Toller Überblick über das Filmusik-Schaffen des Multi-Instrumentalisten Tony Hinnigan und seiner Band Incantation. Seit Ennio Morricone 1986 Tony Hinnigan und seine Band Incantation engagierte, um den Soundtrack für den Film "The Mission" einzuspielen, gehören Hinnigan und seine Mitstreiter zu den wohl gefragtesten Film-Musikern überhaupt. Ohne den Multi-Instrumentalisten Hinnigan - er spielt u.a. Cello sowie verschiedenste folkloristische Blasinstrumente - sind die Soundtracks zu Kassenschlagern wie beispielsweise "Brave Heart", "Titanic", "The Shipping News", "The Mask Of Zorro" oder "The Piano" geradezu undenkbar. Für die vorliegende CD hat Tony Hinnigan eine Auswahl von Stücken der wichtigsten Filme, an deren Soundtrack er mitgewirkt hat, neu arrangiert und eingespielt und so eine Art Werkschau in Bezug auf sein Filmmusik-Schaffen zusammengestellt. "I feel very privileged to have Tony's arrangements of some of my movie themes included on this album" - James Horner ("Braveheart", "Titanic", "The Mask Of Zorro"). "Tony's been my right-hand cellist for longer than I can remember - as soloist, quartetplayer and Michael Nyman Band diehard - and now arranger, producer and multi-instrumentalist. What more could I ask for?" - Michael Nyman ("The Piano"). "The main regret I have about Tony Hinnigan is that he's only played on one of my film scores, but I'm flattered that he's chosen to include 'Handful of Dust' on this album..." -George Fenton ("Handful Of Dust"). "What you are about to hear on this CD, as I did upon hearing Tony's playing for the first time when recording 'The Shipping News' film score, is the work of someone who has mastered his instrument. He is a member of an elite clan. As far as I'm concerned and I'd bet everyone else who has had the great fortune of working with him - the best!" - Chris Young ("The Shipping News")
