As everyone knows, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been awarding its famous gold statuettes to outstanding figures in Film at the annual Oscars ceremony since 1929. Needless to say, these include the composers whose music caused a stir in darkened auditoria down the decades as the perfect accompaniment to great films. The celebrated film critic Yannis Zoumboulakis has selected ten famous film scores, one for each decade in the Oscars' history, which we can hear with fresh ears and enjoy anew in inspired performances by the world's leading film music conductor, Frank Strobel.
