Standard checkup, happens when you are almost in your 50's.

My pictures while examining those sheets.  Was such a thrill to hold the original, hand written full scores!

The console versions of the CE have the soundtrack in their own jewel case. Still awaiting mine.
 

It's common knowledge that Goldsmith was a chromogen not unlike Bernard Herrmann.  Marco Beltrami said that Goldsmith had a chip on his shoulder that he never found his Spielberg or Lucas which I thought was a dig at JW.  This sort of stuff isn't really that big a deal because it's so common.  We tend to compare ourselves to our peers rather than to ourselves and at the top levels like these two were, it can be fiercely competitive but doesn't mean that much.  It's sort of just an emotional response but if given a moment to think more clearly on it, I think Goldsmith would refine his criticism to more of a backhanded compliment.  When JG died, his daughter published online about 50 pages of a bio she was writing about her dad.  I think the book was either never completed or the project fell through, but I read it and she quoted JG commenting on many of his contemporaries.  Again, it wasn't personal, just chromogeny comments when comparing himself to others feeling he didn't get an award someone else did for something he felt was inferior, type of thing.  So what.  Saying it doesn't make it true and isn't insightful to what he even really means.

That's not Williams's quote. His quote went through "All unhappy". The rest of the stuff you added was the article's author putting his own spin on it which I think is REALLY a stretch (there is ZERO evidence to suggest Goldsmith was anything other than happy composing film music; his unhappiness came from elsewhere), a disappointing part of an otherwise good piece.

I've attended some of these and recall some real gems.  LA Phil is very, very supportive of young, unproven composers.  Was it the 100th anniversary year included 100 commissions, it was a few years ago so can't remember what the celebration was.  It's not unusual for a program with Dvorak to be paired with a world premiere and I don't think I've heard a failure.  Some have been outstanding and almost always by composers I've not encountered before, and I am an adventurous listener.
