Music review: RSNO - The Music of John Williams, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

Not every film composer’s music warrants a concert programme all of its own, but John Williams is undoubtedly one of them. More than most – he’s on a par with Herrmann and Korngold – his scores have a life of their own. Richard Kaufman, the Hollywood conductor who has worked with the best in the business, and who directed this all-Williams programme with the RSNO, offered this thought from the mouth of Steven Spielberg: “John’s music becomes a character in the film.”
