I enjoyed this and thought NB's relaxed style was perfect for the subject matter. Good that the programme gave some wannabee actors/singers a chance, and amusing that Neil was happy to strum away on some less-than-top-drawer pianos!

His Sound of Cinema programmes were judged excellent too (did he also do something good on Radio 3 at the time?). But, temperamentally, I … cannot …It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
I thought the first part was less fascinating than his previous two series ('music of the cinema' and 'sound of song'), perhaps because I'm a bit less interested in musicals. I do however think Neil Brand has a terrific presenting style and he certainly seems to be enjoying himself, and I will stick with the series, as long as there's not too much shouty vocals. He was on with Matthew Sweet a couple of times over the festives on 'Sound of Cinema'...'Game Changers'...thought he was an excellent addition to the mix. They're still available.Originally posted by ardcarp View Post

I enjoyed it, although the sound balance left a bit to be desired.There were some over the top peaks in the vocals followed by low speech level from Neil Brand. Usually I find in this type of production that the musical examples are too short, but this was not the case this time. I'm looking forward to the Bernstein era.Comment
