Desplat wasn’t much known outside Europe before he composed the score to <b>Girl with a pearl earring</b>. Thankfully this has changed since then.
The Soundtrack fits perfectly to the movie’s atmosphere: Two themes are the basis of the ST – the slightly restraint one for Vermeer and the charming and catchy theme for Griet.
Those themes work their way through the whole Soundtrack, but the music never sounds redundant – thanks to a real masterly orchestration. Desplat uses mainly strings and hoodwinds, but also integrates rarely heard instruments like viola d’amore (Track 11) and Glass harp (Track 5, 6).
Tracks 9, 12 and 16 are imO perfect musical expressions of the impressions a painter gathers to create a painting.
It’s a wonderfully romantic, mysterious and melancholic music that unfolds its congeniality the more, the more often you listen to it.
