Tolstoy juxtaposes this ill-fated couple with the melancholy Levin and his new wife Kitty. Soon convinced that allowing herself to deeply love this man will enable her to find the meaning and truth of her life, Anna defies the conventions of Russian society and leaves her husband and children for her lover. The lovely Anna seems set in a respectable marriage with the powerful statesman Karenin, yet their lack of passion breeds the discontent she fully faces upon meeting the elegant and affluent officer Count Vronsky. The score’s outstanding composition “I Don’t Want You to Go” is wrought with tense emotions trimmed in Russian flavors.One of the greatest novels ever written, "Anna Karenina" follows the self-destructive path of a beautiful, popular, and sensual Russian aristocrat.
Conversely, “Kitty’s Debut” introduces the character of Princess Ekaterina "Kitty" Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya with sweeping lines and elegant movements that do well to accompany the princess’ radiant splendor. With darting changes and bursting melodies, “She Is of the Heavens” punctuates the electric presence of the story’s protagonist. He lets the drums announce the piece before they dissolve into a whimsical upstaging by woodwinds and string arrangements. But on the following “Dance with Me,” we first get a hint of Marianelli’s symphonic innovations. Here, the opening “Overture” overflows with a blend of orchestral music from the era and substantial elements of Eastern European folk instrumentation.
The Italian composer has provided sonic backdrops for such time-specific films as Jane Eyre, Atonement, and Pride & Prejudice. Dario Marianelli is no stranger to period-correct soundtracks.
