On today’s episode, we are finally presenting our TOP 20 FAVOURITE SCORES OF 2016 program.
This first part of our countdown celebrates selections 20 through to 11 featuring the music of Alexandre Desplat, Chad Seiter, Abel Korzeniowski, Ramin Djawadi, Austin Wintory, Rob Simonsen, James Newton Howard, Naoki Sato, Ye Xiaogang, Chad Cannon and Dario Marianelli. This is a hefty 3-hour show but it’s jam-packed with so much great music I’m sure you won’t mind the running length.
We’ll have part two for you near the end of the week.
While I’m sure your personal best of 2016 list is very different than mine, I never expect anyone’s favourites to mirror my own, I offer you a chance to put me in my place. Please feel free to contact me or write in the comments section below with scores that I might have left off the list.
With that, enjoy the countdown!
