>As one of the greatest composers in film, John Williams has written some of the most memorable music in cinema for masterpieces such as Jaws, Jurassic Park and Star Wars.
>But despite winning five Oscars, the 93-year-old believes that, as an art form, film music pales in comparison to history’s great works.
>“I never liked film music very much,” he confessed in a rare interview for a forthcoming biography.
>He added: “Film music, however good it can be – and it usually isn’t, other than maybe an eight-minute stretch here and there … I just think the music isn’t there. That, what we think of as this precious great film music is … we’re remembering it in some kind of nostalgic way …
>“Just the idea that film music has the same place in the concert hall as the best music in the canon is a mistaken notion, I think.”
>He added: “A lot of [film music] is ephemeral. It’s certainly fragmentary and, until somebody reconstructs it, it isn’t anything that we can even consider as a concert piece.”
