Customer Reviews:

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

Customer Reviews:

Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

Customer Reviews:

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Really Good Collection.......2004-07-11

I bought this in part because it had soundtracks to tv shows that are unavailable. My husband and I watch aome British programming. Many of the theme songs are for what seems like obscure British shows. That said; it has been enjoyable to hear music that I would normally never hear. Some music does sound tinny; some are very very rich, and some music is derived from actual preformances from the original artists. I think this is worth buying because is has a wonderful blend of music. The pieces are full soundtracks so they includes the parts of the theme song which are often edited out. I think the orchestra's who preformed the music did a great job. I have MonsterMania which redoes the soundtracks to the Godzilla movies. The interpretation is less heavy and stark than the preformance we associate with the original soundtrack; but I regard it as a new way to appreciate the music and all the componets which make the song unique.

Fantastic...........2003-03-04

This is a phenomenal set...a dream come true for any fan of the series...The compositions are fantastic. Other reviewers have done a better job than I can at pointing out the subtleties of this collection...I just had to write this review to rebuke the mistaken reviewer who criticized the sound quality. The quality is more than adequate considering the source material and does not take away from this collection at all. If you are a fan of the series, this is a must have and a bargain to boot!

The Twilight Zone: 40th Anniversary Collection.......2003-01-08

I have just auditioned this CD set, and the sound is awful, it's poorly mastered. What [person] thought that adding cheesy echo would cover the fact that it was not mastered from session tapes. I will buy nothing from this label again. It sounds like a bootleg. The harshness of my criticism is directed toward the producers of this disk, as both the TV show, and scores are brilliant. The Varese Sarabande Twilight Zone collections (Volume 1 & 2) on CD or Vinyl are sonically superior, and constitute a fitting example of these fine scores.

Imagination is RIGHT!.......2001-05-23

...These things are so good. Wish I had them years before, but they are here now and it is worth every penny. Your imagination will RUN WILD as you listen to these CDs. Beware! DO NOT listen late at night by yourself or in a car late at night by yourself on a lonely out-of-the-way road. Get the picture?! Yes, they are that thought provoking and spooky.

It's about time that the Twilight Zone series was honored in this way. Congrats to those who put it together!

