Hollywood in Vienna

Synopsis

In this edition of Hollywood in Vienna the Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna and Hollywood’s renowned conductor David Newman takes us to the mysterious world of crime, where we encounter exciting characters of great movie classics. Starting off with Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, we experience the breathtaking suspense of Alfred Hitchcock (Spellbound, Psycho) and then witness the Third Man, hiding in the darkness of Vienna’s sewer system. Accompanied by Ennio Morricone’s music from The Untouchables, we meet Chicago’s great Al Capone and Nino Rota introduces us to the powerful Mafia boss of the Corleone family – The Godfather. After heading to America’s Wild West we are approached by a mysterious lone gunman in a desolate ghost town (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly). Later we experience erotic obsessive moments with Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack to Basic Instinct and Hans Zimmer’s music for Inception takes us to the mysterious world of unconsciousness and shared dreamings. And we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond series with the captivating Bond music by David Arnold.
