel like the song selection could have been a little bit better. If that had happened, I think this would have been an outstanding cd.

I Would Like To Recommend This Cd

Album Description

Nathaniel Dett was born in Drummondville, Ontario in 1882 and died in October, 1943. Nathaniel Dett was dedicated to the cause of Black music, winning the Bowdoin and Frances Boott prizes in 1920 from Harvard University for his paper, "The Emancipation of Negro Music" and for his motet, "Don't Be Weary Traveller".

The Nathaniel Dett Chorale is Canada's first professional choral group dedicated to Afrocentric music of all styles including classical, spiritual, gospel, jazz, folk and blues. The Chorale is comprised of classically trained, multi-faceted vocalists whose work stretches beyond the traditional expectations of a classical chamber choir, and seeks to challenge us to broaden our vision to include all styles and genres of music as appropriate to the traditions of the African Diaspora.

Kick off your shoes and wind down..........2003-02-01

It's mostly instrumental by Eric Clapton... And the biggest plus for me is that it has "Classical Gas" on it, second to the end... Which I just LOVE!! I can watch the movie The Story of Us over and over, just to see the 'flashback' scene near the end of the movie which has "Classical Gas" playing in the background. I cry every time... In a good way...

I'm so impressed, and very glad I bought it. I think anyone who needs to relax as much as I do, could appreciate this cd.

Soft and Smooth.......2001-07-30

Time passed by and I completely forgot about a movie called the Story of Us. I just knew it didn't do too well in the box office when it was released. Two years later, I had the chance of seeing it and experiencing the music of it all. Eric Clapton succeeds in creating the right temp to the movie's theme about love lost and break up and then the realization that feeling in love is not like being in love. You can never severe the connection between being in love. And Clapton captures that in the soundtrack of this movie.

The music is soft. It's heart warming. The highlight of it could very well be Clapton's two songs. The established "Wonderful Tonight" and the original version of "I Get Lost". The latter song means a great deal to me and it is the song that at times of wrong and anger with my loved one brings us back together again. Clapton sings it with such ease that anyone emulating him is able to do so. This is a personal song and can be sung out by anyone, anywhere to his loved one and still not sound cheesy. The last piece of music in the album is so sad and yet hopeful that you just want to listen to it again and again. Clapton truly knows the magic of playing the guitar just right to justify your emotions and that of the movie.

And what about Classical Gas? The song is really well done. A great many did not like it because it's of a different style. Though it is, you should bear in mind that the song is incorporated in a soundtrack and plays on the same level of the movie itself. It delves with the theme of lost love and heartache. In the end, it is the right piece to play when you think of your life and past moments. This is the song to play after 15 years of marriage. This is the song that defines the Story of Us.