DO NOT LISTEN WHILE DRIVING OR WALKING ALONE AT NIGHT!.......2000-06-27

About sixteen years ago I bought the original vinyl releases of this music (on Varese Sarabande) because some friends and I had landed a radio show in that would feature radio dramas and skits written by us that would desperately need scoring. I could never forget the haunting music I'd heard a million times while watching The Twilight Zone on television even through the archaic little 3-1/2 inch speaker on the old black and white Philco. After buying all five volumes auditioned them to mark them for mood, time, cues and such...but I soon realized that I was absoulutely enthralled by the music itself. It was so evocative, so distinct and well done that it inspired me to collect soundtracks in general, for work purposes as well as enjoyment. Imagine my dismay when I found most others could not measure up even with orchestras armed with three or four times the players! Years went by. The radio show continued. The Twilight Zone scores were magical. Nearly anything we tracked them to that matched the particular mood of a cut seemed to work PERFECTLY! Sometimes we'd make it a game, dropping the needle on a cut that fit the mood and damned if it didn't score out correctly, with pauses falling as needed. People called and asked who scored this piece or that one. We'd respond "Oh...Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith and Nathan Van Cleave". We got lucky. Our radio work helped us to get into television as writers. We wondered what it must have been like for these composers when they made that leap decades before. And then...some time later...as is always the case with something you covet...I noticed one of my albums was missing. Traveling around with them finally caught up with me. I'd lost one. Volume five, I believe. Frantic, I checked every store in New York that would have it...new, used, collectors, but no dice. Out of print and out of luck. I turned my attention to the remaining four volumes. They were vinyl. They wouldn't last forever in spite of my babying and maintenance. And then I said, "Wait...perhaps the CD age would bring them all to me again in beautiful digital sound. Why worry?" The wait would be for years. When I thought I would finally have to go on e-bay, pay some ridiculous price for Vol. 5, then get the whole batch together, clean them up and burn them onto CD, the Varese CD came out...BUT IT WAS ONLY A BEST OF! ONE LOUSY CD! A TEASE! I e-mailed them "Are you going to put out the rest?" I heard back "Thank you for contacting us about our products, blah, blah, blah". I stopped looking. Until a friend at work saw the crummy Varese single disc on my desk and asked if I'd gotten the "boxed set". "Boxed set?" After I was revived, I went online and lo and behold, there it was! I listened to a sound sample...my God ! Here it was! Chock full of even more than the vinyls had. I ordered immediately. And in one of the rare occurences in American life, I got more than I bargained for! Stellar mastering and sound! The groupings by composer! Rod's openings! Truly informative liner notes. And of course...Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith (Rivaled only in my mind by Ennio Morricone as film and TV composers) in easy to transport digital audio. I listened to them on the way home that night on the LIRR and their power remained. Was the next stop Jamaica station...or "gasp!", Willoughby? The walk home was even better! (or worse if you're a true scaredy-cat) The wind's usual tepid moan and the local mutt's howl merged with this music seemed to signal the coming apocalypse! If you are a fan of great music, and great soundtrack music, this collection is a must. Trust me, you've heard and *enjoyed this music and will enjoy it again. (*Did you know that SCTV used the two-note cue from Goldsmith's "Nervous Man In a $4.00 Room" as John Candy's "Dr. Tongue's" 3-D music cue? If they were hip enough to use Twilight Zone music, you know it's great stuff!)

Kudos to Joel McNeely for bringing this (and other great scores) back to light.......2005-11-09

For the Hermann completist this CD is a must. The scores are faithfully reproduced here and are performed and recorded beautifully. Joel McNeely has done many of these excellent re-creation cd's and I hope he continues the process.

Herrmann Brought Magic to the ZONE.......2005-06-24

I thoroughly enjoyed Joel Mc Neeley's recording of Bernard Herrmann's PSYCHO score, so I was thrilled to discover that the conductor also recorded Herrmann's scores for THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Herrmann was one of THE TWILIGHT ZONE's most prolific composers, having written the original theme music and the scores for eight individual episodes (only one of which, "The Hitch-Hiker," is regrettably not represented on this two-CD set). Mc Neeley's set opens with Herrmann's first version of the TWLIGHT ZONE theme (used during the series' initial season), with its familiar low final chord. The next sixteen tracks present Herrmann's score for the series' pilot episode, "Where Is Everybody?" Dream-like bewilderment is (as a previous reviewer suggested) the primary emotion this score, with its recurring three-note motif, captures. And it is true that Herrmann anticipates PSYCHO in several cues, particularly "The Mirror" and "The Bookrack." "Walking Distance," Herrmann's most highly acclaimed TWILIGHT ZONE score, follows "Where Is Everybody?" The episode tells the story of a weary businessman who revisits his hometown only to find it unchanged from the days of his youth. The episode is perhaps Rod Serling's finest, and Herrmann's music for it is pure nostalgic beauty, with not a hint of cloying.
Herrmann gives "The Lonely," an episode about a man imprisoned on an asteroid who receives a robot woman for a companion, a uniquely beautiful score, in which the notes played by the vibraphones and harps resemble stars. Herrmann's soundscape here truly suggests the "vastness of space." From the asteroid, we move back to Earth - to the hospital room of Miss Janet Tyler, a woman undergoing plastic surgery to repair her "deformed" face in "The Eye of the Beholder." Herrmann here uses basically the same instruments and one of the same motifs as in "The Lonely," but to express confinement rather than space - loneliness of a different kind, in other words. The first disc ends with Herrmann's original version of the series' closing theme, with its final notes played by horns.
The second disc contains three of the four Herrmann scores (the fourth being "The Eye of the Beholder") which had not been recorded since the composer made his original soundtrack recordings for the respective episodes. "Little Girl Lost" is a fascinating, semi-Romantic score. In it, flutes, harps, viola, and percussion all combine to depict the mysterious "other dimension" into which little Bettina Miller falls one night after being tucked into bed, and from which her father ultimately rescues her. Herrmann ingeniously uses a waltz motif and trills on a bass clarinet in "Living Doll," an episode about a cruel stepfather who comes to a bad end trying to destroy Talky Tina, his stepdaughter's malicious doll. After such a spare (it uses only three instruments) and ominous-sounding score it is a relief to hear the final tracks, which present Herrmann's last score for THE TWILIGHT ZONE, for the episode called "Ninety Years without Slumbering." Here Herrmann was inspired by a children's song, "My Grandfather's Clock," variations of which he uses to depict the emotions of an old man who believes that he will die when his heirloom grandfather clock stops ticking. The resulting sound is warm yet not without tension. As an admirer of Herrmann and of THE TWLIGHT ZONE, I am extremely thankful to have such fine performances of these wonderful scores on CD, and in pristine, modern sound.

