    Is it too late? Perhaps no one will see these post. I lived in Africa. I lived as a young girl in Nairobi. And I loved it. This film brought it all back.: the sound, the people, the smell of the landscape.. My mother is gone now. And yet this is what brings her back to me.

      It is yet another Year later than when you posted (2024) now. I hope you are well. I am 60 now and live in Australia. I was born in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1963 and lived in Africa for the first 12 years of my life. I remember it well. I love this Movie and the Soundtrack - hard to believe the Movie and Sound Track were first released 39 years ago. My father passed away 11 years ago but my mother is still going strong at 86. God Bless

      It is never too late. I never lived in Africa and a pure white person so to speak but that movie and music made me feel I lived there in a former life. As long of the sounds and evn the smell live around you, know that your Mom is still alive and is looking over you. That movie and music mad me feel like I was flying over my homeland where I can find the beginning and the end, peace at last.I always wanted to go there but I limit my travels to see my Mom in France considering she is 97. Treasure the memories, smell, landscape, the people and the music that brings you back to your Mom. She is technically gone but not spiritually. She lives in you through that. Embrace her spirit

    This soundtrack is bittersweet for me. I cry every time I hear it. It’s been years now. Me and my brother, my only sibling listened to this together. He was diagnosed in 1986 with AIDS. In 1994 he became ill. He wasn’t ready to die. He fought the battle for 2 years. This lovely song was his favorite. It helped to bring him peace and calmed his heart. Michael was a beautiful person who loved life. I look forward to meeting you in heaven with our Lord.

    I lived in South Africa for 48 years & spent most of my holidays driving around various National wildlife parks and taking safari drives with game rangers.
    John Barry captures the stillness & drama of Africa's magnificent wildlife, the peace of a dawn or watching animals through the fantastical colours caught & refracted by a dusty savannah sunset.
    Just driving for mile after mile, Africa's wild open spaces drains all stress & worry from you, stills your mind & opens your heart to new vistas, new adventures, one with nature & sharing that special bond between God's created Kingdom with those you love.
    John Barry's music captures this perfectly.

    Listening to this brings me tears, each time.. My father loved Africa and lived there almost all his life. I remember the time when we were flying with his little plane over elephants and other animals, with my brother and my mother, in Gaboon... We were happy. Now he is flying with angels and only memories remains.
    I love you dad, thank you for all.

    The flying sequence always reminds me of my Parents. Not because of the plot, but in the fact that the were both instructor pilots who met working together after WWII. They flew open cockpit biplanes and fell in love soaring through the skies, including landing on beaches like in one scene. They would have both turned 100 years old this year. Dad flew with the USAAF in the South Pacific and Mom was a civilian instructor pilot. “The Greatest Generation”. I miss them so.

      As much as I appreciate the comments regarding the "Greatest Generation; Every generation, then and Now, faces a common enemy, Evil and Wanton Destruction!
      A wise theologian once wrote, and I
      paraphrase, " Nostalgia may reflect
      a belief that God is exhausted in the
      Present."
      Right now, at this very instant, some
      Sociopathic Bastard is Contemplating an assault upon the
      Most innocent and vulnerable: Our
      Children! Columbine, Sandy Hook,
      Uvalde...The List goes on, and on..
      Ad infinitem Evil accosted us when Six Million men, women, and CHILDREN lost their Innocence and Lives at the Hands of Evil!!
      Our Generation, not the Greatest Generation, who more than did their Part, asks us this Critically Important Question: " Are you, the Generation of 2024, prepared to do YOUR PART?!?"
      If OUR generation answers with ANYTHING other than an Unflinching, EMPHATIC, "YES !!"
      Then we have proven ourselves unworthy before GOD and HISTORY!!
      Innocense, LOVE, and Especially our
      Beloved CHILDREN, Will ask what
      We did during The Pandemie of Mass Murder currently Attacking
      Civilization?
      Join me, and Millions of Others in Answering that QUESTION.
      This is Our Normandy, Our Terblinka, OUR obligation to Fight
      EVIL with All Our Hearts, and All Our
      Minds, and All OUR SOULS.
      Join me in OUR sacred And Honorable Task, repudiating and defeating EVIL once AGAIN!
      Faithfully and With LOVE,

      John Barry was not human . He was an alien descended from the high heavens. No human being can aspire to achieve the Godliness of his music. His music was... and is in perfect sync with the Creator. The vastness, the non-perception of time, the drama and the awareness of how negligible is Man compared to all of Creation.

    Love Kenya with a passion and this film and its music stirs memories. Lucky to have visited twice - once at 17 and again at 29 with my new wife - camping both times. The second time, whilst at a campsite near Olorgesailie in the Rift Valley, we heard lions calling to each other in the still of the night. It was the most memorable sound in nature I have ever heard. Somehow, it was reassuring, rather than frightening - whilst the bull elephant at Amboseli, which stayed the night outside our tent, was a little less comforting.

      Actually, the film shows both, the bad and the evil, the good and the horrid of Africa in those years. The life of Karen Blixen was hard in Africa. For those who ventured in that continent many times a dream became a nightmare.

      Out of Africa is my favorite score of his. Besides being a master composer, he was fun, bright and very easy to be around. A gentleman in the best sense of the work.

Ah, and that haunting woodwind . . the sublime tempo and perfectly measured, supremely . . knowing . . pace. The melody, exquisite, perfect, wraps around your soul, cuts through the heart and shatters with a note all defences.

    Thank you for posting this beautiful music. It reminds me so much of my parents and their lives in Africa during the 1950s...my father was a Jamaican RAF bomber pilot during WW2 and my mother Emglish..... They so loved Africa and this sweeping, incandescent, music reminds me of their bravery having a mixed marriage at a time when, in some respects, such things were easing, but in others, perhaps not.

      Given the human condition he either had a great love in his life or he suffered great pain. Both inspire great compositions.

    I saw "Out of Africa" movie like 6 years old little boy. Loved it from first site. Amazing real story written by Karen. Terrific love story played by the best actors Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. John Bary's soundtrack is one of the best pieces. ❤ Robert Henry Przybyla
