l myself liked Alan Silvestris score for the Mummy 2. Goldsmiths score was fine but SIlvestris score was to me a blowout score especially the end title for that film (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
A particularly impressive score. I first heard it on a transatlantic flight in the inflight entertainment system, had to buy the record, and then, of course, at long last also watch the film. Thank you so much for making George Delerue's version with a live orchestra available here.
I was blessed with a busy decades long career as a studio singer during which it was a privilege to work with Jerry Goldsmith. On the scoring session for Poltergeist , I mentioned to him how much I loved his score for Alien. He smiled and said it was not the happiest of times for him, that director Ridley Scott had been difficult. One of my favorite movies and a brilliant, terrifying score. Rest In Peace, sir, you are deeply missed
A very good movie and an excellent score. As for inaccuracies, all historical movies have inaccuracies, be they deliberate, accidental or both. And they are all subjective. This one also has some reasonable background, such as with the names of the last Mayan kings and that of a Mayan goddess, and the reference to pyramid structures found across the Gulf of Mexico. I like Chakiris' portrayal of Balam. It's a shame that critics in the 60s interfered with the film's public reception, but it's about time that people learned to think independently. For that matter, the critics also criticized Bernstein's score for being too beautiful, so one can't win. Seems they were just out to get the film.
Goldsmith is my favorite film composer and Hoosiers is one of my go to soundtracks of his, the expanded version put out in 2012 is essential for any film music library. I can’t think of any piece of music from him that didn’t change my life, to be fair though :).
Had never heard Jerry Goldsmith’s voice before but he’s more soft spoken then I expected. His music tends to be very big and powerful like on The Mummy. Nice contrast.
One of the better film scores produced by humanity, I don't care what others think. In a 100 years down the road, this score will be one of those that are reverse engineered and scrutinized for how special it is.
Jerry Goldsmith's music score for Universal's "The Mummy" (1999) is simply the best. It works extraordinary like a rock unlike anything else. The only film in this category was nominated for an 2000 Academy Award for best achievement in sound mixing.
On sent que l’orchestre n’a pas pu répéter beaucoup et les tempi sont plus lents que ceux exigés par Legrand, mais la suite symphonique reste un chef-d’œuvre.
Air Lyndhurst sometimes produces better sounding recordings than Abbey Road, too bad Todd AO and Paramount scoring stages are gone now, same thing with Denham studios outside of London which is just now a block of flats.
Todd AO and Paramount Scoring Stages & Post Production Facilities were all gone now because of each and every one who want to become independents again.
Quelle bonne idée la numérisation de ce film qui montre presque en intégralité le défilé de la 39e mi-carême de Cholet 1956 sous un ciel radieux ! Ils sont rares les documents d'une aussi bonne qualité concernant les mi-carêmes de Cholet. Merci. Christian Percereau - Historien du carnaval de Cholet et des fêtes de Saumur.
