Very proud to say I was one of the singers on Carol Anne’s Theme in Poltergeist. What a joy this brilliant man was to work with. Thank you for every note and Rest In Peace, sir. You are missed.
thats amazing, could you share some more of your experience? his music brings me to tears sometimes
Yes….lol. On a break I talked to him to tell him how much I loved his score for Alien, how he really captured the emptiness and mystery of deep space. He smiled, thanked me and proceeded to tell me it was not a happy experience for him, that (director) Ridley Scott had been difficult. Also he absolutely did not like the fact that Scott replaced his music for the scene where Ripley blows the alien out of the shuttle. As she gazes out the window at her victory the music being played is part of Howard Hanson’s Symphony #2, the Romantic. I heard on my local classical radio station one day that Hanson was none too pleased either. So Ridley Scott managed to offend two brilliant composers….lol. Also on the day of the Poltergeist session, megastar director Steven Spielberg came into the studio dressed like a baseball bum…faded jeans, T shirt and baseball cap. He was great and we all loved seeing him. He really liked that we ladies could sound so much like kids so they didn’t have to do another session. I would have loved to have been able to express to him what a huge fan I was of his work but he wasn’t there too long.
Wow Diane! Amazing... Great memories of 1982, and Goldsmith was so busy that year! Poltergeist, First Blood, Secret of NIHM, Inchon... All great and really classics. In Secret of NIHM theres some choirs!
@@dianalee3059 Thanks for sharing these memories. I always thought it was a children choir singing Carol-Anne's theme, so good job :)
The thing about JG is he constantly pushed the envelope. He could write stuff that was violently aggressive or very peaceful. Such range and intellect.
I've never seen this, thanks for the upload. Every time I watch one of todays rotten hollywood film I keep asking myself: "What Would Goldsmith Have Done."
God I miss Jerry Goldsmith.
and to think just 15 or so years after this interview, Jerry would score The Sum of All Fears, with a screenplay by this very interviewer!
For 1986's Hoosiers, Jerry Goldsmith's original music score has been nominated for an Academy Award in 1987. He was the best but he just got better and better as time went on. In the later years like the 1990s and beyond, there are a lot of filmmakers such as Joe Dante and Paul Verhoeven wanted great scores and soundtrack albums of purely film music are absolutely incredible. They're irresistibly sheer, irresistibly joyful. It's my desire but that's also my opinion as well.
Those days are but a sad memory of better times, before the hacks, the 'finger stabbers', the music illiterates [who couldn't read notated music] arrived at the scene. We now have some 'factory' in Santa Monica where composers 'ghost' for their employer -- some former rock musician with a German-sounding name.
Love total recall the whole soundtrack is epic driving music .
Jerry Goldsmith rules FOREVER. His scores for the "The Omen Trilogy" are AWESOME. Of course, I'm partial to "Damien: Omen II", which is my favorite score of the Trilogy. He should have won more Academy Awards for his massive proflic career and genius, he died too soon. Film music, it's where it's at people..
The Snowmobile track is great. Great opening theme saving the fact the words are Latin for Hail satan. 😢
@@dingorex Yes, the "Snowmobiles" is a great song, it's the only light hearted composition of the score. I love the "Main Title", that late Goldsmith's 70's funk version of Ave Satani.
Damn this guy is incredible. Jerry Goldsmith is the realy best composer by far . No chance Mr. Zimmer and Co...
How correct you are. JTW couldn't hold a candle to JKG no matter how much he tried. Moreover, Goldsmith deserved all those Oscars awarded to Williams.
Jerry Goldsmith was ahead of his time; an inventor of new sounds and arrangements that was never heard before and never made again. You weren't simply watching a movie, but instead living it. The music he made stirs such emotion and you can feel the power behind the unique patterns he created in the instruments. He literally could compose anything from Dennis the Menace to Total Recall and still manage to pull you into the movie. A True Legend! 👏
Love his music
Rare genuis. Apparently he was a humble person, open to ideas and suggestions. A true unsung hero of cinema. Created an audio landscape which many occupy and develop now.
Jerry Goldsmith is one of my idols. His scores sound so endemic to the piece, characterizing, creating mood, giving soul & spirit to the film, the spine, the essence….He’s one of the best, since the days of The Man from UNCLE & Dr Kildare on TV in the early 60s. I just wish as a fan I could’ve expressed my admiration of his amazing talent. He’s sorely missed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
His intuition, instinct, intelligence, are unique in film scoring, his humanity, his talent, the crowning glory of a truly great artist.
I am huge fan of his work on Mulan (1998) should've won an Oscar for that score
The GOAT
Great insights on one of the (if not THE) most creative mind in film music. Thanks for sharing!
One of the few people that acknowledges legend 0:22
He was THE BEST. He just got better and better as time went on.
In the 80s a lot of directors wanted *hitty songs instead of great scores and soundtracks albums of purely film music died a death.
I went to see 'Hoosiers' (known as 'Best Shot' here) when it came out - purely for the Goldsmith score. I had no interest in the film itself.
