• Dave Kehr of the New York Times previewed Mont Alto's appearance at Films at Lincoln Center, saying our scores "...are often breathtakingly beautiful and always in the strict service of the film on the screen." More complete reviews on our Reviews page.
• Available from Flicker Alley: a vast compendium of 173 early films by Georges Melies, several of which have scores by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, including his longest film, The Conquest of the Pole.
• DVDTalk has reviewed our new personal DVD release of Buster Keaton's The General -- "The new soundtrack by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra is wonderful to listen to and fits the movie very well. It's the best available score for this film which makes it easy to Highly Recommend this disc." For details and purchases, see The General on our Recordings page.
