"Altogether, this double CD was pleasurable to listen to and a nostalgic reminder of the many films featured in it."
(MusicWeb March 2002)

All the really great "spine-tingling" movie moments seem to be accompanied by great classical music and here they all are on one 2-CD set at Two-for-one price. This is not just a collection of great "soundtracks" but also a collection of the most popular and touching moments from the greatest classical favourites, all in great performances from the Decca and Philips catalogues.

The cinema has brought classical music to a huge audience and this set offers retailers a "must-have" collection to answer the constant requests for "the music from the film...". All the great moments are here, with tracks used in Platoon, Brief Encounter, The Piano, Amadeus, Diva, Billy Elliot, Death in Venice, Shine and many, many more.
