Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Was he still alive, Jerry Goldsmith would have turned 79 today.A composer that always experimented with new trends, but remained true to himself, he is surelly missed by all that enjoy good music.In remembering this extraordinary composer, I'll now play a few of his themes and score, starting with a favorite of mine, The Russia House.
