And, again, Dave Grusin. I cannot hide my fervent weakness for this prodigious composer that continues exciting us with true musical greatness. Here there is another more to add to his superb list of scores for the seventh art, a romantic melodrama from another master, Sydney Pollack. The ninth collaboration between both -to remember, for example, Tootsie (1982) or The Firm (1993)-, Random Hearts is made up of a great thematic variety, prevailing that intimate style so peculiar of his author, but alternating it with salsa and Caribbean rumbas, much of his own, like those that it also delighted us in Havana (1990). Fourteen cues full of charm, feeling, of those jazz touches, those notes at the piano and alternate with perfect strings. In summary, this is Grusin, a magnificent writer on the staff able to express any challenge. Two songs are included, also, in the CD: On The Hill (written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, and performed by Diana Krall) and Good Thing (written and performed by Patty Larkin) which, with arrangements by Grusin, it is included in the final credits of the film. Seriously advisable for any unconditional fan of the good music. I.P.Y.
