, December 21, 1999Reviewer: sailing225 - See all sailing225's reviewsThis CD is great for taking it to the road in a convertable. Also like in the movie, taking a drive over the Golden Gate to Mendocino, this CD sets the tone. In fact, one could just stay at home with a nice dinner and a great bottle of wine. This CD sets the mood for any romantic encounter or just as great listening music while entertaining friends or working around the house on projects and just enjoying the day. Perfect wedding music.

Pro Reviews: Dying Young
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Julia Roberts followed Pretty Woman with the pretty depressing Dying Young. If your girlfriend/wife had to drag you to this film, rest assured you can opt out of buying the soundtrack. Like the film, James Newton Howard's score is life-affirming, romantic, and touching. Cameos from Kenny G, Jeffrey Osborne, and King Curtis are woven into Howard's modest tapestry, and the sum effect feels like Checkfield with a sax player and an old Nat King Cole nugget tossed in for texture. The instrumentals are built around piano, acoustic guitar, lush strings, and horns, creating a folky new age feel. At under 40 minutes, Dying Young isn't the self-standing work one might have hoped for, but the soundtrack atones for its shortcomings with a suffusion of beautiful music. Some will dismiss this as schmaltz out of hand, and a compelling argument to the contrary isn't forthcoming, but if the music does no more than indulge a romantic fantasy for half an hour then it's served a valuable purpose. Standout tracks include the opening theme, King Curtis' jazzy take on "All the Way," and the closing "I'll Never Leave You (Love Theme)." A lot of soundtracks don't make the leap from the screen cleanly, limping along in musical fragments like the obligatory chase scene and so on. Not so with this soundtrack, which combines utility and intrinsic beauty; in fact, you don't need to watch the movie to enjoy the music (good news for anyone still hoping to wiggle out of this weeper). Overall a warm, personal, and cleansing experience, like yoga for the brain. - Dave Connolly, All Music Guide |

Pros: Has potential for immortality
Cons: Almost nothing
The movie may be dripping with melodrama about a woman who fell in love with a man who gave up on life. Thought-provoking and heartwarming, Dying Young, as a film, does not fail at tugging at your heartstrings. To add to that, its accompanying soundtrack complements the film beautifully.
The producers of this film never made a wrong choice of hiring James Newton Howard to compose the score and Kenny G to grace it with his virtuosity with the saxophone. The music weaves each image in the movie with pure emotion. As proof, listen to and watch the scene where "Victor Teaches Art". Even "Driving North/Moving In" will stay with you, both visually and auditory. Even the track "I'll Never Leave You (Love Theme)" oozes with pure sentimentality, not to mention "The Clock" and "Love Montage".
In entertainment where music and movies make perfect match, it is nearly impossible how people relate to the magic of the story without the background music. In the case of "Dying Young", it is more than a perfect match, it never dies. ...
