LUSH ROMANCESep 05, 2000
By R. Penola
John Barry, who composed some of the most memorable movie music ever recorded (James Bond theme; Born Free; Out Of Africa) created a soundtrack that in every way is superior than the film it underscored. Though the movie is a must for all romantics, with its heartbreaking premise of ill-fated time travel, the score works gorgeously on its own. A swirling, string-laden series of compositions built around a classic Rachmaninoff piece, this soundtrack is full of drama, emotion and beauty. It is one of those rare pieces of music that never ever grows old, and should be a part of everyone's music collection. Melancholy and evocative, this CD provides a wealth of romantic possibility, and has often underscored some of the most meaningful moments in my life.

Timeless Romance, Timeless MusicJan 21, 2006
By Brian E. Erland
"Rainbow Sphinx"
'Somewhere In Time' is the ultimate tragedy/romance film. Made in '80, it has been one of my favorite films and musical scores for the last 25 years. John Barry's soundtrack is elegant, intensely romantic and will bring the listener to tears whether they have seen the movie or not. To me that is definitely the final and most important test of the value of the music.
Definitely for the thoughtful, romantic and emotional personality. Turn out the lights, put the CD on and find a comfortable spot. The music will ellicite feelings and emotions that you never knew you had.

A memorable and moving film scoreMay 22, 2004
By Paul Sayles
The score for Somewhere in Time is truely amazing. I think it is one of the best scores ever written. It stays with you long after you have seen the film. The music is perfect throughout the movie. Each scene has exactly the right musical background. The most moving, for me, is the short piece of music that is heard in the scene where an aged McKenna is returning to her hotel room having met Collier. I find it some of the most moving music I have ever heard in a film. For me, I can listen to the score and visualize the scene in my mind, remembering dialog and even remembering clothes that were worn at the time. I think it is partly due to the score that this film has remained so popular over the years since it was released. The score made the movie memorable. It should be in everyone's film soundtrack library.

One of the best soundtracks everDec 07, 2002
By Gina
The music fits perfectly with "Somewhere in Time's" story. The music enables viewers to feel the depth of emotions that the characters are feeling. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. The music of "Somewhere in Time" truly stays with you through time. There hasn't been one romantic movie that I've seen to surpass the quality and beauty of both the movie and the soundtrack. If you like baroque music and loved soundtracks from movies such as "The Red Violin," "The Legend of 1900," and "Out of Africa" chances are you will love this soundtrack.

Breathtakingly beautifulOct 18, 1999
By Deborah Fitzgerald
Back in 1989 I fell in love with a much younger man who played the violin. I had recently seen the movie "Somewhere in Time" and just had to have the soundtrack. My beautiful lover gave it to me as a birthday present. As I was listening to it, I heard the song behind me. As I turned I saw him playing along with the music on his violin. He had learned to play it as a special surprise to me. He did it so beautifully I cried. To this day, I still think of this wonderful man and his very special gift of Love everytime I listen to the haunting sounds from my cassette. It is almost worn out so I had to purchase a CD from Amazon.com. I can hardly wait for it to arrive. It is by far my most favorite musical score ever.
