Whether it’s original film soundtracks or classical music put to powerful effect on the big screen, Classic FM invites you on a weekly journey through the finest film scores, every Saturday at 7pm with Andrew Collins.
Each week, we showcase a selection of film soundtracks, from the latest releases by the likes of Michael Giacchino, Thomas Newman or John Williams to historic scores by Shostakovich, Vaughan Williams and Korngold.
Every few months we’ll broadcast a video game music special, too, making us pretty much the only radio station in the UK that regularly plays this popular genre.
Andrew explores the movies that broke barriers, pioneered CGI, and put sheer scale front and centre while featuring the epic film scores that accompanied the on screen imagery. Max Steiner's score to Gone With the Wind features, alongside The Ten Commandments scored by Elmer Bernstein, having been the most expensive film ever made at that time. Andrew unpicks the visual mastery in Titanic and plays the score by James Horner, and there’s music to Insterstellar by Hans Zimmer.
