Filmreif
Leipziger Symphonieorchester conducted by Robbert van Steijn - Gewandhaus, Mendelssohn-Saal
Program Info: Film music with the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra
There is hardly anyone who doesn't know film music by John Williams: his melodies are in everyone's ears worldwide... But who knows that John Williams, like many film music composers before him, used a composition technique from the 19th century?

But what is this composer's trick that works equally in opera and film? To illustrate this, the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra breaks down e.g. B. the topic of MAKUSA ... , well, who knows?

Today's concert features music from the films “Pirates of the Caribbean” (Klaus Badelt / Hans Zimmer), “How to Train Your Dragon” (John Powell) and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” (James Newton Howard), among others.
