This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.more Robin Buss’s lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas’s original. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suff Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. This score allowed Shearmur to branch out and test some more styles of composition and the result is a cohesive score that nicely supports the themes of romance, adventure, and vengeance in a post-Napoleon era.Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. The album ends on a quiet note with an expanded version of the main romance theme in the "End Credits". The music becomes more playful and romantic during the second half as Dantes plots his revenge as the Count of Monte Cristo, but Shearmur delves back into dark, bombastic music in "Retribution", closing the film with a powerful low brass cue. He captures the music of the period in "An Invitation to the Ball" with racing strings and a blaring trumpet fanfare. Shearmur also uses a moving percussion line behind the orchestra in "Finding the Treasure". Shearmur uses some interesting instrumentation to some of the adventure music that adds depth to the score, such as the lilting solo violin in "Training Montage", a common adventure orchestration heard, for example, in Pirates of the Caribbean and Treasure Planet. ![]() The main theme first appears in "Marseille" and then does not reappear until the end of "Escape from the Island" when Dantes (Jim Caviezel) regains his freedom. The album opens with "Introduction", a quiet beginning with a chorus and chimes that builds into a powerful brass cue. The main theme is a sweeping melody, most often played beautifully on French horn and used widely throughout the score. Calling in the talents of frequent Elliot Goldenthal collaborator, orchestrator Robert Elhai (who would provide the dark soundscape for Reign of Fire a few months later), Shearmur delivered a score supporting the adventure and majesty of the film and reflective of the time period in which it was set. In 2002, the remake of The Count of Monte Cristo, based on the Alexandre Dumas novel, helped push Shearmur into the limelight. He started off with smaller projects such as Species II and then was drowned out by rock songs for Charlie's Angels. Over the past couple of years, Edward Shearmur has shown an incredible versatility in his musical abilities, from the militaristic Reign of Fire and the Bond- parody Johnny English to the Celtic-influenced romance Laws of Attraction.
