 Very pleasent Nov 19, 2008
I think this was a great soundtrack, I mean most music composed by Mark Isham is. It had some very cool old songs on it too. I myself am mostly into instrumental but all in all it was a great cd.
A Fine Soundtrack of a Fine Movie Jul 14, 2007
I basically love the movie, because it's poetic along with Montana wilderness and I am a fly-fisherman. I have just bought this CD as my background music while I am tying flies. And it works very very well. Each track reminds me of each moment of the movie, especially, tracks from Track 25 "Yes, Quite a Day" to Track 31 "Hauted by Waters" just make me poignant. An exclusive interview with the composer is also very unique and worth to hear about the background of the movie. "The Moment That Could Not Last" last only 1:24, how about in our real life? Is it gonna be like Paul's? I am hautend by this soundtrack.

Review(How original huh?) Jan 25, 2007
Personally, this is one of the absolute BEST soundtracks I have ever listened to. The music is calming, soothing, and truly wonderful. The music is so well put together and nicely coordinated and I feel like I am watching the movie again...it also makes great to read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books too. Try it...you might be suprised how well it fits. :)
A Movie Score For the Ages Dec 30, 2006
Like another reviewer of this soundtrack, I own over a thousand CDs. This is one of the most outstanding musical compositions I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. In fact, in my opinion, Mark Isham's composition is a movie score for the ages! I enjoy listening to this CD as much today as I did when it was released in 1992.
This is a moving and beautiful soundtrack with eclectic styles of music included in the score. Although it is not necessary to have seen the movie to enjoy the music, I strongly recommend doing so. I further suggest that you read Norman Maclean's beautiful book that made the movie and this score possible and that you visit Montana to see for yourself one of the most beautiful parts of our country and the inspiration for all three. ENJOY! --- Mountain Man Dan.

Music that transcends simple meaning... Jul 16, 2006
Mark Isham's score for the motion picture A River Runs Through It is one of the most memorable and emotionally captivating film scores of all time. The arrangements of strings, piano, woodwinds create a meditative and reflective range of music throughout the film capturing all the emotions of this powerful drama about an American family in rural Montana. It is at once deeply haunting, moving, nostalgic and sentimental and captures the innocence and beauty of nature and childhood, as well as darker themes of rebellion and tragedy. There is a profound sense of emotion that is embedded within the music that sweeps over me every time I hear it. A combination of happiness, sadness, excitement, and reflection. There is something simply sweeping and majestic within his music. I couldn't think of anything else that would better compliment the film. Highly recommended.
