In this episode of 'Listening in', I analyse John Williams' monumental and beautiful score for Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban, which I consider the best score in the series. Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, this film marks a departure from the first two instalments towards a more naturalistic, realistic cinematic world. Williams' score matches this shift in approach by using longer, more expansive motifs that serve the action, instead of just accompanying it.
