Alan Silvestri – Forrest Gump: Original Motion Picture Score (CD)

Few film scores became as inseparable from their source material as Alan Silvestri's work here. Released alongside Robert Zemeckis's 1994 Oscar-winning film, the orchestral score underscores one of cinema's most beloved narratives with a simplicity and emotional directness that matched the story beat for beat. Silvestri, whose long collaboration with Zemeckis stretches back to Back to the Future, was at the peak of his powers.
