Gaming bigwigs told Classic FM about how orchestras and games developers need to work more closely together.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Alastair Lindsay and video game music composer James Hannigan were at the Association of British Orchestras conference to discuss the still-emerging world of orchestral game music.
