The Flagship Show: Top 25 Scores of the 21st Century - Episode 1 - Honourable Mentions

Cinematic Sound Radio Podcast

About

Today’s episode is all about personal favourites. Over the next seven episodes of THE FLAGSHIP SHOW, I’ll be counting down my  TOP 25 SCORES OF THE 21st CENTURY.  These are the soundtracks that have resonated with me the most, scores that I believe deserve a special place in any discussion about the best music of the last quarter-century. While my list may not align with everyone’s tastes, it’s a reflection of the music that has left a lasting impression on me.



In this special series, you’ll hear a mix of fan-favourite classics and perhaps a few surprises along the way. These are the scores that have stuck with me over the years, whether for their emotional depth, unforgettable themes, or the way they perfectly enhanced the films they were written for. I invite you to join me as we celebrate the music that has inspired and moved me personally. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this journey through 25 years of remarkable film music.



In this opening episode, you'll hear three honourable mentions from composers John Williams, Frederic Talgorn and Alexandre Desplat. Part two will be available later in the week.
