Films

The Philharmonia Orchestra has recorded a wealth of film soundtracks throughout its history and features on well-known blockbusters including Madeline (1998), Entrapment (1999), Resident Evil II (2004), Flashbacks of a Fool (2008) and more recently Hideaways (2011) and Great Expectations (2012).

The Philharmonia’s experience in the studio, its ensemble and its flexibility to achieve the sound you require all contribute to the perfect movie soundtrack recording orchestra.

The orchestra is the best I ever had, and their attitude was so professional and accommodating. I hold the Philharmonia Orchestra in the highest regard.

It's always an honour having the Philharmonia bring my works to life, bringing as they do such intense musicality, vitality and precision to every performance they undertake.
