Summary
Michael Seal conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall in a programme of John Williams’s film scores, presented by Zeb Soanes.
Why it's fantastic
John Williams created a modern mythology through these scores, turning the cinema screen into a vast symphonic playground. Hearing the full power of a live orchestra navigate the jagged rhythms of the Duel of the Fates is a visceral experience that a home speaker system simply cannot replicate.
