It might not be the easiest one for someone really trying to latch on to Goldsmith to enjoy. There are better starting points, but I certainly agree. Planet of the Apes is probably one of my favourite Goldsmith scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 I first saw POTA on TV in the 80s when I was a kid, the music stuck out to me then. It's easily Jerry's best score, of the ones I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I mean listen to the Raisuli theme at 0:23 here! Damn. A better theme has rarely been written for the movies. So full of passion, majesty and grandeur. You have yourself a great story even if you just play this theme over black screen.

gkgyver 1,646 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Listening to the Star Trek scores, you could easily take them as just good Star Trek scores if you don't know that Goldsmith actually came up with the iconic theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what soundtracks of Jerry's would you recommend I add to my collection?

He had a big post-death honeymoon period that lasted years where so many of his scores received lavish expanded treatments and re-releases, but when newer and younger members here list their favourite composers, he's more conspicuously absent in the conversation than he was about a decade ago. Is he now just stepping back into the status that North, Mancini, Herrmann, Rosza, etc now occupy? Well liked enough but not enough people care anymore sort of thing? .
