Forrest Gump: Original Motion Picture Score

Music Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri - 1994 Academy Award Nominee for Best Original Score, and 1994 Golden Globe Nominee for Best Original Score.

This the out-of-print and hard-to-find original movie score CD to the 1994 Academy Award winning (Best Picture) FORREST GUMP. The CD features, like the movie itself, the uncomplicated yet straight-forward score composed by Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future, The Mummy Returns, The Abyss, Cast Away, Contact, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and numerous others). Many critics consider this Silvestri's finest score and deserving of the Oscar.

Note: This is the motion picture's score and not the more common and readily found "songs" compilation soundtrack from the same motion picture.

Some Reviews:

• I don't know what it is about Alan Silvestri, but his scores have the ability to stir up emotions in me that no other artist can do. Some of my favorite soundtracks of all time are works that he has done - the "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Cast Away" and the "Father of the Bride" movies. "Forrest Gump," for all intents and purposes, is some of his best work ever.
  None of the songs are very long (the entire CD is not much longer than a half-hour), but that doesn't mean they aren't beautiful. A lot of tracks on the CD are these meek little songs that act like they are afraid to bloom. Others are full of life, overflowing with vibrancy. Both represent the character of Forrest, as well as the events and people in his life, extremely well.
• The score for "Forrest Gump" is a classic, as the main theme is practically known the world over. If you are one of the few people who has never listened to this CD, I guarantee you that you will not regret picking up a copy. This is Alan Silvestri at his best, folks; he doesn't get much better that this.
• " ... the score to Forrest Gump is a memorable, melodic effort that remains one of Silvestri's most enjoyable scores."
• There is no question about it: Alan Silvestri really hit the nail right on the head when he came up with the main theme for Forrest Gump. This delicate, wonderfully bittersweet, simple piano melody depicts all the innocence and love Tom Hanks characterizes in the film. What I like about this score is that the composer had the courage to go for the uncomplicated, yet straight-forward approach ... But what Silvestri possesses more than most composers in the business is a tremendous gift for melody, and that is something that is impressively demonstrated in his Academy Award-nominated Forrest Gump score. Come again? Yes, he should have won the Oscar!
