Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture

The soundtrack for Titanic, has been one of the best soundtracks yet made. Many will not agree but when you listen to it closely, the rhythm, words or no words, touch deep within the heart. These can even bring tears to your eyes. When I first saw the movie, I didn't think of it much but sad, now that it's been a few years since I saw it, I can relate to the movie, not with the experiences but with the music that was made for it. It really makes a connection. This has been so far, the best soundtrack I have ever heard, and the movie, is my all time favorite. I really hope that once, when you get a chance to listen to the item played, you can hear their meaning.

The very first soundtrack composed by James Horner that i listened to was Braveheart. It captured emotions perfectly and was also a great inpirational and background album. 1 year later i watched the movie 'Titanic' and apart from the the extremely emotionally impacting story, the music just amazed me the first time. 1 week later i bough the soundtrack and it is nothing short of amazing. The emotions that the music brings up in these pieces is immense and i would even say i prefer it over Braveheart. My four favourits are numbers 4,7,11 and 13.They capture the action and the emotion all the way through and remind you greatly of the movie and the tragedy that the disaster caused. This is a must have even if you dont like classical music. James Horners orchestral version of "My Hear Will Go On" is the best version of the song ive heard. Go and get the album today - you wont regret it!

THIS ALBUM IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! I am sure that I will never here a better movie soundtrack in my lifetime! The music, alone, is incredible. It would be beautiful music, even if it didn't have a movie to follow. Each track provides me with such a clear visual image that I would not have to see the movie, to have a good idea as to what is happening in the movie. I listen to the SouthHampton track and I visualize the hustle and bustle of a tiny harbor city. I listen to the Leaving Port track and I visualize the grandeur of a massive ship leaving port, with all eyes on it. The track where the iceberg is spotted is really a work of genius. You can hear where they are trying to reverse engines. It is also very clear in this piece of music where the crew has done all they can, and they watch skittishly as they attempt to clear the large piece of ice. Believe me, Mr. Horner placed countless hours matching the music to the scenes. I can not say enough about the...Read more
