Citius! Altius! Fortius!

This week on “Picture Perfect,” to coincide with the Summer Games in Tokyo, we’ll get the blood pumping, with selections from Olympic opening ceremonies and television broadcasts.

Featured composers with include Leo Arnaud (a Ravel pupil, who worked on “The Wizard of Oz” and went on to write THE classic Olympic theme), Angelo Badalamenti (David Lynch’s composer of choice), Basil Poledouris (composer of “Conan the Barbarian” and “The Hunt for Red October”), and John Williams (‘nuff said).

In addition, there will be a suite from the Olympic documentary “16 Days of Glory,” by Lee Holdridge (recipient of seven Emmys and a Grammy),

We’ll be downing our Wheaties and going for the gold, on “Picture Perfect,” this Saturday evening at 6:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org!

FUN FACT: Today is also Arnaud’s birthday!
