Notes
This disc celebrates some of the cinema’s most memorable musical moments, selected and arranged for four guitars by members of the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet. Many of the film scores represented here are classics, with the awards to prove it. The scores for films such as Frida, Titanic, Schindler’s List, and Il postino have won Academy Awards and the theme from Chocolat won a Golden Globe. The Quartet explores the full stylistic spectrum of the film music genre and finds that in the sheer variety of music ‘the guitar truly comes alive’. There is something for everyone here, from Mike Oldfield to John Williams. The Aquarelle Guitar Quartet is a dynamic and innovative ensemble that captivates audiences with repertoire and performance alike. It performs extensively throughout the UK to great critical acclaim.

Reviews
“ An absolutely delightful album” ****
John Sunier – AudiophileAudition.com – 18 March 2013
“...this British ensemble seems incapable of playing less than a glorious range of sound, perfect ensemble, and exquisite taste. This is superb playing, and the music is ravishing.”
Kenneth Keaton – American Record Guide – November/December 2012
"...there is nothing here not to enjoy. The four guitarists are highly capable, the arrangements are tasteful, and the music is enjoyable ..."
Raymond Tuttle - Fanfare - November/December 2012
"... these skilled transcriptions and renditions are as good as they get in their chosen medium this could well become something of a hit - music for all the family." *****
Colin Anderson - Time Out - 14 June 2012
