HOLLYWOOD RHAPSODY – ROYAL ALBERT HALL – 2 HOURS DVD
Matthew Ford vocalist
Venera Gimadieva soprano
Jane Monheit vocalist
John Wilson Orchestra
John Wilson conductor
John Wilson and his orchestra return to the Proms in a celebration of the Hollywood film scores that Wilson describes as ïliterally unsungÍ and a medley of theme songs (featuring distinguished vocalists) from otherwise non-musical movies.
Connecticut-born child prodigy Alfred NewmanÍs ïStreet SceneÍ, from How to Marry a Millionaire, contrasts with the music of Jewish _migr_s Erich Korngold, Max Steiner and Franz Waxman, with suites from KorngoldÍs swashbuckling score for Robin Hood, SteinerÍs nostalgic music for Casablanca and WaxmanÍs brooding score for A Place in the Sun _ all of them Academy Award-winners _ making for a red-carpet event at the Royal Albert Hall.
