AnalogPlanet Radio

Today’s radio show is all about original soundtrack albums. The wide ranging musical choices includes westerns, science fiction, Blaxploitation and film classics beginning with Max Steiner’s “Gone With the Wind” produced as a suite by George Korngold, son of composer Eric Wolfgang Korngold.

The show opens with the familiar “Tara’s Theme” from “Gone With the Wind” from one of the dozen or so spectacular sounding soundtrack suite recordings RCA released in the early 1970s with Charles Gerhardt conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Decca Records’ legendary engineer K.E. (Kenneth) Wilkinson recorded the sessions at famed Walthamstow Town Hall.

The show ends with “The Bride of Frankenstein”, a selection from another record in the series, Sunset Boulevard, the Classic Film Scores of Franz Waxman. In between, the set ranges far and wide. I think you’ll enjoy the show!
