Customer Reviews Emma Even if you didn't see the movie, you will enjoy this wonderful soothing listening music. This is beautiful instramental orchestration direct from the movie soundtrack. WOW I adore the film and could watch it over and over again and the soundtrack is every bit as perfect and charming as the film!. The music is far superior to the movie... " I consider it to be nothing more than a modern-day soap opera in fancy clothing with more intelligent dialogue. It seems worth noting that I really disliked the movie, "Emma. Other than the "badly done, Emma, badly done" scene, I have no interest in watching the film again. The soundtrack is another story. The music, when thankfully removed from the tedious movie, is absolutely delightful. I enjoy listening to it with some regularity, as it provides for most pleasant background music when I'm working or reading. I'm not familiar enough with the history of the music to know if it appropriate for the period during which the movie takes place, but it stands on its own. My only complaint about the soundtrack is its somewhat repetitive nature. It seems as if the composer ran out of original themes and chose to revisit the same ones over and over again. Thankfully, those themes are some of the most charming, so it is still pleasant to hear. Nonetheless, I would have liked less repetition. In any case, this soundtrack far exceeds the mediocrity of the movie, and I enjoy listening to it frequently . .
