Portmans delicate piano soundtrack to a terrific movie!

Rachel Portman is for me as a film music lovers still uncharted territory. The Cider House Rules "is my first work of her, but I know the music (and the film) for many years. This soundtrack is a really great job. Not only the striking main theme, the childish, family atmosphere that the surrounding music, and are convinced the melodies well off the pictures charm.

Just 40 minutes of music is on offer on this CD. But that has been the film the complete score, but does not matter, because the quality is what counts.
Topping Portmans Score from aforementioned main theme, the heart of the composition. This will not only fantastically beautiful varied but remains even after the first hearing (or seeing the movie) in the ear. It acts as a subject for Homer, but also for his relationship with Dr. Larch and the orphanage where he grew up. Nice that is childlike, playful in the play!
Then there is a motive for Homer's new job on the plantation (The Cider House ") and also for Candy found a nice theme (Homer And Candy On The Dock").

The music is dominated by a lot of piano and strings. And just the piano passages are just great to listen. Although the pieces sound not just for a huge orchestra playing there, but I think that also makes the charm of the composition of.

Conclusion: (! Please do it in this case as quickly as possible) Who knows the film will certainly remember the scenes and images, but also people who have not yet seen the movie, you can recommend the CD, even even if you not a big fan of film music. Portmans music is a quiet, contemplative, but also warm, which for sure does not act particularly innovative at the beginning, but still has a great development and effect!
