The 1995 Sense and Sensibility movie was my introduction to Jane Austen. I went to see it with friends and family for my 13th birthday and fell in love. It also was the second soundtrack and album I bought myself and I can still tell you where the break for turning over the cassette tape occurred. Patrick Doyle, the composer, was the composer that I grew up with through his adaptations of Shakespeare. The music in this film so beautifully encapsulates the restraint and sense of imitating classical music, the gorgeous singable melodies that Doyle is known for, as well as capturing the emotions and sensibility in key places. A true gem in the Austen adaptations.
