John Williams interview coming on UK radio

Film Score Daily reports that composer John Williams will be interviewed on UK radio station Classic FM, airing Monday 27 August between 8 and 10 pm (BST):

We're really looking forward to Monday's interview, what can we expect?

Well, JW doesn't do many long career interviews as you know and I had an hour and a quarter with him, which is very unusual. But where do you start with this extraordinary career? Navigating through is a fruitless task, so I decided to talk about as many things as possible and try to avoid all the same stories (although that is quite difficult!). We talked a lot about his father - the original Johnny Williams - and how his career led to JW's career; about his early life as a session pianist and orchestrator (particularly on his playing on To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Apartment and Some Like It Hot; working with Hitchcock; and then many films - Fiddler on the Roof, Jaws, Close Encounters, Superman, Raiders, ET, Tin-Tin, War Horse, Harry Potter, and working on Schindler's List and Jurassic Park at the same time. We even had time to talk a bit about Star Wars. We also talked about his views on film scoring today, the music he listens to at home, composers he admires, and whether he plans to retire.

You can listen live via http://www.classicfm.com at 8 pm BST.
