***** 'A superb collection of marvellous and magical music played to perfection … An essential purchase.’
Runmovies.eu**** ‘With this new release, Tiomkin’s music may be introduced to a whole new legion of film music fans. One of the best film music re-recordings we are likely to see this year.’
Film Music Review**** ‘This fine selection was recorded at the Barbican last year, and is played with terrific panache by the London Symphony Orchestra under Richard Kaufman.’
The Guardian**** 'The scores are presented and performed as though they were any music by well-known composers, and the rich instrumentation and expert playing of the London Symphony musicians makes for quite a more involving listening situation than the often cut-rate film music recordings.'
Audiophile Audition‘The LSO sound fully engaged and Richard Kaufman steers them confidently through the scores’ trickier corners. Great fun!’
