Customer Reviews

Beautiful.

This score adds so much to the film. Beautiful score, beautiful film.

"Moving"

Can't believe you guys dont know this one.Beautifully crafted,great movie too! Check out Tracks 2,7, 12,& 13 but its all good. Right up there with "The Natural".

Saxophonists, especially, should own this one!

If you're a fan of lush, emotional scores, replete with rich chords, and heart wrenching melodic lines with heart-stopping beauty, then this is a must-have soundtrack for you. Not to be missed is Dan Higgins' extraordinary soprano sax work on several of the tracks. Dan is one of the most sought after L.A. studio players for films, the Academy Awards, etc. If you liked his alto work on John Williams' score for Catch Me If You Can, you'll love his gorgeous soprano sound on this album. Awakenings was one of his first major film score gigs and I'm sure Randy Newman wasn't disappointed. You won't be, either. (This review is 100% gramatically correct. Go, English!)
