"Young Portuguese composer Miguel
d’Oliveira impressed greatly in the documentary
category with his score for BATTLE OF BRITAIN, a
BBC documentary which looked at the famous World
Ward II air conflict with new perspective;
d’Oliveira’s music channelled the best of Ron
Goodwin-style British heroism and

it through modern techniques to great effect"
