May 22, 2016 · One of my personal goals was to reunite John Barry into the James Bond series. There was a lot of old history between Barry and the Bond folks and I felt I might be helpful in bringing a fresh approach into it without being burdened by all the prior baggage.

- Zulu (1964) Barry used the bold rhythms of real Zulu war chants to bring a majestic, forbidding quality to his sparing score for this suspenseful true story of courage on both sides of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift.
- Goldfinger (1964) Reputedly Barry’s favourite of his own soundtracks, his second full 007 score gleams with brassy panache and features some of his most striking background music, like the vivacious ‘Into Miami’, as well as the Shirley Bassey hit that remains for many the archetypal Bond theme song.
- The Ipcress File (1965) For espionage more gloomy than glamorous, Barry concocted a modern, sardonic sound inspired by the famous Anton Karas score for The Third Man (1949), which was ideal for the bleak world of Len Deighton’s spy Harry Palmer.

But Barry’s first love had always been classical music, not jazz – as he revealed on Desert Island Discs in 1999, on which he stuck strictly to the classics, picking symphonic works by Stravinsky, Beethoven, Dvorak Mahler, Shostakovich, Bruckner, Sibelius and Rachmaninov.
