Russian-born Dimitri Tiomkin is one of Hollywood's most highly regarded composers. Receiving a staggering 22 Oscar nominations, he is most well-known for his soundtracks to Westerns and Hitchcock movies, including High Noon, The Alamo, Rawhide and Dial M for Murder. He was also a gifted songwriter, writing standards such as the theme from

Wild is the Wind.

‘Tiomkin’s music evokes his era: there’s little like it to put you straight back into 1950s America … his [Kaufman’s] enthusiasm is virulently infectious to anyone around him … a truly outstanding performance from London Voices’

Bachtrack.com, concert review

‘‘Do Not Forsake Me’ from High Noon … was evocatively rendered by Andrew Playfoot … Throughout, the LSO augmented by a jazz combo, played this music stylishly and enthusiastically’

Seen and Heard International, concert review

‘Dimitri Tiomkin was one of the most accomplished, garlanded and best-loved film music composers ever to have worked in Hollywood … a really superb concert … The LSO is an ensemble of such top individuals and trombonist Katy Jones brought this same singing tone to the subsequent suite from The Old Man And The Sea. There was more fine playing from the leader and from assorted members of the percussion department’
