Of course, it also contains the unique recording of the Winter Games Fanfare. But I don't like the other arrangements, especially those for Star Wars. I don't understand why they all begin with a little prologue (often the Yoda's Theme). ??? On the overall, that's quite an uneven album. The play is very good, but some arrangements are too basic for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine yesterday. The re-recording is a treat for those who have wanted to hear the score with modern improved sonics and I find very little to quibble about the performance. The second disc with re-recorded suites from various Goldsmith scores is a bit of a hit and miss in terms of performance as I felt some of the versions recorded didn't quite capture the energy of the originals. The main attraction is the disc 1 but I have to admit the disc 2 forms a wonderful 1 hour+ Goldsmith concert. Hlao-roo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although especially arranged for concert setting, the suite feels to me a bit choppy as these thing sometimes do when done for concerts and taking the film cues as they are and putting them into a suite form, giving some extended cues but then there is a snippet of this and snippet of that in between and there are some sudden transitions where feel the arranger could have more smoothly passed from one piece to the next. Or perhaps it just takes a bit of time to get used to this sequencing for me as a listener. The short cue "Desert Burial" not found on the OST was a nice little inclusion. I also found that the choir is not as well balanced with the orchestra as on the OST. So while it is nice they made the effort it is not as stellar as it could be. Perhaps I am nitpicky as it is one of my favourite late JG scores and the original performance is pretty awesome. Jerry could mine gold even from projects he hated.

publicist 4,643 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The choir drowns the horns - it's deliberately mixed that way - and that doesn't suit JG's thematic writing at points. The suite also runs too long (it was made by a fan of the score). But there are some nice moments where you hear details Goldsmith buried, as in 'Camel Race'.

Listening to that now. It's spectacular. Playing it a second time now. There are a few spots where it feels odd (perhaps just because I'm too used to the original recording), but overall this might be a better performance than the original. It's intense.

I bought it for the album version of track 1. In the album version, Topol re-recorded some of his lines. For the 30th Anniversary CD, they took the film version.

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's a great Shore score, obviously meant to continue the LotR styled epic scoring for the video game (the trailers for it back in the day were rather heavy on LotR film influence, shot for shot almost) but luckily the composer steers away from aping his masterpiece and crafts a nuanced and varied musical tonepoem, which while not on LotR level of grand leitmotifs offers a lot to explore.
