I loved the soundtrack of Sense and Sensibility 1995, and when I came across the CD at a jumble sale, I just had to buy it.
Now I don’t usually listen to instrumental music, but this score really touched me. Having listened to it, I understood why Ang Lee’s adaptation stands out from the rest – good music really does arouse various strong feelings in you while you are watching a film.
Patrick Doyle’s orchestrated version perfectly follows the moods of the characters throughout the film, reminding me of the various scenes, whether happy or sad…
You can get a taster of all the tracks here.
This is one of my all-time favorite soundtracks. I love it so much, I even purchased easy sheet music for it so I could be just like Marianne at the piano. :)

@Kaitlin: I would love to have the music for this, too, and pretend to be Marianne! I couldn't sing as well as Kate Winslet does in the film, though...
ReplyDeleteOh me either! Believe, I've tried. She's just all around too fantastic!
