SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:58 Min.
In 1985, composer/conductor Bill Conti and The London Symphony Orchestra released an instrumental album consisting of highlights from 1983’s The Right Stuff and 1985’s North and South TV mini-series. This bittersweet track recurs throughout the North and South saga, including some of its pivotal moments. For instance, it’s heard during the final stretch of Episode 6, as the epic mini-series reaches its halfway mark.
Note: As of 2008, a limited-edition CD set of Conti highlights from North and South Books 1 & 2 was released.
REVIEW:
Though hardcore North and South fans will instantly recognize this classy theme, others will only recognize it as a dramatically romantic piece. If anything, composer-conductor Bill Conti nicely conveys through “Last Embrace” the depth of North and South’s assortment of poignant character relationships. Well-played!
