Easy on the senses

"I bought the CD and DVD together. I watched the movie first and then listened to the CD. The CD is far better than the background music in the movie. The pieces are played in their entirety, unlike the movie.
I've only had the CD for a short while and have listened to it at least five times. The music is beautiful. One of my favourites is 'Written in the Stars' which from first hearing spoke to my heart. It's followed by 'Some Enchanted Evening' which fitted superbly into the mood already set.
I'm a Rachel Portman fan and from time-to-time I hear a similarity to the music from Chocolat which I also have and love.
This is a gentle and moving selection of music and one I know I will be listening to over and over again."
Needs more than just a score

"Yes, the movie had a great score, and when you hear it on CD, it takes you back to when you watched the film. However, I found the music by Italian singer Eros Ramazotti to be unfortunately omitted from the soundtrack. I believe he had 2 or 3 songs in the film. If anyone knows the names of these songs, please let me know."
Nice music

"I got this due to the beautiful theme song to use in our daughter's wedding. The music is extremely moving and beautiful - perfect for a wedding. Overall, nice music to listen to!"
