 Bernard J. Taylor's
Pride and Prejudice - based on the
classic novel by Jane Austen - features Peter
Karrie,
Claire Moore, Gay Soper, Janet Mooney, Christopher Biggens and James
Staddon on the studio recording.
23 tracks. 63 minutes.
"Pride and
Prejudice boasts a plethora of glorious melodies . . . The ravishing ballads
that are Taylor's trademark are plentiful, but the score also contains several
light and jaunty pieces that serve to create a sweet yet flamboyant mood ... Pride and Prejudice is pastoral and precious, poignant and pure. In an era
when originality is increasingly rare and shows cobbled together from vintage
music is in vogue, composers like Bernard J. Taylor must be welcomed and
revered."
Mike Gibb, Masquerade
"Bernard J.
Taylor ... has returned to the past and fashioned what I
consider to be his best work to date. His score, which recreates the mood (and
musical style) of the period in which the novel is set, is a feast of lovely
melodies, wedded to excellent lyrics."
Terry Wardrope, Words and Music
"The score
with songs ranging from the light-hearted and humorous to the powerful and
moving easily lives up to the standard set by "Wuthering Heights"
and previous recordings."
