His collection of awards includes Grammys, Oscars (four in total for film scores including My Fair Lady and Gigi), the Austrian and German Cross of Merit, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the LSO and a British Knighthood.

This series is written by Russell Davies and includes contributions from Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine, Denis Wick, John Ammonds, David Finck, Richard Sherman and Sir Tom Stoppard.
