“Wilson is a trusted guide with an obvious passion (and knowledge
of) the subject…no stone is unturned…The detail here is pretty
extraordinary, with fascinating asides and valuable insights from
working film composers, including Oscar winners Howard Shore and
Alexander Desplat…His vivid descriptions of what the music sounds
