"If you are a movie lover, then you probably love film music, especially the classic scores written by such past giants as Miklos Rosza or present day titan John Williams. Well, if you hunger for more richly orchestrated film-style music, this album will fill the bill very nicely--and there's more where it came from, as Mark Wolfram is a very active contemporary composer. The Sinfonia of London is a top-notch collection of London's best orchestral musicians, and under Mark's direction they give the kind of polished performance you would expect. The music itself covers a wide variety of cinema-influenced styles, all expertly handled by Maestro Wolfram. And the sound quality of the recording is excellent. Break out the popcorn!"

The Veil Was Pierced

"Listening to this recording was an astonishing experience for me. I followed the suggestions in the liner notes, turned off the lights, added candles and just listened. I am a writer, though not a screen writer. Immediately a story began to play in my mind's eye. I got characters, action, a plot and everything. In fact, I am going to write that story and dedicate it to Mark. Bravo! And thanks for the inspiration."
