本质上,这是一张兼具浪漫柔情与些许感伤的原声带,不过以我个人而言,它的感伤音乐固然情绪合宜,但不若那些浪漫的,轻快的作品那般抢眼与迷人,尤其是Kenny G的加入为这部配乐加分不少,其中Theme From Dying Young,Driving North/Moving In,Hillary’s Theme这三段由James Newton Howard与Kenny G一同合作的作品,是这张原声带最为出色的代表作.
Theme From Dying Young是整部配乐的灵魂,是一首情感优美,旋律动听的Love Theme,在原声带中以Kenny G的萨克斯风版本最为抢眼,但几段管絃乐章如Love Montage,San Francisco,I’ll Never Leave You,也都是很优美动人的抒情音乐,基本上是值得为这首Love Theme买这张原声带的.
Driving North/Moving In则是一首轻快的作品,前半段由Kenny G以萨克斯风表现出一份轻盈愜意的清新质感,后半段James Newton Howard承接了Kenny G的轻鬆情调,以吉他与絃乐发展出不同的音乐主题,这个主题也延续到Victor Teaches Art中,独立发展成一段乐章,仍是气质舒服写意的作品.Hillary’s Theme同样由Kenny G演出,亦是轻柔浪漫的抒情作品.
整部配乐在Love Theme与Kenny G的萨克斯风演奏中,建立出相当舒适怡人的音色,以及开朗明媚的节奏,中间偶尔穿插些许感伤的絃乐,描写男主角身患绝症的悲剧命运,但并不至於过於沈重强烈,能与整体配乐协调出轻柔的抒情气息,不过由於这类感伤描写较无特出之处,而且也比较零碎,所以通常我在听这张原声带时都会略过,只保留Kenny G的演奏与几段Love Theme的变奏,再加上All The Way这首歌的演奏版与演唱版,这样的编辑与删节,对我来说是比较理想的欣赏方式,整体而言,这算是一张情调浪漫,情感温柔的原声带,而我较为欣赏其开朗柔情的一面.
