Quote :

Eddi Fiegel explores the music of John Barry, drawing on a previously lost interview which gives a revealing insight into the British composer’s early film career and songwriting processes.

John Barry, who passed away last year, was best known for his scores for the early James Bond films, as well as Midnight Cowboy, Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves.

The winner of five Oscars, Barry was a private man - but in John Barry: The Lost Tapes Eddi Fiegal provides a revealing insight into his working life.

Sounds interesting. One for the iplayer when it comes around. Good find BB

5 minute sample:

Listened last night. Wasn't too bad, good to hear the man himself as it were speaking about his early days. Never really struck me until then just how his fortunes changed. A jazz musician or indeed simple musician and then suddenly, or so it seems, a film composer. Quite the man...indeed, like hearing about Caine and the faint impression therein of him.