Disc One is the better of the two!.......2003-12-31

Bernard Herrmann stands apart from many of his contemporaries because his scores could, for the most part, stand apart from the films that they accompanied. His composing skills were so great the he created mini-symphonies for the films assigned him. He thoroughly understood the technique of composing for film and how the music was integral to a story's success.

Nowhere is this more evident than in his scores for the classic Twilight Zone on this two-disc set. "Where is Everybody?" expresses the main character's bewilderment at being in a deserted town. Many of the cues for that episode are reminiscent for Herrmann's work in Jason and the Argonauts" and "Psycho".

"Walking Distance" is prime Herrmann as the music evokes the tale of a man revisiting his past. Herrmann always effectively used strings and contrasting horns to create a mood.

The surprise of finding companionship, as well as the results of losing the same, is brought to life by Herrmann's complex treatment for "The Lonely".

The dreamlike quality of the score to "Eye of the Beholder" is perfect for the tale of a hospital patient anxiously awaiting the results of her plastic surgery.

Disc Two features Herrmann's compositions for three other memorable episodes; however, these creations pale when compared to those that preceded them.

But still, sub-par Herrmann is better than anything before or since.

Very good, but not great.......2001-06-17

I'm thankful that McNeely and Varese did this project, and I certainly hope they'll do future TZ discs. As of this time, the scores for "Ninety Years without Slumbering", "Living Doll", and "Eye" are only available on this discing. The musicians certainly earned their paychecks...every single one of them, especially the harpists. Very surprising (according to the liner notes) that "Walking Distance" was only scored for 19 musicians. Die-hard fans of TZ like me drool over this stuff...

This isn't to say the entire recording is without objection. The tempi are often far too slow, and many times McNeely seems to hold up and emphasize entire phrases. The original recordings, with Sir Bernard conducting were swifter, in the same spirit of the fast-paced action in the episodes. "Where is Everybody" is an example of this....unfortunately, this recording is simply too methodical.

It is easily realized that McNeely was aiming for a more lyrical, less "televisional" approach with this disc...sometimes the approach works, sometimes it doesn't. While overall the recording of "Living Doll" is good, a number of passages (such as the opening bass clarinet solo) have all the urgency of a marble making its way through cement. Despite the dreary tempos, the cynicism of Herrmann's score is very nicely executed (especially what the program notes call the 'macabre waltz' in 3/8 time), in the same spirit as the horrifying turn of events in the television episode where Telly Savalas is killed in cold blood by the sadistic doll named Talky Tina.

High points of the disc are the rerecordings of "Little Girl Lost" and "Ninety Years", and to large extent "Eye of the Beholder". Very nice work indeed.

Silent, Somber, Seductive...........2001-03-04

In other words, all those twilight moods that Herrmann was so wonderful at evoking.

