Sinfonia of London
Location:  Additional Information: The Sinfonia of London is a session orchestra based in London, England. Gordon Walker, an eminent flautist of his time, founded the ensemble in 1955 specifically for the recording of film music. Over the next 25 years, the Sinfonia of London appeared on the musical credits of many British and American films. Among the ensemble's most celebrated commercial classical recordings is its 1963 recordings with John Barbirolli conducting the Serenade for Strings of Edward Elgar and the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis of Ralph Vaughan Williams for EMI Classics and the 1958 soundtrack album from the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Vertigo with Bernard Herrmann's score conducted by Mathieson (Mercury Records). In 1982 the title Sinfonia of London was bought by Peter Willison and Howard Blake from the Walker family for the purpose of having a named orchestra for the first recording of 'The Snowman'. In February 1998, Bruce Broughton was named the orchestra's second musical director after Blake. Under Peter Willison's management, the orchestra went on to record many soundtracks for major Hollywood films, including 'The Mummy Returns', 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider', 'Lost in Space', 'Lawnmower Man 2', 'Stargate', 'Tombstone', 'Batman', 'Robocop', 'Young Sherlock Holmes'. -- from Wikipedia Upload a new song by this artist Last Updated: 4 Nov. 2012 Added By:
