A life long interest in film music led John Wilson to restore a number of classic scores including the previously lost orchestration of major MGM musicals including ‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘High Society’, ‘Singin’ in the Rain’, ‘The Band Wagon’ and ‘An American in Paris’. Their wildly successful. sold-out BBC Proms appearances have been praised as ‘Technicolour for y our ears’. Says EMI Classics President Eric Dingman: “We couldn’t be more thrilled about the opportunity to work with them and to bring their recordings, and other John Wilson Orchestra products, to audiences in the UK, USA, Europe and the rest of the world.”
