The mini-series of Emma (2009) came with the second wave of Austen TV adaptations in the 2008/2009 years. Since this adaptation has 4 hours, it can cover the whole story and in greater depth than the movies can. Samuel Sim, the composer, does a fantastic job of hinting at the classical era while having perhaps the largest orchestral sound with bells and brass to make it simultaneously joyful and wistful, matching this Emma's personality. Plus, Mr. Knightley's Walk is one of the best tracks featuring cello! Many themes and personalities are heard in this version making it a beautiful soundtrack to enjoy.
