Description

In June 2021, for TALKING SOUNDTRACKS, Jason Drury talked to the four-time Emmy nominated journalist, writer, and producer of over 200 documentaries about music and cinema, Steven C Smith, about his book MUSIC BY MAX STEINER: THE EPIC LIFE OF HOLLYWOOD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL COMPOSER.

In May 2022, Jason had the opportunity to talk to Steven again about his first book, published in 1991, about another pioneering and influential composer in the history of film music, A Heart at Fire's Center: The Life and Music of Bernard Herrmann.

In part one of this in-depth two-part series, Smtih discusses how the book came to be and dives into Bernard Herrmann's varied and occasionally contentious musical career including details on how he began his career in radio, his encounter with and collaboration with Orson Welles, and the start of his film music career.

During both parts of the show, you will also be hearing plenty of the music of Bernard Herrmann's, at times original recordings and at times re-recordings, all of which showcase the musical genius of one of the finest composers to ever write for the silver screen.

Enjoy.
