I grew up with Greek and Italian music and that is one of the reasons I bought this CD in addition to absolutely loving the movie. The music is original and traditional. "The Mandolin" is perfection. If you want to take a romantic journey through another time and place this music will give you that chance.

Awsome music; lyrics, as well as instrumentals. Takes you away to a land of beauty. If you also grew up with Italian music in your home, you may especially enjoy this version of standard favorites such as Santa Lucia and La Donna E Mobile. I consider this movie as the Italian Americans' "Pearl Harbor". Lots of heroism in the movie and the music elaborates on that with spendor.

Although the war scenes in the film are quite successful, the film is mostly a love story and 'music' is in the very heart of it. The main theme 'Pelagia's Song' is a very sentimental melody and the album contains different versions of it. The two romantic songs 'Senza di te' and 'Ricordo Ancor' performed by Russel Watson are simply wonderful. The songs are recorded in the order of events that take place in the film, so careful and imaginative listeners can re-live the film as they listen to the CD. Some songs really make one wish to be able to play the mandolin or to be somewhere on the Mediterranean, listening to such melodies. It is the right choice for those who need some peace of mind. A wonderful album for a wonderful romance...listen to it and dream of love...

The music from this movie is excellent. I only wish they had included some of the Greek Island music the islanders were dancing to.

I bought this soundtrack without having read the book or seen the movie. It was recommended to me by a friend. I felt that it was just so-so. Some of the tracks left me cold although I thought the mandolin music was wonderful. Later I read the book as I played it. Now I love it. I can't wait to see the movie.

i've been trying so hard to track down that song, how nice of you to look it up for that one women. still good and helpful ppl in this world :)

I was amazed that this soundtrack was so wonderful. It is very peaceful, and simply relaxes my mind especially after a long day of work.

Great music by Warbeck. Still have a Shakespeare in Love tune in my head and now some new music. Searched for ages for this CD in the United States and finally broke down and bought it in the UK. Don't know about the trailer and don't care. I agree with the reviewer that thinks it should make the Oscars. This CD is a good buy and worth listening to!

i just want to say thanks to david hwu. i had been looking for that song in the previews for quite some time, and now know what it is. thanks david hwu.
