"The music to Central Station has echoed in my mind since I saw the film four months ago. It stands alone as art in itself."
The first song starts off.....

"...and if you've seen the movie, you instantly recognize this beautiful piano number. The CD has variations of it, too. Mostly instrumental, all beautiful. A few songs have dialogue, and the last one has actual singing, and it's worth it to listen from beginning to end."
What a Pleasant Surprise

"Brazilian film scores are not so often produced. So, it was with great pleasure that the release of the soundtrack from Walter Salles'suberb film came to us. From the right beginning of the disc, you can notice that carefulness and talent were envolved to create a truly wonderful score. Wide opened to emotions and heartbreakingness, the soundtrack features instruments both from central and northeast Brazil, especially the ones used during the trip of Dora and Josué into the country's state, Bahia. I hope the success of the score of "Central Station" leads Brazilian film composers to produce more and more soundtracks, and to explore the possibilities of our own talents."
This is the best film score of 1998!

"There is a lot of beautiful music being written for films, but this score manages to stand out among them. Recorded with a small chamber orchestra, the bold arrangements echo the romantic emotion of the film. In many ways it's a throw-back to the way films used to be scored."
MASTERPIECE
