John Barry: John Barry Conducts His Greatest Movie Hits


There's nothing that John Barry touched (musically) that didn't reek of class. One of my all-time favourite composers who was born just up the road from Lenin For Beginners central. His skill as a composer was remarkable considering he quit formal education at 15, "I just quit. I hated it." He actually trained by correspondence course in composition, orchestration and harmony ("I've never taken an exam, and I'd probably flunk if I did."
