Here’s a glimpse of my soundtrack to Patrick Doyle’s “Henry V.” I had the booklet signed by Kenneth Branagh. At the time, Branagh had just been hired by Marvel to direct “Thor,” and I was hoping to talk him into casting Brian Blessed as Odin and Derek Jacobi as Loki. Alas, it was not to be… not that I ever thought it would be!

Enjoy selections from Branagh’s “Henry V,” alongside Doyle’s music for “As You Like It,” “Hamlet,” and “Much Ado About Nothing.”

Branagh meets the Bard on “Picture Perfect,” this Friday evening at 6:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
