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.
Following the release of Spielberg's new film adaptation of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, Andrew picks out favourite musicals adapted for the big screen – with a particular focus on those connected to the festive season. Music from The Sound of Music by Richard Rodgers, La La Land by Justin Hurwitz, and Mary Poppins by the Sherman Brothers feature.
Saturday 18 December
Andrew features a whole host of favourite Christmas film soundtracks in the programme. Including music to warm the soul from Irving Berlin's White Christmas, Arthur Christmas scored by Harry Gregson-Williams, The Muppets Christmas Carol by Paul Williams and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Sunday 26 December
In a special three-hour edition of the programme, Andrew presents an extravaganza of Christmas family-favourites. There's festive cheer from the classic Miracle on 34th Street composed by Cyril Mockridge, Home Alone by John Williams, the Disney hit Frozen scored by Cristophe Beck, The Sound of Music by Richard Rodgers, and we have a glimpse of Hogwarts at Christmas with the score to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by John Williams.
