- live film music concerts from the BBC orchestras presented by film critic Mark Kermode
- an exclusive interview with John Williams on Composer of the Week

Many years ago I met a girl named Gina who went out with a mate of mine, the first time she came to my house she noticed all my soundtracks, she mentioned how it was a shame I'd never met her ex-boyfriend Mark as he was a massive film score fan.
Though it's been a long time since she and my mate split up I'm still friends with Gina but it was only recently that she told me the soundtrack fan ex-boyfriend was Mark Kermode, he was unknown to the public while she was with him.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

First episode of The Sound of Cinema is on BBC-4 on Thursday, including interviews with MArtin Scorsese and Hans Zimmer.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03b45h4
The Big Score
Episode 1 of 3
DURATION: 1 HOUR
In a series celebrating the art of the cinema soundtrack, Neil Brand explores the work of the great movie composers and demonstrates their techniques.
Neil begins by looking at how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it's still going strong today. He traces how, in the 1930s, European-born composers such as Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang Korngold brought their Viennese training to play in stirring, romantic scores for Hollywood masterpieces like King Kong and The Adventures of Robin Hood. But it took a home-grown American talent, Bernard Herrmann, to bring a darker, more modern sound to some of cinema's finest films with his scores for Citizen Kane, Psycho and Taxi Driver.
Among those Neil meets are leading film-makers and composers who discuss their work, including Martin Scorsese and Hans Zimmer, composer of blockbusters like Gladiator and Inception. -

It's weird but seeing something when it is aired is somehow different fr seeing it later.
I can have a film on DVD that I can watch anytime but don't. But if it's on TV one night it turns into an event and I make time to watch it.

I thought the first episode of Sound of Cinema was brilliant. Neil Brand - who I'd never heard of! - was incredibly perceptive and intelligent in his analysis. The programme was only an hour long but he seemed to bring a surprising depth to what essentially amounted to a history of the orchestral film score.
After a brief introduction when he looked at John Barry's The Ipcress File, he went through and analysed King Kong (Steiner), The Adventures of Robin Hood (Korngold), Double Indemnity (Rozsa), Citizen Kane, Vertigo and Taxi Driver (Herrmann) and Gladiator and Inception (Zimmer), with a very brief look at Star Wars (Williams) to bridge the chronological gap. His explanation of how Rozsa and Herrmann in particular subconsciously manipulated the audience was brilliant. -

Yes, it was a great first part of this documentary. I only caught up with it on iPlayer this afternoon - glad I did.
And, as you James, I'd never heard of Neil Brand up to this programme. And looking through his imdb.com list, I am not surprised. But he seems to be quite involved with silent films at the National Film Theatre.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Brand
He's a great advert for film music on TV: easy to listen to, seems to know - and love - the subject (his genuine reaction to seeing Korngold's baton and playing the organ in the theatre (no smutty comments please) was nice to see) and is really quite engaging.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

He (Neil) continued his enthusiasm during the "filmmusic proms", which was very good (for the most part - I though STID and ID4 were a little messy, but the rest was outstanding). Worth catching up with, if you've not seen it yet.
On a side note, it's good to hear that David Arnold said a lot of the same things (as Neil did) on his Radio 6 show. I mean... you can't really argue with history, but you can argue with the interpretation of it. So I believe it to be a good thing that they're reached similar conclusion (or draw from the same research... whatever). So far, the season seems quite coherent is all I'm saying.
