Bob Armbruster hosts this hour of movie-connected music. The keynote of Classics of the Silver Screen is orchestral movie music that is good listening in its own right. The films covered range from silent movie orchestral accompaniment scores like the ones Sergei Prokoviev wrote for Sergei Eisenstein to the blockbuster scores that John Williams wrote for George Lucas's "Star Wars" series. All the master movie score composers are on the show: Erich Korngold, Bernard Hermann, Enio Moricone, James Horner. Classics of The Silver Screen, Thursdays at 8:05, is the place to be for movie music of our time as well as the Golden Age.
