This is an excellent soundtrack, one which surpasses even Titanic in greatness. Along with "The Land Before Time", and "The Rocketeer", it is part of a his trifecta of brilliance that he composed back before he was as well known and recognized. There are so many reasons why this is so good, but they have all been touched on already in reviews. But let me say this: it is a truly glorious soundtrack indeed, full of beautiful music. It is well worth whatever you pay for it, especially if you've already shelled out the dough for the good, but not as good, Titanic.
