9am
A selection of music including '5 reasons to love... the film scores of Hollywood's 茅migr茅 composers'. Hollywood provided a refuge for many European composers from the seismic events that shook Europe in the years leading up to the Second World War, and a handful of them made a living writing film music for the studios there. Throughout the week Sarah explores classic scores by composers including Miklos Rozsa, Max Steiner and Erich Korngold.
