‘If it weren’t for the movies,’ multi Oscar-winning composer John Williams commented recently, ‘nobody would be able to write this kind of music any more’ -- by which he meant the spectacular, colourful, evocative and defiantly ‘now’ feeling film scores written since the emergence of full-colour pictures and penetrating stereo sound. From Williams’ own supercharged soundscape for ‘Star Wars’ to the high-jinks, chases and jokes of John Powell’s music for Wallace and Gromit’s caper ‘Chicken Run’, this concert unleashes the power of the film score in all its orchestral brilliance.
