Summary: An exquisite soundtrack for an exquisite film 2008-10-13
Comment: As I rule, I don't run out and purchase soundtracks, especially after just seeing the film; however, this was the clear exception. Rachel Portman has crafted a wonderfully lyrical and exquisite score to accompany this equally exquisite film about the relationship between William Cavendish and Georgiana Spencer, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire (played beautifully by Ralph Fiennes and Kiera Knightley) and the Lady Elizabeth Foster. The Portman score, interspersed with music of the period, works wonderfully at creating a sense of mood and drama without borrowing greatly (if at all) from music of the late 18th century or, blessedly, resorting to over the top bombast or sonic contrivances and clichés. It remains true to the sensibilities, subject matter and time and place of the film. The intimate moments are reflected tenderly in the accompanying music yet remains unobtrusive; it is but a jewel shimmering in the distance and never looks to out shine its source material. Needless to say that I loved the film, as well, so I highly recommend both it and its accompanying soundtrack.
