In 2004 the world of cinema lost one of the most iconic figures in film composing. In a career that spanned half-a-century and over 250 films, Elmer Bernstein was responsible for writing the music to many of the greatest and most loved movies of all time ranging from The Ten Commandments, The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape, through to True Grit and Airplane! This collection has been lovingly created and compiled as a tribute to a genius and true master of the art of film scoring.
