Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the film, directed by Joe Wright, starring Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Rosamund Pike, Donald Sutherland, Brenda Blethyn, Carey Mulligan, Tom Hollander & Dame Judi Dench.
Dario Marianelli's sublime Academy Award-nominated score, performed by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, is one of the most recognizable soundtracks in recent cinematic history, regularly featuring in 'Hall of Fame' lists. With the directive from Director Joe Wright to create a soundtrack that would have appealed to Jane Austen during her own lifetime, the soundtrack uses pre-existing works and folk tunes taking from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - including Purcell's incidental music from Abdelazar and a theme in Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. With an emphasis on keyboard music - and pianos a focal point of many of the film’s characters’ drawing rooms - influences of Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel and Brahms can be heard throughout the score.
Following their first professional collaboration on Pride & Prejudice, Marianelli collaborated with Wright again in 2007 to create the score for Atonement, the cinematic adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel of the same name, also starring Keira Knightley. Cementing their creative partnership, the composer and director worked together in 2009 for The Soloist, and in 2017 for the Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour.
