Customer Reviews

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that STING!
Marvin Hamlish did well to compose and/or arrange this soundtrack to the BEST PICTURE winning film. The music composed by ragtime great Scott Joplin, has a liadback, bouncy ease that makes the listener want to dance. The arrangement of Joplin's The Entertainer is superb, and much of the rest of the soundtrack hits on the ragtime flair and style. An excellent buy for the ragtime enthusiast, or the die-hard movie buff. Enjoy!

Listen to it until you wear it out!
When The Sting came out I was maybe eight years old but I knew right away I'd discovered a kind of music that immediately possessed my brain. When visiting an aunt I played her copy of the soundtrack until everyone was completely sick of it, except me.
Thank goodness I got my own copy which I played, literally, until it wore out.
I can't believe it took me this long to realize I badly needed the CD in my collection. It will never leave and I will play it to anyone who will listen. Great job, Marvin!

Great soundtrack, excellent music clarity, quality.
The CD exceeded my expectations. I expected an average-quality sound from an older recording (since the movie The Sting was quite old). But the music quality is superb! The bass and treble are perfectly mixed and you can hear every sound, from the high-pitched clarinets to the tuba and bass-drum.
