To those of you who are film and documentary buffs:
BFI has restored and released the 1927 documentary-recreation ‘The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands’ about British naval engagements in WWI with a newly commissioned score. The film itself is masterpiece of silent filmmaking and
the score shows the power of music in film.
