BBC Radio 3 - Saturday Classics, Sound of Cinema: Terence Stamp

Terence Stamp presents his favourite music and film soundtracks that have influenced him.

Actor Terence Stamp presents his favourite music and soundtracks from films that have influenced him. Including Alfred Newman, Delibes, Borodin, Rodrigo, Jimi Hendrix and kd Lang.

The iconic English actor Terence Stamp was introduced to classical music during the 1960s by his friend Michael Caine. But his musical influences stem from his East End childhood, films that he saw and an early trip with his aunt to see Bizet's Carmen at Sadlers Wells. The result is that he is a passionate lover of classical music. In this special "Sound of Cinema" edition of Saturday Classics he presents two hours of his favourite music including works by the film composer Alfred Newman, by Delibes, Borodin, Rodrigo. Dick Barton makes an appearance, as do Jimi Hendrix and KD Lang, all linked one way or another, to Terence Stamp's distinguished life and career.

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.
