There is a deep melancholy here, the tracks blend beautifully into a serties of variations and restatements of a couple of sad, lonely themes - the violin in particular is a strong, plaintive voice throughout. This is not a CD for happy listening, but it is very beautiful.Be warned, however: the final track is a blaring torch-song, totally out of keeping with what has gone before. It totally shatters the mood of the disc. I suggest you program your player to skip the last track! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderfully Relaxing Soundtrack *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2010* An accomplished composer himself, I'm not sure why Ishiguro didn't contribute to the soundtrack. (Hopefully because he was/is too busy working on his next full-length novel...) That said, Portman has delivered an enchanting body of work. It seems that the critique of Rachel Portman's NLMG soundtrack is similar to many of the criticisms that often accompany Ishiguro's writing - it's not "exciting" enough, it's not "sexy" enough, it doesn't have the musical equivalent of car chases or explosions. If this soundtrack was for a film based on a Dan Brown book, I might concede one or two of the points. As it is for a rendering of an Ishiguro novel, I would suggest Portman has captured things perfectly. I confess I am also a little perplexed by the comments "solo instruments doodling" and "tuneless." Seriously? Portman's soundtrack is intricate and, at times, complex. Other times it is sweet, melancholy and purposely spacious - much like the author's novel on which the film is based. At no point are the musicians "doodling" or is any of the music "tuneless." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't know where to begin. I saw the ... *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2015* I don't know where to begin. I saw the movie then read the book. I found both deeply emotional and complex and the soundtrack fits those characteristics perfectly. I honestly do not see how it could be improved. There are many issues regarding the story - don't want to go into them here for those who do not know the story- but the complexity of the main music theme, especially, and the use of minor key and strings tell the story of this parallel culture in a way only music can. This is on my list of favorites - book/movie/soundtrack. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/25143196-never-let-me-go-rachel-portman](https://www.desertcart.at/products/25143196-never-let-me-go-rachel-portman) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
