Thematic splendour no more

Never mind Xmas. It's been quite a couple of weeks for clearing the "list of people still alive" from our "Dead or Alive" list. In the past few days alone Kenneth Kendall, Jack Klugman, Charles Durning and Gerry Anderson have died - and Richard Rodney Bennett too...

Here's the musical moment for which perhaps the latter will most be remembered - the score for the classic Murder on the Orient Express:

Richard Rodney Bennett - Murder on the Orient Express

Sir Richard Rodney Bennett (29th March 1936 - 24th December 2012). RIP.
