Today we’ll be paying tribute to the Cincinnati Pops late conductor Erich Kunzel. Starting in 1977, Erich Kunzel recorded 90 albums on the Telarc label with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra many of which were dedicated to film and TV music.  He won multiple awards for his work with the CPO and toured around the world guest conducting some of the greatest orchestral ensembles in the world. Erich Kunzel’s distinguished career was personified by his 2006 National Medal of Arts, presented by President and Mrs. Bush at a ceremony in the Oval Office at The White House in 2007. Erich Kunzel died on September 1, 2009, at the age of 74. He was battling cancer and died at his home in Maine.

For the next two hours, you will hear some of the finest film and TV music ever recorded as today we celebrate the life and career of conductor Erich Kunzel and his magnificent work with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.
