Four trombones and a mandolin? Small but mighty soundtracks

Sound of Cinema

Available for over a year

Defying the convention of massive orchestral scores, Matthew Sweet looks at films that embrace the intimacy of chamber music including: the Syrian-inspired strings of Nainita Desai's For Sama score, The Third Man's iconic 1949 zither melody composed by Anton Karas, Clint Mansell's agonising quartet from Requiem for a Dream, and a surprising period drama score written for a trio by John Williams. To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask 麻豆社 Sounds to play Sound of Cinema".
