The game’s afoot! It’s an afternoon of mystery and imagination.

This week on “Picture Perfect,” the focus will be on films inspired by the world’s greatest detective, including “Sherlock Holmes” (2009), with music by Hans Zimmer, “The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes” (1970), with music by Miklos Rozsa, “Without a Clue” (1988), with music by Henry Mancini, and “Young Sherlock Holmes” (1985), with music by Bruce Broughton. That’s all coming up at 6:00 EDT.

To get you in the mood, I’ll be playing Rozsa’s Violin Concerto in the 4:00 hour, a work director Billy Wilder listened to incessantly while writing his screenplay for “The Private Life” and upon which he requested the composer base his film score.

Then in the 5:00 hour, we’ll have the Sherlock Holmes ballet, in all-but-name, “The Great Detective,” by English composer Richard Arnell.

In the words of Holmes himself, “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” Join me for an afternoon of improbably good music, from 4 to 7:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
