Pure Genius
This CD is one of the best I have ever listened to! It shows the elegance of the movie instead of the pop and rap music on the regular soundtrack. It's great to listen to while reading and especially good while doing homework or studying since orchestra music opens the mind. I strongly recommend purchasing this CD!

Beautiful orchestral score
John Debney has composed a jaunty, heart-warming score for this movie. I recommend this CD and the movie to people of all ages, not just to the kids that the movie was aimed at. If you have trouble finding this score, try specialty soundtack outlets like Screen Archives Entertainment or Intrada. Warning: please do not confuse this delightful score CD with the awful pop songs CD; avoid that pop songs collection at all costs.

A hidden gem
I say "hidden" gem because I didn't even know this album existed until one year after the movie came out. And the fact that the only place I've seen it for sale was on Amazon.com just tells you what rare a find this is. I've been a fan of "The Princess Diaries" for quite some time now, and I've always loved the beautiful score. The music really captures the elegance of the film, the same way the pop music soundtrack caputures the "teeny bopper" aspect of the film (does anyone use that term anymore?). The music is very classical and the orchestrations are wonderful--it almost sounds too good to be a movie score! It's great to listen to when you just want to sit back, relax, and have a nice cup of tea. ;) I only wish the Disney company would have marketed this soundtrack a little better so I could have learned about it sooner! (At least display it next to the pop soundtrack--jeesh.) A must-have for any "Princess Diaries" fan.
