Nicholas Nickleby [Rachel Portman]

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed by Rachel Portman

From one of Charles Dickens` most beloved novels come some of his most beloved characters, vibrantly brought to life by a star-studded, award-winning cast. In NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, young Nicholas and his family enjoy a comfortable life - but then again, this is Dickens. Nicholas` father dies, the family is left penniless, and Nicholas, his sister and mother venture to London to seek help from their Uncle Ralph. Unfortunately, Ralph`s only intentions are to break up the family and exploit them and Nicholas is sent to work at a school run by the cruel and abusive Wackford Squeers. Eventually, Nicholas runs away with his kindhearted friend Smike, and the two set off on an adventure to reunite the family.

The absolutely captivating score is by Oscar-winner Rachel Portman (The Cider House Rules, Chocolat). When you first hear this, you`ll know it`s Rachel Portman. Reminiscent of Cider House Rules and Legend of Bagger Vance, this score confirms that Rachel Portman is one of the best. Romantic, uplifting, melodic, nostalgic. She brings all of this to every score she writes.