And Mr. McNeely and his fine orchestra give every mysterious, melancholic bar the loving care and attention they deserve.

These cues and themes were composed during Herrmann's finest period, and like Psycho they share that strange, hypnotic quality of an ethereal and slightly unsettling chamber music.

So, in keeping with that ambiance and hall sound, splendidly recorded. The selections on Disk 2 alone are worth the cost of the set

mediocre mess, nonetheless worth having for some.......2005-07-07

If you've never purchased one of these Silva Screen best-of score CDs, let me first say this: unless you're a true film-score nut (like me), don't do it. Just don't. They really aren't terribly good. This one, like most, is played by The city of Prague Philharmonic, and it's not a terribly talented orchestra. They play very flatly, they miss notes, their orchestrator makes odd changes to composers' music. The end result of all this is that if you're familiar with the film versions of the pieces of music they're playing, it can be, frankly, a bit difficult to listen to.

That said, there is one decent -- decent, mind you -- reason to buy this CD. That's for the five-minute track of music from Spielberg's "Duel." It isn't great music, by any means, but if you're a Spielberg fanatic, this is the only release there has ever been (to my knowledge, at least) of music from that movie.

To be fair, not all of the tracks here are poorly done. "Hymn to the Fallen" comes off fairly well, and so does the music from "A.I." and "The Terminal" -- and the "Minority Report" theme is actually quite good. But much of the rest just doesn't sound right, so if you're looking for a quick way to assemble a quality overview of Spielberg music, this isn't the way to go.

That brings me to my final complaint, which is that "The Lost World" is omitted entirely! There were several good themes done for that movie; it was no mere rehash of "Jurassic Park."

For the seriously devoted only.

28 tracks from "Duel" to "The Terminal" ~ Steven Spielberg.......2005-05-11

Silva Screen Classics celebrates the career of one of the most popular directors in cinema history...with this anthology of the music that hits the mark everytime for all the fans of "Music from the Films of STEVEN SPIELBERG"...these indelible musical impressions appear courtesy of the most renowned film scores composers of our time and long time Spielberg friend, John Williams...plus Jerry Goldsmith, Billy Goldenberg, Quincy Jones, Jeremy Lubbock, J. Rosenbaum and Rod Temperton...released in several categories from Action, Adventure, Drama and Sci-Fi sharing moments from powerful classic filming to a lighter side with some of the most familiar and recognizable themes ever written.

Anyone who has ever read my reviews knows that I'm a complete "film-score-buff" nut...Silva Screen Classics has come up with the best of the best in the category of soundtracks/scores...just take a peek with their latest release featuring a 2-CD-Set with inclusive 28 cues of unforgettable scores from the leading composers of the past three decades...the quality of sound, texture and substance is a film score collectors dream...each and every track is a self culture unto its own, bringing countries, worlds and universes under one umbrella.

This is one not to be missed...so many highlights and stand outs...from one spectrum of comedy, romance, drama, suspense, action, adventure...to the other of horror, war, thrillers and classics that linger from decade to decade...many have sold millions in Soundtracks, but here in this collection they all appear compliments of conductors Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens and Nic Raines...conducting The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus...though different arrangements in some cases, still a very good representation in tribute of this legendary director and icon.

A must have for "film-score-buff" collectors, including music lovers and anyone who enjoys a little nostalgia now and then...thank you James Fitzpatrick(producer), Reynold da Silva(executive producer) and Silva Screen Classics...it's amazing when one thinks about just how much a part of filmmaking history that Steven Spielberg has been over the last 30 some odd years...listening to this collection will bring back wonderful memories of some of those highlights and then your imagination sets in...just the way we like 'em!

