Description:
Ron Howard's 1992 film Far and Away starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in a saga of Irish immigration to American in the 1890s. Drawing on the rich tradition of Irish music as inspiration, John Williams uses original themes, but in an Irish style, in creating a sweeping film score that beautifully captures and enhances the moods portrayed in the film.
