- Comment [quote][b]FalkirkBairn wrote[/b] Ferocious and inventive. And, what I particularly like, is that his use of the orchestra can be so sparing but achieve such a lot. Take, for example, (a score just plucked out of the air) THE OMEN (which I watched again the other week) hasn't the largest orchestra ...

- Comment Today’s Goldsmith: [b]SMALL SOLDIERS - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] I was originally going to go with the 31 minute original score release, but since I saw someone on a message board calling the DeLuxe Varese Sarabande edition a “revelation”, I decided I didn’t want to miss out. And given how ...

- Comment Also: [b]THE BLUE MAX - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] Listened to the 51 minutes Intended Final Score from the LaLaLand release. From back when Jerry Goldsmith still wrote for only old fashioned orchestra, no electronics, this exhilarating classic is full of sturm und drang, while Jerry weaves his themes ...

- Comment Today’s Goldsmith: [b]RUDY - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] Now I know this one has quite a reputation, ending usually quite high on Best Of Goldsmith lists, which (I’m guessing) is because of the rousing Feel Good Moments. Which is precisely why I never made an effort to seek this one out, as ...

- Comment Today’s Goldsmith: [b]TIMELINE - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] When this first came out back in 2004 I was a big fan of Brian Tyler’s version, the fresh new sound from the up-and-coming composer, which may have clouded my judgement of Goldsmith’s approach a bit. I didn’t like the kazoo-like sounds ...

If only to better differentiate all the themes you mention, which I didn’t immediately all identify yet on my first full listen. And funny what you say about the ...

- Comment Since I consider Jerry Goldsmith a big black hole in my score-knowledge, I decided to finally sit down and listen to much of his work from start to finish. I mean, I’m currently only superficially familiair with his scores. I know his major titles, and of them I mostly know the highlight tracks. ...

- Comment Yeah, I could imagine Beltrami felt he had done all he could with the Scream franchise, with yet another one not adding much challenge for him any more. Also, I just watched Scream 4 and found his score to be weirdly spotted at times, especially in the first half too much underscoring the comedy, ...
