I adore this soundtrack, not only for Streisand's spectacular vocal (and the gorgeous arrangement) of the title tune on the opening track - which is different from the well-known radio version, but also for Hamlisch's lovely background music and underscoring. Most of it is in the style of lovely, simply orchestrated (when orchestrated) "variations on a theme" - that theme being the melody and structure of the well-known title song. The music is gentle, but still beautiful and moving...very much in the manner of the film. In addition, the CD also contains 4 songs which were popular and of the period. ("In The Mood," Red Sails In The Sunset," "River Stay Away From My Door," and "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" all excellent, "big-band" renditions which seem not at all intrusive to the CD as a whole.)
