Hardly a musical genre reaches as many enthusiastic listeners as good film music. Where else do contemporary compositions enjoy such widespread popularity with the old and the young alike within so little time? Many a work from centuries ago has suddenly found new public interest after it was put under the best scene in a stirring movie. The popularity of good film music is a phenomenon- and simply put: its fun.

Howard Griffiths and the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt are known for presenting offbeat ideas on stage and in their recordings, alongside their top-level classical programmes.
