Composer Mark McKenzie has written a superb score for the upcoming animated Mexican film production of "Max And Me", concerning the life and martyred death of Franciscan priest Maximillian Kolbe, who gave his life so that others may live, in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Here is my critique of this brilliant original motion picture score.

A note from composer Mark McKenzie regarding the release of his newest, most powerful film score...
One hundred thirty-five of London’s finest musicians gathered at Abbey Road Studios to record MAX AND ME including one of the most expressive solo artists of our generation, concert violinist Joshua Bell. Polish priest Maximillian Kolbe, tortured at Auschwitz asked those around him to not be overcome with hatred but to love for “Only love is creative.” His compassion lead him to sacrificially die in Auschwitz's starvation bunker to help a man with children survive. The film makers, musicians and I hope this message of hope, love, and beauty amidst great darkness will be enjoyed by many and spread widely. A portion of each sale goes to the Shoah Foundation, Word Vision and Catholic Relief Services.

Sorry, Thor. I honestly hadn't noticed the previous thread.

This is a truly marvelous score and easily the superb composer's best work to date. Perhaps if fans mounted a letter, or e-mail writing campaign to Sony Classical, the label might be persuaded to release the score commercially on CD. With so much crap being released on CD, it's mind boggling that Sony wouldn't make the music available to a wider spectrum of music enthusiasts. Certainly, the presence of Joshua Bell on the soundtrack would be a lure to admirers of serious music.
