Original album now available in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. Enjoyable new presentation with details not as prevalent in the previous release, but I wait for the full score presentation that we all hope to get one day. Check out the usual Digital platforms for download or streaming.

This is a nice piece on JG’s Hollywood Bowl 2 night concert appearance from 2001. Originally published in Soundtrack and written by Rudy Koppl.

Interesting biography on Steven Spielberg, which has a number of Goldsmith mentions and comments from the composer. Including a comment on being considered to score the classic Jaws!

Many thanks to Thierry Schreurs for this info.

Another Goldsmith from Varese! Intrigued by the film versions and alternates. I didn’t play this one much at the time of release. The Gershwin NY link was fun and the odd highlight was enjoyable but it did fizzle out. The film lacked the urgency and drama, even Pacino’s over the top pontificating didn’t really work. But we come back to the music and playing this score recently you appreciate it a lot more. So I look forward to this one to reevaluate. Thank you Varese.
