Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Thematically, director Robert Altman's career sometimes seems an endless series of left-turns into the unexpected; the one constant has been a rich and rewarding attention to the intricacies of character development and interaction. Composer Patrick Doyle underscores Gosford Park's Merchant-Ivory/Agatha Christie/Altman-wit fusion and 1930s British upper-class setting with a score that's authentic for the period, character-rich and often sadly evocative. Doyle's restraint is masterful, often leaning on piano, accordion and small string arrangements that emphasise the characters' intimacies and the film's drawing-room settings. Key to the story are a handful of pre-war songs by Ivor Novello (who's also a character in the film), ranging from the sprightly humour of "And Her Mother Came Too" and "What a Duke Should Be" to the romantic schmaltz of "I Can Give You the Starlight" and "Why Isn't It You?". The latter is performed here at the piano (and, remarkably, live before the cameras) by actor Jeremy Northam. Leavened by a small jazz ensemble and a few darkly ominous cues, Doyle's score is an understated gem.--Jerry McCulley
