Well, I can say without fear of contradiction that this soundtrack is definitely worth the money. The original music from the film composed by Iva Davies is intermingled with beautiful versions of the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 K216 (3rd Movement) and most especially Boccherini's La Musica Notturna Delle Strade di Madrid No 6, Op. 30. I can just imagine Jack and Stephen in the Captain's Cabin immersing themselves in a musical world entirely distinct from the day-to-day realities of brutal and uncompromising warfare. I'm sure O'Brian would have approved.
Once it's on the iPod I'll be able to listen to it, whilst I read the last three books on the train. There are some good excerpts on iTunes or amazon.co.uk.
Enjoy!
