Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Pegg is a fellow geek who has, bless him, the air of not quite being able to believe his luck. Spaced, the 'Three Cornettos Trilogy', Paul, NuTrek ... all hugely entertaining (as is 'Nerd Do Well', his autobiography).Good luck to him, say I.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Jerry expressed some very frank opinions about some of his fellow composers. JW, Elmer Bernstein, maybe Herrmann too. Criticizing not so much their music, but other things. It's the kind of thing that might be hard to read for fanboys, but it's the frank and informed opinion of a composer of a certain age of people that he has known for decades.I recall Jerry not getting why John got involved with the Boston Pops if I recall correctly. Calling him a brilliant composer, but didnt get why he needed to be such a public persona.The book was scuttled when certain people in the industry got wind of it. Apparently Lukas Kendall informed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 That's a shame that Kendall kiss-assed in that way. And is that it? Jerry didn't like Johnny doing his summer concerts? Miserable bitter old git! Not sure what's so "frank" about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Well it's frank in that Jerry had enormous respect and admiration for JW as an artist, but there were things about him that he didnt agree with. Like so many of us who have certain opinions of co-workers.But yeah Jerry did clearly suffer from miserable old, slightly misunderstood artist syndrome, like John Barry and Hermann.it would have been a cracking read though. Unlike a JW autobio, which would not have a single controversial thing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Jerry expressed some very frank opinions about some of his fellow composers. JW, Elmer Bernstein, maybe Herrmann too. Criticizing not so much their music, but other things. It's the kind of thing that might be hard to read for fanboys, but it's the frank and informed opinion of a composer of a certain age of people that he has known for decades.I recall Jerry not getting why John got involved with the Boston Pops if I recall correctly. Calling him a brilliant composer, but didnt get why he needed to be such a public persona.The book was scuttled when certain people in the industry got wind of it. Apparently Lukas Kendall informed them.Goldsmith might have mentioned the Pops, but what I recall was he complaining about the then recent "Rose Parade" thing, with Williams arranging and conducting a group of bands on the National Anthem. He said something like that all that was bellow Williams own dignity.There was also a quote or interview with Alex North's widow where Williams was compared to Goldsmith as a lesser composer.Either one agrees or not with those statements, the way they were presented sounded more like coming from someone jealous of a colleagues success than anything else.I think other composers and musicians had something said about them, but honestly, only recall those two examples and the way the whole thing sounded to me.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Definitely jealousy. Objectively. I mean, Goldsmith was good, but... Williams ran circles around him. Famously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Williams only ran circles around him in the success department, and that mainly proves that he is more easily digestible by the public not that he writes better music. As FILM composer (not so much of absolute music), Goldsmith easily outran Williams, with exceptions that prove the rule.I halfway agree with Miguel, though i doubt that Goldsmith is the only one saying that only that he got published. I once talked to a orchestra player from the LSO who had one or two things to say about James Horner on whose scores he often would play and believe me, all the gushing you hear about these composers in public become very relative when you hear the behind-the-scenes gossip.
