The excellent orchestral score for brand new BBC drama My Mother and Other Strangers was composed by Ivor Novello Award winning British television and film composer Natalie Holt and recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra in Studio Two.

Ahead of the next episode this Sunday, we took some time to talk to Natalie about her time recording here, which you can read in full below,

‘Recording at Abbey Road is every film composer’s dream. It’s just steeped in history - basically every great musical moment from the 1960s happened there. But it’s also acoustically and technically one of the best places in the world to record a film score - especially one with an orchestral sound like ‘My Mother and Other Strangers’. Having played at Abbey Road for many years as a session musician on orchestral scores for many films, there was something very fulfilling about coming back to this great studio as a composer and having friends and colleagues from my past playing with the London Metropolitan Orchestra, conducting, engineering and mixing my music.'

The next episode of My Mother and Other Strangers airs this Sunday at 9pm BST on BBC One.
