JERRY GOLDSMITH

Great to see that you like JP too, Steven. We have SOME common ground.

I adore all of them and could live in the JP universe for the rest of my life.

No, that Thor would still love them if was nothing to do with Dinosaurs

I guess you didn't read much of that post?

Sorry Thunderer but I still can't get my head around your idea that without Dinosaurs but replaced with some other menace these films would still float your boat.

Ah, that. Yeah, it has to do with a certain approach to filmmaking rather than the actual creatures in it. Never been much of a dinosaur buff.

This emoticon looks like Nessie.

It won't let me see the first one?

The second one is more like it though without the knock-knees please.

Most definitely, yes.

I think that, perhaps, most people who have Poltergeist II are happy with what's been released already?

I'm a "cultist" in this case for sure!

A retrospective review of Medicine Man:

Well in my books it's 4 1/2 rather than 3 1/2. But I still have to listen to the complete score. The CD will arrive here in the course of the week ahead.

Great score, horrible movie. As is the Goldsmith way I guess. The opening track is so beautiful that when I visited the Monterey Bay aquarium it kept popping up in my head, I knew then that I would use it in my video montage of fish tank footage.

Haha, so did I.

Now THIS is an EXCELLENT RELEASE! I'll be getting me this for Crimbo.



Order now and shipping starts the week of December 16th.

QB VII (2CD / complete) by Jerry Goldsmith

Tadlow Music and Prometheus Records proudly announce the next volume in their series of re-recorded classic scores by legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith. QB VII (1974), based on the bestseller of the same name by Leon Uris, was a fictionalized account of the author’s experience when he was sued for libel over a statement he made in his earlier novel Exodus. The award-winning miniseries (the first of its kind made by an American television network) starred Ben Gazzara, Anthony Hopkins, Leslie Caron, Dan O’Herlihy, Anthony Quayle, Robert Stephens, Lee Remick, Juliet Mills, Anthony Andrews, Jack Hawkins and John Gielgud.

Goldsmith’s score is both epic and intimate, with multiple themes representing the story’s diverse characters and settings. It features two love themes, a memorable mixed-meter fanfare, contrasting motifs for the story’s two antagonists, and colorful passages for scenes set in Kuwait. Most remarkable, however, is the overwhelmingly haunting music for choir and orchestra Goldsmith composed to represent the horrors of the Holocaust. The score culminates in the choral/orchestral “A Kaddish for the Six Million” – a lament for the victims of the Holocaust that might well be the most emotional piece Goldsmith ever wrote.

Previously represented only by a disc of highlights conducted by the composer (and a short suite released on Tadlow Records), QB VII appears here in all its glory – nearly 95 minutes of unforgettable Goldsmith. Reconstructed and orchestrated by Aaron Purvis, the complete score is gloriously performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus (165 musicians in all) under the experienced and expressive baton of Maestro Nic Raine. Produced by James Fitzpatrick for Luc Van de Ven’s Prometheus Records, QB VII includes a 16-page booklet with informative notes by Fitzpatrick and Frank K. DeWald.
