From Joe Wright, the award-winning director of Pride & Prejudice, comes another classic romance; the epic Atonement reunites the musical forces of Academy Award-nominated composer Dario Marianelli and esteemed Decca artist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. The original soundtrack for Atonement showcases the two creative geniuses, and was released by Decca on December 4th, 2007; Focus Features releases Atonement, starring James McAvoy, Keira Knightley (Academy Award nominee for Pride & Prejudice), and Romola Garai, in select cities on December 7th. With one note - a touch to a typewriter - the music becomes part of the story being told from the first moment of the film. Dario Marianelli's indelible theme follows the characters through their journeys across decades, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet's solo piano performances also framing their fates. The thematic piano playing is delightful and delicate, against a violin that conveys the pace necessary to the tale. The exquisite combination sustains all of the story's urgency, emotion, epic scope, and romance.
