Thank you for posting this long list !! I love his music, and just listened to Seven Samurai, praying for the workers at Fukushima power plant,. Did´nt notice this was a playing list. Bless Ryuichi , bless Japan and it´s people !!
It's rather nice to see a mostly piano performance w/ a little synth added for affect...you don't see many others allowing that...like it's all piano or nothing. If tasteful, why not use ANY instrument?
The most beautiful soundtrack in my life - since I first saw the movie. This music takes me where nothing and nobody else can. More than heaven and hell.
Probably the most moving pieces of music I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Although I disliked the film this soundtrack was made for, it certainly captures the spirit of the book. It dances from wild to still, beautiful to heart wrenching and above all it loves.
I saw this film again this morning and am always in awe of this music, it makes this film so beautiful. His composition is magical. I have seen this soundtrack for sale but it's so expensive at 45 pounds! Bring it back for us music lovers at an affordable price!!!!
A tremendous representation of Bronte's novel. No matter how many times I listen to it.. I just absolutely love this piece. Sakamoto captures the mood, the tone of the novel and its complex characters incredibly well.
A music that can alter the colour of one's mind and soul, it has changed mine... I can't stop listening to this piece. It gives me chills... Beutiful...Moving...There are no words equivalent of this masterpiece. How truly and deeply I'm in love with it...
I love that part of the book where Heathcliff says: "Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I'm living! You said I killed you - haunt me then!"
It goes perfectly with the desperation transmitted by Sakamoto. Genius!!!!
i love it . I dreamt about this music for days after watching 1992 version . It is expression of the way you feel after reading Bronte's book. Thank you for this amazing feeling that your music creates.
please, someone know where I can found the score of this brilliant theme song? I go a lot of time want for it and I can´t find it, please if someone know how or where i can find it, say it to me. ^^ thanks
@Avidcita I don't wish to be a jerk, but when anyone writes or composes and then performs or publishes, the origins of the performed or published work are, invariably and without any exception in all human history, "within." Where else? Just because it comes "from within"--that desn't make it good or bad, either. For all we know, this guy privately believes he is Napolean Bonapart or something, and just doesn't mention it. Even if he's a genius, he could be a crazy genius, so be careful....
@TomKaren1994 Whatever--I call it that, here, because I read elsewhere--in a comment by a fan of Sakamoto--that that is what this music is properly called, in genre.
I haven't any idea if this is properly called, "New Age Classical" or not--I just assumed the other comment was accurate.
I really should never have slammed Sakamoto's stuff--I was like Bambi trying to kick Godzilla's ass, ignorant of his stuff that I now really like, and not listening well or carefully.
@SomethingsIronic I don't feel I had quite so strong an insult coming, but i wish I hadn't posted negative, or even semi-critical stuff about Sakamoto, because he has done some truly great stuff.
If he's good enough for Bertolucci, he's awesome, and that's all there is to it.
I love this piece. It's very powerful and portrays the book incredibly well. Who is the cellist accompanying them? He deserves some recognition as well : )
My favorite!!! 3:04 - 4:12. I absolutely love it!!! One of the best OST I've heard... I can feel the torment, but I can feel also the peace when they are at last together.
I always love Sakamoto's music. The 1st time I knew his works was from the soundtrack album of The Last Emperor 14 years ago in Sydney. And I became his fan ever since. Many of his works amazed me from how he bring emotion to his music, and it has the ability to make you drawn to the music itself. My other favourites are, Rain, Merry Christmas mr. Lawrence and The Sheltering Sky...
"Women of Ireland" a.k.a. "Mna na h Eireann" is a traditional gaelic song. so this theme is based upon it.(i remember once RS mentioned about it on a radio show). CD credit says "album produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto", but a bit obscurity remains.
this music is from the movie wuthering heights. its almost impossible to find. the soundtrack to the movie is like 80 bucks and i havent been able to download it off any kind of site
Beautiful!!
