I don't know how many albums I've bought claiming to be the "soundtrack" of a film, and then turning out not to be. Like most of the others, this is NOT the complete soundtrack of the film. It has all the titled tracks of the film, but is missing the short passage of Mexican music which is played when the Johnny Depp character is dancing with the huge psychiatric nurse who is supposed to be guarding him. It's only a small sequence, but the music is lovely, and is what I bought the CD for.
And, of course, it's NOT ON THE CD.
So this is NOT the complete soundtrack, whatever the makers say. Why do they insist on marketing things as Complete when they manifestly are not?

A haunting melody winds through it.
27 Nov 1999
Format:Audio CD
This soundtrack is golden because it is different from most in that the theme "Have you ever loved a woman?" weaves in and out of each arrangement in the entire soundtrack. Having said that, the music is definitely NOT redundant. Though this was a complaint from a reviewer here, I felt each track unique and able stand on its own merit. Most soundtracks require a knowledge of the movie before you can understand it, but every "Don Juan DeMarco" track in the CD has a beginning and an ending. It has the feel and magic of an opera. I have recommended the CD to many others and have given it was a gift. It was/is enjoyed by everyone in my little world.

Beautiful music
9 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
The music on this album is enchanting. Anybody who loves Spanish / flamenco music, will love this. The song by Bryan Adams has to be one of the most romantic songs ever written. And the theme of that song runs throughout the score, but certainly not in overkill. A lot of people I know bought the album on the strength of Adams' song alone, and then were disappointed that the rest of the album did not have more songs like it on there. So what people must remember is is that this is a score from the movie. If you don't particularly want a movie score but do want the song, then I recommend buying the Bryan Adams album '18 Till I Die' which has 'Have you ever really loved a Woman' on it.

A real Spanish-flavoured "Don Juan"
28 May 2002
Format:Audio CD
I liked this CD really much, and not only because Bryan Adam's song. It is very good indeed, but, as a matter of fact, the incomplete Spanish version that appears in the Soundtrack is even better. If it had been longer ..... But, nonetheless, what is really important is the incidental music, and it depicts very well the Spanish style to which Don Juan is related. Even though in theory the main character is supposed to be Mexican, and thinks to have lived in the Viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico), most of the music is pure Spanish, and even the great Paco de Lucía plays the guitar. The musical work of Mr. Kamen cannot be better. And when the time comes to use Mexican melodies, the composer knows how to make differences between the musical traditions of both Spain and Mexico, and there is no missunderstanding nor confusion. Only Alfred Newman composed comparable Spanish music for Hollywood.
