A superb journey! Sep 03, 2008
As a movie fan, I always considered THE AGE OF INOCENCE as a monument, and definitely Martin Scorsese's masterpeace. In my opinion, Elmer Bernstein's soundtrack deserve every award available: it's a wonderful journey to the carachter's souls, and you can remember every wonderful detail and drama that Newland Archer and Ellen Olenska are implied. When the opera appears in the tracks, it's impossible don't be devastated!
Outstanding Jun 07, 2007
This is an outstanding soundtrack, perhaps even better than the movie itself! I'm not familiar with the work of Elmer Bernstein and I didn't like the movie very much, but the music narrates everything that the film by itself couldn't show. Brilliant!
The masterpiece of Scorsese is the masterpiece of Elmer Bernstein Nov 10, 2006
The late Elmer Bernstein is a true virtuoso of talent and different genres. Here, the period-drama of director Martin Scorsese (Taxi driver, The Departed), Bernstein draws us the picture of love, suffering, denial, and lifelong longing. The music is simply perfect, sensitive, sensual, one of the best of this magnificent composer. A Modern classic.

A Romantic Work Of Art May 18, 2000
This soundtrack features 29 songs composed and conducted by Elmer Bernstein, with the exception of 3 songs. The CD insert features a bio on Elmer and includes a few pictures from the movie. The songs are peaceful and relaxing to listen to. One song not included on the soundtrack is Enya's Marble Halls (played during the scene when the men are holding onto their derbies during the gusty winds). I would highly recommend this soundtrack, especially for anyone who enjoyed the movie. The movie itself helped to capture the quintessence of New York's high society and one can learn quite a bit about the Victorian era, such as its formal dining, fashion, etc., by observing background details. Great movie and a great soundtrack!

A Masterpiece Feb 26, 2000
Why the paucity of reviews for this extraordinary musical achievement in comparison with other, less acomplished OST's? This music is a joy to listen to. It is Victorian or Romantic classical work on par with the best from that era. It deserves much more than 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