Truly a beautiful rendition of extraordinary talent............2005-02-21

When I first purchased this cd, my original intent was for the soundtrack of Star Trek, which has always been a favorite of mine. I was also motivated by the fact that the orchestra performing is the London Philharmonic, which I consider one of the finest in the world. To this day, this cd stays in my player at bedside. When hearing the news that Mr. Goldsmith had passed away last year, I decided to purchase the 6 cd collection in his memory from Fox. This mans talent was truly a rare and extraordinary gift which he shared with us. I have given this cd as a gift several times because I felt I was giving a wonderful, moving, inspiring rendition of the exquisite talent of this man. If you are not familiar with Mr. Goldsmith, give this cd a chance and I believe you will continue pursuing the mood and music of Jerry Goldsmith, who will be missed for decades to come.

Pure Gold from Maestro Goldsmith.......2004-08-04

Some time ago I reviewed Jerry Goldsmith's outstanding score for "Star Trek Nemesis." At that time I remarked that the tones and secondary themes seemed to be almost a farewell to the Enterpise. It is only fitting that Maestro Goldsmith's musicians gave him standing ovations as they finished recording several cuts for that score. Now, of course, that "farewell" is so poignant. A number of years ago, my wife and I attended a concert with the Maestro conducting the Utah Symphony Orchestra in Salt Lake City. The program was essentially the same as we find on this grand album. We stood and gave Maestro Goldsmith a standing ovation, and a loud "Bravo!" then, and wish we could do it again. This is representative collection of the Maestro's work that is well worth having. A fitting tribute to a genius in his field. Nicely produced and packaged. For those of us who grew up with Goldsmith it is hard to say farewell. Bravo and yeia sou!

Goldsmith's Gold.......2004-03-04

Jerry Goldsmith is one of the greatest film composers of all time. He has written so many great scores on so many different themes that he is kind of taken for granted by his fans and listeners. This CD is an excellent introduction to Goldsmith's music and his immense range in musical themes and styles. Some of my favorites like "Islands in the Stream" and "Medecine Man" are missing but on one CD only so much can be represented. Goldsmith always gives us original themes of great originality and emotive power. His music blends well with the movies and he is one of our best narrative music composers. I'm happy that so much of great film scores like "Boys from Brazil," are included on this CD,when Goldsmith takes the Vienese Waltz of happiness and turns it into a Nazi Waltz of evil with strains of Wagner, Hitler's favorite composer, blended seamlessly into the score. "Patton" could have been better represented as it is easily one of Goldsmith's most recognizable scores and a classic. Whether it is action, love themes, horror, Goldsmith was and is always up to the task to create great film scores, most which stand on their own as any great symphonies of sound. Buy this and explore many of his other great scores and many are classics and out of print and this CD will give listeners a taste of what this grand master film composer can do and is still doing. Grand music on any scale. Highly recommended.

money ill spent.......2002-06-24

Many years ago, Sony and John Williams collaborated on an album of Star Wars favorites. I suspect someone at Telarc thought the same magic would work with Jerry Goldsmith and the LSO. Alas.
While the pieces chosen show a good cross-section of Goldsmith's crativity, the execution is seriously lifeless. It is as if the compositions were left to saute' overnight in Symphony Sauce: the performances are plodding and pedestrian. I don't know who convinced Goldsmith to do it this way, but omitting the martial snare roll at the beginning of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. theme, or not adding at least an accordian to the Waltons theme, are just two examples of how Goldsmith's great work has been emasculated by, I suspect, some record exec's insight. If you want to hear these pieces as originally written and performed, you'll have to start searching on other albums. Good hunting, and let us know what you find.

A good example of Goldsmith's range, but..........2002-05-17

...the quality of many performances are lower than they ought to be, which is astonishing in light of the reputation of the London Symphony Orchestra. This notwithstanding, there's enough to justify getting one's hands on this item. For me, the high point of the album is the medly of television themes composed by Goldsmith, which begins with a hellacious musical argument for the revival of *The Man From U.N.C.L.E.* as a theatrical film. (Hell, if they can resuscitate that bletcherous bore *Mission: Impossible* to make not one but two big-budget buckets of bilge, *The Man from U.N.C.L.E.* ought to attract plenty of attention, particularly if it's done with a sense of humor similar to that which informed the old TV show.)

