  • Loving and Comprehensive

    Not merely an examination of JW’s music and career, the interviews with the studio musicians who have participated in so many of the classic film music recordings of the past half-century provide a fascinating window into an exclusive part of the music industry

  • Delightful!!!

    I appreciate what you all are doing in and with this podcast immensely. Being a child of the 70s I feel as though I’ve literally grown up with John Williams’ music, so to be able to delve into the subject matter in such detail is so wonderful.

    Excellent podcast - I never miss an episode! I find the interviews with the studio musicians and other composers to be particularly engaging. It would be great to hear from a percussionist!

  • Great podcast!

    My interest for the film scores of John Williams brought me to this great podcast, but thanks to host Maurizio Caschetto’s ongoing conversations with a broad list of ‘L.A. Studio Legends’, I also got unique insights in the work and history of the L.A. studio orchestra community and a better understanding of the film scoring business and work of the musicians.
