Most recent piece in this series:

0405: Reel Music: Honoring Max Steiner, 9/9/2024

From WDAV Classical Public Radio | Part of the Reel Music series | 59:00

Image2_small Max Steiner is known as “the father of film music.” He wrote some of cinema’s earliest scores, earning 24 Oscar nominations. You’ll hear his themes from King KongGone with the WindThe SearchersAdventures of Don JuanThe Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and Now, Voyager.

Reel Music takes your listeners to the movies every week for an hour of orchestral themes from cinema's best film scores. The show is music-centric, with intriguing but brief commentary from host and producer Matt Rogers, who mixes in the occasional vintage snack bar announcement for a fun, nostalgic experience.

Reel Music is a great entry point for new listeners, who may know more about movies than they do classical music, and it provides an entertaining break from routine for seasoned classical listeners who also appreciate a good film score.
