4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully composed music but very similar, Aug 24 2002
This review is from: Pride and Prejudice: the Original Soundtrack from the A&E Special Presentation (Audio CD)
When watching the movie, the music sets the mood perfectly, the piano is excellent in both the movie and the cd. What I found though, if you listen to the cd, many songs sound the same, well renditions of one of the main themes. I was disappointed with the piano summarys, because it cut out most of the songs for that portion of the movie--such as piano summary for chapter 3, where Darcy and Eliza danced, there is about a 10 second "summary" of it and only with piano, though it was so beautifully done in the movie. The music is perfect though for when you don't have the movie and crave to see it, you can recall many scenes from the cd, and it is nice to listen to when doing something else. Be careful when buying it, because it is an import and costs more, though it is a really nice cd, it can get extremely repetitive.

Disappointing, bland P&P music, May 20 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Pride and Prejudice: the Original Soundtrack from the A&E Special Presentation (Audio CD)
With all the great dance music in the BBC's fabulous production of P&P, you'd think this would be a great CD. Unfortunately, and suprisingly, none of the dance music is included! Instead, the entire CD is the background music used throughout the series which, after a very little while, all sounds pretty much the same. This is very tame, fairly bland fare -- may be OK as background music for a tea party, but otherwise not worth the effort, or price.

A bit cyclic, but still pleasant, May 15 2004
This review is from: Pride and Prejudice: the Original Soundtrack from the A&E Special Presentation (Audio CD)
The music is very inviting and smooth. But I cannot help but feel a bit sick of that same piano tune that is randomly thrown in throughout the playlist. I would have liked more variety. Still a wonderful buy for those who loved the miniseries.
