Reviews:

“Superlative state-of-the-art sound coupled with Farnon’s superlative music. The film selections are a treasure but the additional pieces like “A La Claire Fontaine”{a beautiful setting of a beautiful French-Canadian Folk Song), “Lake of the Woods”(a hauntingly beautiful tone poem), and “Rhapsody for Violin and Orchestra”(a glorious piece)- all under the baton of the magic maestro himself with one of the greatest London orchestras at his command – this is as good as it can possibly get!” —Wayne Choma
