I just got the soundtrack, and I can't stop crying. It makes me want to go see it again RIGHT NOW.
The piano in the Main Title and the Overture remind me strongly of the kind of effect the Oscar-winning soundtrack to Out of Africa had on me.
Here's my review of it:
Aaron's score for The Notebook is beautiful. It completely captures the quiet pain of love lost and the euphoria of finding it again, and at the same time it captures the feeling of old love - a love that's so deep that time and wrinkles and faded beauty can't do away with. I hope he doesn't mind the comparison, but the way it captures the heart like that reminds me poignantly of John Barry's theme to Out of Africa, and to John Williams' theme from Sabrina.
Moreover, Zigman shows versatility on this score. From the heartwrenching piano in the Main Title and the sweeping orchestra in the Overture and Noah and Allie's respective themes, to the postwar big band sound of the track "House Blues/The Porch Dance/The Proposal/The Carnival, he knows how to capture the feeling of the moment, transcending musical genres.
What a pleasure to listen to, with just a glass of wine, by the comforting cloak of a quiet evening or by the rustle of leaves on a summer wind.

its a very "pretty" score...not anything spectacular, but definitely appropriate for the movie and extremely beautiful when you think of what it is trying to portray.
