A reader’s letter this week pointed out the indebtedness of film scores to classical music. “Film composers may be awarded ‘best original score’ at the Oscars,” wrote Ian France, “but their art is always a synthesis of existing styles.” He singled out the great Bernard Herrmann, for his various homages to Jules Massenet and Richard Strauss (in Citizen Kane); the Bartók-esque rhythms of those diabolical strings in Psycho; and the striking resemblance of the love theme in Vertigo to Wagner’s Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde.
Leo, who has performed with stars like Van Morrison, Paul Weller and Jerry Lee Lewis, says launching a DIY station is easy.
“I paid for a licence to play the songs and a website, lgradio.online, and that was it,” he says. “I’ve got a laptop, a shed full of music and a microphone. That’s all I need.”
He also has vintage recordings of unique interviews his father Benny, once the Sunday Express radio reviewer, did with stars like Tony Bennett and Paul McCartney.
The idea was born from Lockdown. “Friends asked me to do them playlists,” Leo recalls. “So I did, but then they came back and asked if I could add details like I did on the radio, tell them the stories behind the songs. That was how LG Radio began.

Christopher Plummer, the Academy Award-winning actor who starred in films including
The
All the Money in the World, and
Beginners, has died at the age of 91. The Canadian actor died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Connecticut, his family confirmed.
“Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humor and the music of words,” Lou Pitt, his longtime friend and manager of 46 years, said in a statement. “He was a National Treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. He will forever be with us.”
