With Tommy Pearson.

Today, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Barry Wordsworth explore music from some great European films. Including Prokofiev's music for the famous Eisenstein epic Alexander Nevsky, Honegger's music for Napoleon and Shostakovich's score for The Gadfly. Plus Nino Rota's evocative score for Fellini's La Strada, the haunting harmonica music from Ennio Morricone's score for Once upon a Time in the West, and two of Maurice Jarre's most famous scores for David Lean films - Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago.
