Before I begin my review, must make mention of the past projects this group of musicians and singers have collaborated on ~ "Cinema Choral Classics"(SILKD-6015)..."Cinema Choral Classics II"(SILKD-6017)..."Cinema's Classic Romances"(SILKD-6018)...this their latest release "Apocalypse:Cinema Choral Classics", is no exception...BRILLIANT!

Under the watchful eye of producer James Fitzpatrick, choir master David Temple and the Crouch End Festival Chorus, conductors Nic Raine and Paul Bateman with The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra...plus the original soundtrack orchestra with conductor Stepan Konicek on "THE NINTH GATE"(Wojciech Kilar), is mesmirizing, almost hypnotic in substance, beautiful solo by Charlotte Kinder.

Entire album is a must have for "film-score-buffs", and if Silva Screen Classics continue to do such an outstanding job, my collection will go through the rafters.

Total Time: 74:33 on 18 Tracks ~ Silva Screen Records SILKD-6025 ~ (2001)

I wish the majority of tracks were a little more haunting. My favorite track was VIDE COR MEUM. Unfortunately, it's the shortest track on the CD. A lot of the pieces are very recognizable. They blend together well. It doesn't feel like a typical "soundtrack" CD.
