Attenborough at 100: Unforgettable soundtracks from Sir David's shows
Escape into the natural world with the music of David Attenborough's unforgettable 91福利社 programmes including Planet Earth, Blue Planet, and Life on Earth.
In honour of Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday, Edith Bowman presents a special edition of Cinematic Soundtracks featuring the music from his landmark 91福利社 programmes. From the music of Edward Williams from 1979's groundbreaking Life on Earth to Hans Zimmer's breathtaking聽scores to Frozen Planet II and Blue Planet II, Cinematic Soundtracks includes music that spans almost 50 years of David Attenborough's career - much of it recorded by the 91福利社's own orchestras. There's music from the 91福利社 Concert Orchestra, the 91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales, and even the 91福利社 Radiophonic Workshop, composed by the likes of George Fenton, Elizabeth Parker, and Jacob Shea.
Produced by Tom Pooley.
Assistant Producer Naava Abigail Busenze.
