Product Description
Album Description
The Education score is by Paul Englishby. It features 'Smoke Without Fire' performed by Duffy 'Your Heart Is As Black As Night' performed by Melody Gardot and 'J'ai Deux Amours' performed by Madeleine Peyroux. The movie is set in 1960s London, Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is a bright 17 year old preparing to go to Oxford. After she meets a much older man (Peter Saarsgard) who smoothly romances her with flattery, stories and weekends in Paris, Jenny abandons her University plans, to the horror and consternation of her hard working father (Alfred Molina) and a teacher (Emma Thompson). Jenny must come of age and decide what is her real education. Soundtrack is by noted composer Paul Englishby (Miss Pettigrew Lives for A Day) and includes recognizable 60s pop songs performed by Ray Charles, Mel Torme, Juliette Greco and Percy Faith. Duffy will perform a new song written exclusively for this film. An Education is based on the novel by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) and is directed by Lone Scherfig. An Education received critical acclaim this past year when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as at the Berlin Film Festival. It opens in the U.S. on October 9 followed by releases in Europe and Australia.

Good but obscure tunes from the early Sixties,
By Rob Blyth (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Education (Audio CD)
I saw the movie and really enjoyed the music. The CD is great. This is pre-Beatles stuff from several genres like jazz, blues, early rockin instrumentals, and some French cafe music. I particularly liked the tracks from Floyd Cramer, Mel Torme and Juliette Greco.

Great movie with great music,

This review is from: An Education (Audio CD)
Hey, Amazon! "An Education" is not based on a novel by Nick Hornby. It's a screenplay by Nick Hornby based on a memoir -- a factual story, not a novel -- by the writer Lynn Barber. Moreover, Jenny's abandonment of her university plans is NOT meant with consternation by her father. I won't spoil the movie by saying what his reaction is, but your summary is incorrect on a pretty crucial plot point.I didn't own the CD when I first wrote the review, but I bought it for my wife and it is extremely enjoyable. (So this is a revision.) The original soundtrack material reflects the moody disquiet that underlies the story, and the period music is wonderful, especially the opening theme, a Floyd Cramer instrumental. You will also enjoy Mel Torme, Ray Charles, Vince Guaraldi, Madeleine Peyroux and the new song by Duffy that runs over the credits. It's the kind of pop music that probably dominated the airwaves in London in the years just prior to the Liverpool explosion -- decidedly mature, as the main character hopes to be, rather than a celebration of brash youth, which is what the Beatles represented. This was when cool equalled jazz and chansons en Francais. Very strong. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

I saw the movie, dug the music and this does not disappoint. Really great music, a nice variety of tunes. Mel Torme and Duffy, that's just fun!

This is one of the best soundtrack albums I've ever purchased. It's a combination of smart retro with a French vibe. I like it, my 25 year old daughter likes it, and my 15 year old god-daughter likes it. Something for everyone!
