Mark Kermode, star of BBC Radio 5live's Kermode and Mayo's Film Review and newly-announced film critic of the Observer, hosts an all-American evening of classic film scores. Featuring blockbusters from seven decades of movie music, from the Wild West to psychological thriller, comedy-drama, action fantasy, film noir and gritty crime drama. Martin Roscoe is the soloist in the Spellbound Concerto, written by Hungarian emigre composer Miklos Rozsa, his single collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock. It also features the eerie sound of the experimental electronic instrument, the theremin, which became a prominent feature of many 1950s sci-fis.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
