Amazingly, I have no WUTHERING HEIGHTS soundtrack, although I'm a sucker for period pieces like this and the scores that accompany them (and a big fan of JANE EYRE by the other Brontë sister). So I'm up for some recommendations!
In a review of a newly recorded opera of WUTHERING HEIGHTS (I believe by Carlisle Flloyd), a reviewer at LISTEN magazine professed that the best musical adaptation that best captured the essence of the classic Bronte tale was not Herrmann's opera (sniffing haughtily as he wrote the words, I do not doubt), but Newman's wonderful score.
I'm quite fond of the Legrand score, and Sakamoto delivers a memorable and haunting main theme.
I have the Tom Hardy DVD, and Ruth Barrett's music really didn't grab me. People here seem to love Legrand's score, and I think Legrand is marvelous, but I never warmed to his score. Me bad.
It is an amazing love story and a perfect vehicle to a lush, romantic score.
