Lush, romantic score that tells the story

Dangerous Beauty is one of my favorite movies, and I’ve always loved the score album for presenting the cues in order. Perhaps that’s a bit silly, but it does mean that I can play the score from beginning to end and hear the story through the speakers. Of course, you’re not going to get that experience here at SST, listening to one track at a time in the queue, but that’s okay. Many of the tracks tell their own stories.

For this tale of a famous poet-courtesan in 15th-century Venice, George Fenton writes a romantic score which imitates, but never tries to duplicate, the sounds of the period. (This is fair enough, considering the film is inspired by the life of historical figure Veronica Franco but takes many liberties with the history.) We are first introduced to Veronica in “Venice, Proud and Pretty.” We watch her fall in love and have her heart broken in “The First Kiss” and “I Cannot Marry You.” Her rise to fame, her trial before the Inquisition, and her eventual bittersweet triumph all play out in the music.

Much of the music is light and airy, like sunshine in Venice, though the movie is called Dangerous Beauty, and danger does indeed lurk around the corners. I highly recommend “Second Poetry Duel.” The track begins as Veronica entertains her fans with her poetry. She accepts a challenge from one of them, but the duel turns violent and even though she wins, the victory does not represent a happy ending.

Request: “Job Training / The Library” “Second Poetry Duel” “Verdict / End Titles” are some of my favorites, but I honestly don’t think there are any bad tracks on this album. Try them all out!
