On Aug. 18 at 7:30 p.m., the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will present music from Oscar-winning scores.

This is the first opera for Mr. Goldenthal, best known for his work in film, notably his Oscar-winning score for "Frida."

That Oscar-winning score is mostly discreet and effective, but marred by slightly sentimental evocations of Jewish folk songs and laments featuring plush-toned violin solos by Itzhak Perlman.

It is a movie long on atmosphere, created in large measure by Michel Legrand's Oscar-winning score.

Real swords, too: catch Robin crossing blades with Sir Guy to the resounding strains of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Oscar-winning score.

Newman later reused the melody in his Oscar-winning score for the 1955 film Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.

John Barry composed the Oscar-winning score.

Best known for his lush, Oscar-winning score to the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, Vangelis was among the most successful and admired electronic composers of his era.

Dimitri Tiomkin's Oscar-winning score is grand.

And Mr. Tan's Oscar-winning score for the 2000 film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a knockout from start to finish: arresting, brutal, yet somehow charming.
