Amazon.co.uk Review
John Barry's Academy Award-winning score for actor/director Kevin Costner's nouveau western, Dances with Wolves, is nothing short of a modern classic by a film scoring master. Utilising Wagnerian structure, Barry's three main themes recur in magisterial symphonic form. The memorable "John Dunbar" theme alone has become an almost subconscious part of modern life, utilised as Muzak and underscore for public events great and small. Barry's skills as an arranger colour his themes in subtly shifting orchestral hues, giving even the most repeated melodic passages new emotional weight. Barry's rich music is living proof that the art of orchestral film scoring not only survived into, but thrived in the 1990s. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Classical perfection
Like the film the music completely captures the time and place and the end of an era in American History.

This musical score is stunning from the exceptional John Dunbar theme to the simple but heartning music of the Two Socks at play theme.

This classical track is wonderfull perfectly capturing the best moments of the film and well worth buying. John Barry produced something of lasting quality here and for any classical soundtrack person this is a must!

This score is one of the best scores by the masterful composer John Barry, buy it NOW and you will NOT regret it.

Dances with Wolves soundtrack
I bought this because the second track is played while the birds of prey are flying over and around the crowd during the display at the Hawk Conservancy, near Andover, Hampshire - a fantastic experience, the perfect choice of music for the occasion. Also, the reviews on Amazon were very favourable, so I bought it, and have not been disappointed.
