Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 multi-Oscar-winning historical drama is regarded as one of the greatest films of the 2000s. Voted no.1 in Total Film's Top Ten Films of the Decade and no.3 in the BBC's 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century, it also picked up two Academy Awards, and the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

The accompanying soundtrack - the first feature film score by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood - is considered a masterwork of dramatic tension.

The LCO have been working with Greenwood for many years now, and most recently contributed orchestra arrangements to the Radiohead album, A Moon Shaped Pool. They've also worked with influential US star Frank Ocean, Goldfrapp, Wolverhampton's Actress and more - and can currently be heard in cinemas performing the score for Michael Fassbender's Assassin's Creed.

They won the Ensemble category at the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards 2015.
