Sony Classical release of the soundtrack to Goodbye Christopher Robin with an original score by Carter Burwell. The movie offers a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children’s author A. A. Milne and his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his mother Daphne, and his nanny Olive, Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family...?

Carter Burwell delivers a sweet score for Goodbye Christopher Robin. The 26 tracks (1 hr, 55 sec) also incorporate a couple of songs from the time period: 'The Object Of My Affection (78 rpm Version)' (The Boswell Sisters with Jimmie Grier) and 'A Man and His Dream' (Al Bowlly).

On balance there's no real themes to latch onto, no real tracks to single out, just a well constructed score that delivers an endless flow of sweet, touching moments.

This is certainly an album you can get lost in.
