Cheap Cds - Atonement OST

Customer Rating:

Summary: A Mesmerising Soundtrack.
Comment: The Golden Globe Winner for Best Original Score, the soundtrack for 'Atonement' is one which will
certainly go down in history. A stunning masterpiece, this album is a breakthrough for film
composition and a milestone for Marianelli. His best since 'Pride & Prejudice' (which I considered
very hard to beat).

Summary: Certainly not Pride & Prejudice mark two.
Comment: When I first saw the trailer for this film, I knew I wanted to see it for two reasons: one was
because I loved Pride & Prejudice and Joe Wright directed both and the other reason was because
Dario Marianelli did the soundtrack for both. I can't get enough of the sweeping, romantic
soundtrack for Pride and Prejudice and the CD is never far from my car. This is an altogether more
tense and edgy affair, in keeping with the story, but it is just as beautiful, just as emotional.
Each track reminds me of a moment in the film and takes me back there, to the cinema, where I am
watching it all over again. This is especially true of the 'Elegy for Dunkirk' a simply stunning
sequence in the film, and the bitter-sweet 'Cottage on the Beach'. I am pleased to say that the
gentle but dramatic piano of Jean-Yves Thibaudet is also back in this score. Marianelli very
cleverly uses the sound of a typewriter to illustrate the moments when the enigmatic Briony, the
central character in the story, is on screen, doing her worst. It could be jarring for someone just
wanting some pleasant background music but it certainly adds something for those of us who have
seen, and want to recall the overall feeling of the film. See the movie, then buy the soundtrack.
And may Joe Wright and Dario Marianelli continue to collaborate for many years to come.

Summary: Worth buying
Comment: Having seen a preview of this film a couple of weeks ago, I was enthralled by the film and the music
was key to this. The music was perfectly written to coincide with the poignant moments in the film.
A brilliant soundtrack which would be perfect to listen to in the background of a dinner party, or
just to listen to and appreciate. It is certainly worth buying.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Atonement soundtrack one of the highlights of the movie
Comment: I have seen this film twice at previews prior to its release in the UK on 7th September. The film
is excellent and one of the best things about it is the score which is very inventive and underpins
the film's emotional scenes. The end-title music is particularly good and will encourage you to
stay in your seat and read the credits!

This isn't strictly a review of the product
on offer as it hasn't landed on my doormat yet but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
