2. The Best of Bond
The name’s Bond – James Bond. When it comes to the high life, nobody does it better. The BSO puts on its tux, pours itself a Martini and toasts the superstar spy with some of the sassiest signature tunes in cinematic history. They say diamonds are forever, and as the Orchestra celebrates seven decades of gadgets and super villains we see that Bond tunes are every bit as enduring and brilliant.
