...released an SACD of him conducting his music that I LOVE--I never refile it, it lives right next to my discplayer. #SACD 60433, 'The Film Music of Jerry Goldsmith'. He conducts the LSO in EMI's large Abbey Road studio; Philips recorded it for Telarc and it sounds FABULOUS in multichannel--natural, spacious, just like a real orchestra playing in real space.It starts with my fave, a short suite from 'Star Trek: TMP'; my 2nd fave is a maybe-3-minute suite from 'Air Force One' that starts 5-1/2 minutes into the 2nd track. Wait'll you hear those French horns in harmony!
Oh yea...it has one of those BIG, very-low-frequency bass drums that the British seem to love, and Jerry plays the hell out of it. BTW all the bass is left in the 5 channels; the LFE channel is empty.

- I agree. I love John Williams's film music too, but Goldsmith was the best. Telarc... - jeffreybehr 14:03:44 02/16/06 (0)
