Spirited Away Music

Spirited Away is a gorgeous movie with gorgeous music. I could write to this soundtrack all day long if I owned it. I love Haku’s theme song:

And for those of you wanting something less exciting and more moving, check out Chihiro’s Waltz (also beautiful in piano version):

Wives and Daughters Music

I love Wives and Daughters, by Elizabeth Gaskell. I think the mini-series did a superb job, especially considering Gaskell died before she could finish the book.

If you try reading the book, you’ll notice some scenes are quoted verbatim in the movie. That’s about as perfect as adapted screenplays get!

Emma Music

I never thought I’d like a version of Emma more than the Gwyneth Paltrow movie.

I was totally wrong.

The new BBC mini-series version is fantastic. And if you buy the DVD, deleted scenes are built into the movie.

Below is the lovely main titles that I wish I owned so I could put it on my ipod and listen to it over and over. Enjoy.
