Dario Marianelli's score for the 2005 movie of Pride and Prejudice is probably one of the most popular Jane Austen soundtracks. Played by the fantastic pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, the music is both moving and calming even for those who may have problems with the adaptation. Like Carl Davis for the 1995 mini-series, Marianelli is inspired by Beethoven in the piano music and yet makes it more fluid and modern through rhythmic and instrumental choices. This episode delves into all those specific themes and choices that makes this so beloved.
