Based on the book by Vera von Schalburg, starring Valerie Niehaus, Fritz Karl and Dustin Raschdorf and directed by Miguel Alexandre DIE SPIONIN is a film that will debut on German television ARD on the 27th December 2013 (at 20.15 local time). The musical score written by British composer, conductor and orchestrator Nic Raine, whose collaborations include a 20 year work relationship with Iconic composer John Barry, orchestrating the Liverpool Oratorio for Paul McCartney and many more. The score is the perfect marriage of warm and beautiful melodic themes and elaborate brooding suspense music. Nic Raine's deep understanding of the orchestra and innate talent for melody manages to create the perfect soundtrack. You cannot miss having this CD!

• Nic Raine is a true master. I have never met anyone who so deeply understands the orchestra as a musical voice. But it's not only his sense of orchestration and his talent for melody that makes him so unique. It's also his knowledge of how music underlines and counterpoints the rhythm of film editing, how it hightens performances and makes the story come alive. In fact, Nic is a real storyteller, using his art to enlighten key moments in the film, translating them into rhythm and emotion. "The Spy" is our second collaboration, and one of the reasons why I was so keen on making the film was the prospect of working with Nic again! Not only is it a lot of fun to be around him, but going to the recording sessions is like buying yourself the best concert ticket in the world. Can't wait for the next one! - Miguel Alexandre (DIE SPIONIN Director)
