Carl Davis
American-born, classically-trained composer who moved to England in the early 1960s where he scored stage productions for Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop Company, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre before creating his first film scores for "The Bofors Gun" and "Praise Marx and Pass the Ammunition" in 1968. Best known for his lyrical score for "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (1981) and his original musical accompaniment for classic silent films (most notably the Kevin Brownlow restoration of Abel Gance's "Napoleon," the reconstructed 1925 "Ben Hur" and Erich von Stroheim's masterpiece "Greed" for Thames Television), Davis also has conducted his scores at theatrical presentations of silent films. In 1991 he collaborated with Paul McCartney on his "Liverpool Oratorio" and conducted the London and US premieres. Since 1987 Davis has also served as associate conductor of the London Philharmonic.
