SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:34 Min.
Composer-conductor Michael Kamen devised this instrumental theme for a 1997 Emma Thompson film, The Winter Guest, that Alan Rickman directed.
REVIEW:
Its gently endearing sound proves both wonderful and wistful. The track offers a classy blend of lightheartedness and poignancy. Almost as if he is tip-toeing, Michael Kamen’s playful piano-driven melody makes “The Cold Walk Home” a welcome addition to any relaxation, instrumental and/or classical playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8½ Stars
Notes: Tracks # 10 (“My Name is Elspeth”) and # 11 (“Take Me With You”) are also highly recommended. Also, though it wasn’t included on the soundtrack, Kamen’s “Stromness” may also be worth seeking out. It’s found on the 1998 Michael Kamen’s Opus retrospective album representing The Winter Guest.
