This is a very unusual album. I will tell you why. The CD contains original compositions of the acclaimed Japanese composer Ryo Yoshimata and a famous theme composed by J. S. Bach called "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" from Cantata No. 147. There are 18 tracks plus one hidden track on this album. So, out of 19 tracks I loved 12. Here is why: Tracks 1 and 19 are remixed versions of the J.S. Bach's Cantata No. 147. Everything is like in its original version (strings, organ, etc.) but with～ an interesting pop touch. So, fans of classical crossover would definitely love these two tracks! Track 2 "Sleeping Forest" and Track 9 宿命 - are full orchestra themes. Very relaxing and very well performed. Track 3 "Mourning The Passing Time" and Track 18 "Road" - are my favourite. These are beautiful exciting compositions with acoustic guitar and orchestra. Mmmmm, I just love them!!! Track 7 "Nocturne Of The Woods In E Flat" and Track 14. カムフラージュ -～～ are solo piano compositions. Track 8 記憶の匂い is a wonderful composition for piano and orchestra. Track 15 "I'm So Lonesome" is a touching composition for harmonica and cello, with light orchestral background. Track 6 8秒の現在 is a very uplifting pop guitar mix. Actually, this is a very well done dance track. Track 10 "Whisper Of The Forest" is an electronic mix that combines sound of guitar, synthesiser and string orchestra. Very relaxing. Good for meditation. ～ The rest 7 tracks I will leave without comments. Probably, someone would like them, but not me...
このドラマは、映像と音の演出が傑出していたので買ってみましたが、最高でした!ここまで完成度の高いサントラは、他にはなかなかないんじゃないでしょうか。 このサントラには収録されていないU2の「With or Without You」と竹内まりやの「カムフラージュ」を加えて、物語に沿って曲順を並び替えて編集すると、ドラマのシーンが鮮明に蘇ってきますよ。眠れる森の世界にどっぷり浸かれること間違いなしです。
