LMOInspector Morse
Inspector Morse was LMO’s first ever engagement in 1987 - leading to 13 years and 33 episodes of recording which included many excerpts of classical music as well as Barrington Pheloung’s highly effective incidental cues for the films.
Concert for George
LMO was engaged for the Concert for George tribute to George Harrison at the Royal Albert Hall, London in November 2002.
Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were joined on stage by Harrison’s guitarist son Dhani who bears an extraordinary resemblance to his late father at the height of Beatlemania in the 60’s. As McCartney said during the evening ‘It’s like the rest of us got old and George stayed young!’.
The concert, which marked the first anniversary of Harrison’s death, featured a string of Harrison hits including Here Comes The Sun, My Sweet Lord and Something.
Other stars taking part in the concert included music director Eric Clapton, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Joe Cocker, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, original Beatles producer Sir George Martin and former Monty Python members Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones.
LMO was conducted by another of Harrison’s close friends, Michael Kamen – who also wrote the song arrangements.
