Autumn In New York (2000 Film)

 (12 customer reviews)

The summers of our lives are remembered with fondness of beach parties, picnics on freshly mowed grass, and endless love. It is not by coincidence that film makers and thus soundtracks evolve to transcend our emotions towards seasonal changes. "Autumn In New York" as a movie and music mood setter brings us into our own Fall. A time of hope before winter. A time of love peaking and ending.This movie is a chick flick--and let the naysayers cluck! We are treated to 28 tracks of poignant music which hauntingly fits the movie better than a leather glove. Well arranged orchestrations and beautifully scored songs soothe our savage souls. Almost reminisicent of "Love Story", we care about these lovers. We feel their pain, their happiness and their ultimate demise.From the opening titles-Autumn in New York to instrumental pieces Searching For A Doctor to evokeful pieces, First Kiss, Can You let Me Love You?--this is a soundtrack one will remember long...Read more

The first time that I knew Mr Yared's compositions was when I saw "The English Patient" and what has been drawing me to his music ever since was the longing notes in them - lonely but at the same time, warm and loving. "Autumn in New York" is no exception - the album has lush and longing songs that make you want to close your eyes to dream about autumn leaves, crisp winds, and the story of Will and Charlotte in the movie. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm sure I will enjoy it more because the music has been a great companion! Flute, harp, piano, violins ... all the right ingredients for lonely evenings or when you are with a special one.The added bonus of this album is the voice of Miriam Stockley, from Adiemus. Haunting, but sweet. If you like this album, you would love Mr Yared's compositions in "Message in the Bottle".

The love songs in this soundtrack certainly reflect the sensual mood of the movie. As I listen to the songs, I can feel and reminisce the beautiful scenes with Richard Gere and Winona Ryder in the movie "Autumn In New York". The color of autumn in Central Park, a bridge over a lake, snow-covered New York City, passionate scenes of Richard Gere and Winona Ryder in the movie, etc.It would be lovely to enojy this CD with a glass of wine...
