Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Dramatico are proud to announce the release of the original motion picture soundtrack to Miss Potter, on which Katie Melua performs "When You Taught Me How to Dance," the vocal adaptation of the orchestral theme tune. The soundtrack is an orchestral score composed by the award-winning Nigel Westlake (Babe) with additional music by Rachel Portman (Oliver Twist, Benny & Joon, Chocolat). The lush, romantic and beautiful score takes the listener on a journey through Beatrix Potter's life, the creation of her much-loved characters, her personal turmoil and the beauty of the Cumbrian countryside (where the film is predominantly set).
Amazon.com
Echoing the intents of the successful James Barrie biopic Neverland, the tale of fellow Victorian children's author Beatrix Potter frames her life through a distinctly modern prism. In this telling, the creator of Peter Rabbit shrugs off provincial restraints to become something akin to a feminist environmentalist, a notion that's deftly underscored in this hybrid orchestral soundtrack by Australian Nigel Westlake and Oscar-winning vet Rachel Portman. The former's cues tend towards shimmering washes of strings and winds, weaving a wintry atmosphere that's more wondrous than treacly, while Portman's three contributions are cast in more shaded, autumnal arrangements that suggest the interior struggles of Potter herself. The coda to this delicate, compelling suite is Katie Melua's haunting ballad "When You Taught Me How to Dance," a slice of gentle melancholy that serves the score well. --Jerry McCulley

- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017Great score. Rachel Portman's influence can be heard. We were disappointed that Ewan McGregor's singing was not included. The included version of "When You Taught Me to Dance" has different lyrics than what Ewan sang in the film.

Peter R.Reviewed in Germany on October 28, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Ein wunderschöner Film....
über eine wahre Geschichte, mit ausgezeichneten Darstellern. Die Handlung ist fließend und ergreifend.Die Palette der Gefühle wird im ganzen Spektrum bedient. Die Landschaftsaufnahmen aus dem Lake Distrikt tun ihr übriges. Am Schluß geht man los und kauft das Buch " Peter Hase und seine Freunde", aber das ist schon wieder eine andere Geschichte.
