Romão 2,274 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 2 hours ago, The Big Man said: Independence Day is my favourite film score, but I'm not sure if it's the greatest ever. I understand that. I would say the Goldsmith equivalent to your example would be something like The Mummy. Incredibly fun and entertaining score, to which I return very often, but that presents a clear example of a favorite not being perhaps one of the great works. But I do think Masada is one of Goldsmith's greatest works (perfectly served by the LP re-recording, though, as others have said).

It's why I don't like calling things "great". I can also agree with that. But sometimes, maybe not often, but sometimes, I think the personal favorite lines up with an all time great. In the case of Goldsmith, I think that applies to Masada, Alien and Poltergeist, but not with the Mummy and The Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"One of the all time greatest"? Ehhh it's nice enough, and I enjoy it a fair bit. Maybe it's just one of your all-time favourites. It has widely, for years, for decades, been considered one of Goldsmith’s greatest works. Composer Austin Wintory started a new podcast just four days ago, and it’s already got 3,400 plays on YouTube (who knows how many more plays if there’s an audio only version).

Marian Schedenig 8,198 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I wonder what Wintory will do next time. And if Troy Baker will be a regular guest. He mixed up Williams' pieces for Bernstein and Ozawa, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
