The year 2005 was big for Italian composer Dario Marianelli. His score for The Brothers Grimm received much applause (probably more than the film itself) and a few months later he came back with another batch of compositions for a period film. This time around, the plaudits are reversed: The film is better than the score. And that's not the only reversal: Since several of his compositions were to be performed by some of the characters on screen, Marianelli wrote parts of the music before the movie was shot, switching the order in which these things are usually done. The onscreen pieces are for solo piano, and Marianelli got a huge leg up by having them played by famed classical performer Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Marianelli was instructed by director Joe Wright to think along the lines of Beethoven (tall order!) but unlike The Brothers Grimm, which cleverly mixed and matched its classical influences, Pride & Prejudice fails to acquire a personality of its own. A few tracks, such as "Arrival at Netherfield," even border on George Winston territory. The intervention of the English Chamber Orchestra usually helps, but overall the score's palette sticks too much to a monochromatic beige. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Pride and Prejudice sound track October 9, 2008
I was amazed at how fast Amazon mailed my CD to me. The CD it's self is great. Thank you.
 Pride and Prejudice movie soundtrack October 2, 2008
We love this CD. We wish, however, that the music would have been ordered as they were presented in the movie.
Absolutely Breath-taking September 29, 2008
The music alone is so fantastic, so full of emotions and completely lyric free. The different melodies and movements speak their own language as well as bring forth a whole range of different emotions. You can't help but picture beautiful landscape while listening to the soundtrack. It moves you and makes you feel as though you have butterflies in your stomach, I think that alone is worth it.
Delightful Pleasure for the Soul September 18, 2008
Wow...this CD is simply beautiful. Each piece reveals a bit of history of that time era, along with the events that happen in the movie. Fantastic movie and book, by the way...so naturally the music is just as delightful.
JANE AUSTEN FAN August 25, 2008
ANYONE WHO IS A JANE AUSTEN FAN WOULD LOVE THIS VERSION. WELL-DONE IN ALL AREAS. ACTORS WELL-RECOGNIZED FOR GOOD WORKS. SCENERY IS FANTASTIC OF THAT PERIOD. THE CLASSIC LOVE STORY WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. THE MUSIC TRACK IS A MUST PURCHASE AS IT BRINGS BACK TO MEMORY THE LOVELY MOVIE.
