All the Money in The World (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the film score to the 2017 film All the Money in the World directed by Ridley Scott starring Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer and Mark Wahlberg. The film score is composed by Daniel Pemberton and performed by the London Chamber Orchestra. The album was released through Sony Classical Records on December 22, 2017, three days before the film's release.

Development

Daniel Pemberton composed the film score after previously working with Scott on The Counselor (2013). ^[1] Before working on the project, he started researching on the sounds and found very rural folk music in Sardinia, which he liked it. However, when he read the script and watching the final edit, he was unsure how it would fit in the film. As they managed to use a small bit in the film, Pemberton travelled to Sardinia to record the folk sounds with the locals there, calling it an exciting process. ^{[2] [3]}

Pemberton noted the film has different elements for a composer, especially based on the world of Getty and the world of kidnappers and wanted to tie them together. ^[4] Hence, Scott wanted a big theme that could be used in different ways. The piano-based theme was heard in the opening of the film, but Pemberton enhanced the sounds with traditional Italian folk sounds and musical bangs, along with traditional orchestra and operaic elements along with guitar sounds. ^{[5] [6]}

The film faced casting changes after Kevin Spacey, who played Getty, was accused of sexual misconduct allegations and Christopher Plummer was recast in that role with those portions being reshot. Because of the last-minute changes in post-production, usual composers had to be swapped in the role. However, Scott was insisted on Pemberton's involvement despite the reshoots and post-production changes. ^[7] The score was recorded in London at the Abbey Road Studios, AIR Studios and the Pool, while the score was performed by London Chamber Orchestra. ^[8]

Reception

Sean Wilson of Set the Tape called the score "very impressive", noting that "[a] shorter album presentation curtailing some of the more atmospheric noodling would have worked wonders, but when the score hits big, it's a powerful reminder why Daniel Pemberton is one of the greatest composers working in film today." ^[9] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter praised the "fine score", ^[10] while Hannah Strong of Little White Lies noted that Pemberton's score had "shades of Handel's sublime Sarabande". ^[11]
