DIRECTOR'S NOTES So, when we were looking to bring music to Enigma with its complicated mixture of action, intellect and romance, John was our man. But he beat us to it he got to us first. There was no disguising his passion for the subject and the period, of his sense that the story of the Bletchley Park code-breakers was as rich and heroic as any in this time of unparalleled national courage. His task was to weave whole cloth out of the many intriguing and disparate threads, and to deliver, by journey's end, a feeling of joyous resolution. He had to deal with a director who babbled platitudes to him about keeping a sense of the 1940s, while wanting the score to be contemporary in its energy and timeless in its appeal. If this wasn't enough, he had to make the music away from the familiarity and intimacy of the recording studio, in the vast public arena of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with musicians he'd never worked with before. However difficult the challenges, this soundtrack is testament to the magnificence of John's response. I thank him for his labours, his wife Laurie for her encouragement and support, and his engineer, John Richards, who has the patience of a saint. Michael Apted, director

Enigma, starring Dougray Scott, Kate Winslet, Jeremy Northam and Saffron Burrows, is a romantic thriller based on the international best-selling novel by Robert Harris, directed by Michael Apted, and produced by Mick Jagger's Jagged Films and Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video. Adapted for the screen by Tom Stoppard, Enigma is produced by Mick Jagger and Lorne Michaels. Executive producers are Intermedia's Guy East and Nigel Sinclair, Senator Films' Hanno Huth, and Victoria Pearman and Michael White. David Brown is co-producer. Steeped in the atmosphere of wartime England, this mystery of codes and codebreaking, love and betrayal set inside Station X, the birthplace of the computer age, has much contemporary relevance in today's world of the Internet and computer hackers. The Story Unknown to his colleagues, Jericho has another equally baffling enigma of his own to unravel: Claire, the woman with whom he has fallen in love, has disappeared from Bletchley just when the authorities suspect there may be a spy at the Park. To get to the bottom of both mysteries he enlists the help of Hester, Claire's best friend. Together they keep one step ahead of the secret services and investigate Claire's mysterious life, reaching a conclusion that uncovers international and personal betrayals.
