Short-schrift on gorgeous music!4
John Barry won an Oscar for this score and it still holds up as a classic. Each selection is moving and heartfelt. Barry is at his best here, by pulling emotions out and just barely keeping under the radar of over-whelming emotional sweeps. There is only one drawback to this soundtrack and that is that it is only a little over (33) thirty-three minutes long. That's a tragedy. You might consider buying the Royal Scottish National Orchestra's recording. I found it to be nearly identical and it certainly does justice to Barry's work.

Seven Minutes Makes Little Difference5
"Out Of Africa" was nominated for 11 Oscars, including Sound and Original Score. This recording by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is nearly identical to the 12 song `official' soundtrack. However, there is an additional seven minutes of music, including the complete Adagio from the Mozart clarinet concerto and some miscellaneous traditional music that was omitted from the film. The sweeping drama is still here and I see little difference between the Original and this recording other than seven minutes. It's a toss-up, but each one will not disappoint.

Experience the spirit of Africa5
Out Of Africa- Original Soundtrack features all the soundtracks of the beautiful and breathtaking scenery of Africa. When you actually listening to the soundtracks, it feels though you are in Africa and relighting the key moments of the Oscar winning movie. If you like refreshing music, then this album to purchase. It is absolutely brilliant. Experience the spirit of Africa.
