This playlist follows Edmond Dantès from imprisonment and loss toward patience, reinvention, and the perilous pull of revenge, with the sea and the measured grandeur of nineteenth-century Europe in its sound. Instrumental pieces set the scenes and shifting fortunes; the vocal songs turn toward betrayal, endurance, identity, and the complicated cost of seeking justice.
