(1906-73)
The name Benjamin Frankel is not well known, though most people will have heard his music - he wrote scores for over 100 films including Curse of the Werewolf and Battle of the Bulge. Frankel also wrote a large and rich body of music for the concert platform. In this week's programmes, Chris de Souza explores both sides of the composer's musical personality.
