Dario Marianelli was born in Pisa in Italy and is now based in London. Although he has been composing for the visual media for less than a decade, he has achieved a respectable number of film and television credits. These credits include 2 films which have both won BAFTA awards: Michael Winterbottom's "In This World" and Asif Kapadia's "The Warrior", both of these films curiously being set in Asia. Two of his more recent films have achieved a higher profile in terms of budget, and these seem likely to propel his talents further in the industry. In addition to the latest version of the romantic Jane Austin novel Pride and Prejudice, Marianelli has also created the soundtrack for Terry Gilliam's latest film The Brothers Grimm. The stylish "V for Vendetta" is also a great soundtrack: very gothic and theatrical, a touch quirky but strangely modern. Marianelli's latest score Atonement has real emotional depth and brings back the composer's previous pianist partner from "Pride and Prejudice": Jean-Yves Thibaudet.
There is some excellent sheet music from Marianelli's score to Pride and Prejudice which pianists will enjoy playing. See the track listing in the Pride and Prejudice review for links.
