It’s been an honor of a lifetime to have been invited to be a part of this iconic franchise and collaborating with my good friend Fede Álvarez on the score for ALIEN: ROMULUS was beyond inspiring. He wanted to push all the limits whilst still writing a love letter to the

Danny Elfman’s iconic Batman Theme knocked me sideways when I first heard it aged about 9 and I’ve loved it ever since. It’s not often you get a chance to musically celebrate one of your heroes and it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had getting the chance to reimagine those

As those layers of orchestration build before the Batman title hits…. one of the best opening title theme moments of all time? My 9 year old self certainly thought so back in 1989…. And I’d forgotten the first featured instrument on the tune was a Cor Anglais!! Love it.#DConMax.

These incredible musicians play this music at sight, there’s no rehearsal. The red light goes on, we record their first reading and the way they play always floors me. Not just their virtuosity and endurance, but the sheer emotional power they bring to every note. Always an honor.
Step into the studio with composer @BenWallfisch as he conducts the orchestra at Abbey Road Studios to the track ‘Worlds Collide’ from The Flash – Watch Now:

Thank you Paul! Complements literally don’t get any bigger than that!.
The #Shazam score by Benjamin Wallfisch harkens back to a John Williams Superman type hero score, which is fitting given the material. It plays well throughout, especially the ending, which is sure to bring audiences back again and again for…reasons. @ShazamMovie @joblocom.

Thank you sir! @TheRochaSays #TheInvisibleMan.
#TheInvisibleMan is a terrifying masterpiece of futuristic horror noir brilliantly directed by @LWhannell . #ElisabethMoss is outstanding! You’ll FEEL every second of her claustrophobic fear. #BenjaminWallfisch ‘s score is a contender for best score of 2020. What an experience.

Mind blown hearing King Charles mentioning my Grandma Anita Lasker Wallfisch in this broadcast a couple of days ago on @ClassicFM . I spoke to her on the phone after, and in her typical style she said “Brilliant cellist? Nonsense. I was just a humble quaver pusher” Love her!!

The symbolism of her being awarded Germany’s highest civilian honor kind of knocked me sideways, but when I spoke to her after the ceremony she just said ‘Ah well, another gong for my suitcase’. Couldn’t be more proud of this lady, my incredible Grandma.