The other problem with this album is the selection of cuts. For example, almost anything could have been better chosen from the film *Rudy* but the highly sedative passage recapitulated here, and the entirely inadequate dose of the theme from *The Wind and the Lion* incorporated in this album comes at the tail of an 18-minute medly of lesser stuff through which the average fan of *The Wind and the Lion* has no wish to sit. We've heard the theme from the first *Star Trek* movie endlessly; why not a variation on the nasty elegence of the Klingon theme from that and subsequent *Star Trek* films? Goldsmith also wrote other incidental music for *The Man from U.N.C.L.E.* -- so why not a re-visit of "The Man from THRUSH" (or the original program music "THRUSH Raid") and suchlike?

*The Film Music of Jerry Goldsmith* is reasonably good, but by no means the best to be had. It whets the appetite, but doesn't satisfy.

The Goldsmith Zone.......2006-12-30

Even now, almost twenty-five years since its original release, TWILIGHT ZONE--THE MOVIE is understandably considered at best just an okay kind of film in comparison with the classic TV series that spawned it. The fact that Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese child extras were needlessly killed only tainted the film that much more.

But there's little denying one of the film's numerous saving graces, namely one more great score composed by master film composer Jerry Goldsmith, whose genius is very evident in conjuring up the film's atmosphere of mystery, suspense, wonder, paranoia, and psychological horror. Much as he did for THE OMEN and STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, the composer weaves numerous musical elements: oscillating, Herrmann-influenced strings for Segments 1 & 4; a congenial children's waltz/scherzo for Spielberg's segment with the kids and the old folk's home; and a combination of cartoon-like wackiness and Debussy-influenced tone painting for Segment 3. And of course it wouldn't be the Twilight Zone without Marius Constant's familiar theme music and Rod Serling's introductory narration, would it?

If the film had been made without incident, it would almost certainly have been a big box office hit in 1983, instead of the modest hit that it actually was; and Goldsmith's score would be as well-known as many of his others. Still, the score does stand out, and it's well worth revisiting.

THANK YOU!!!.......2005-08-22

THANKS!!!

Welcome To The Goldsmith Zone.......2004-12-07

This is a fine work by Jerry Goldsmith. Having worked in the original TV show before, Goldsmith arranges the original Marius Constant main theme for the film's main and end credits, with total respect.
I really love his predominant use of snare drums and piano in 'Time Out'. A propulsive and relentless militaristic piece of music that describes the odyssey of Vic Morrow's character through different stages of time.
Then we have the lovely track 'Kick The Can', in which Goldsmith musically describes the wish of certain seniors to be young again. A very touching cue indeed.
'A Good Life' is not quite the kind of music I love to hear from Goldsmith, but I must admit that it fulfills its mission of conveying weirdness, with a little tribute to Carl Stalling on the side.
Finally, before we get to hear the "Twilight Zone" end credits, we get to hear a true thrilling track titled 'Nightmare At 20,000 Feet'. A spectacular piece of music that makes us feel the fears of an airline passenger (John Lithgow) who sees some sort of a monster on the plane wing.
The only track that seems to be out of place is the song 'Nights Are Forever', sung by Jennifer Warnes. Even though it's composed by Goldsmith and lyricist John Bettis, and it's played in the 'Time Out' sequence, the song feels kinda strange in the album, as well as in the film.
In general, this is one good album that should be in every soundtrack fan's collection.

Goldsmith's music elevates an average film!.......2003-06-12

The producers of the trouble-plagued "Twilight Zone-the Movie" can be satisfied with one of their decisions: the hiring of legendary Jerry Goldsmith as leader of the baton. He, like fellow composers John Williams and Elmer Bernstein, belongs in a class by himself, with few even meeting him (or them) halfway.

...the album is short (45:20), but a little bit of Goldsmith goes a long way. The highlights are the scores from the segments "Kick the Can" and "It's A Good Life". There are some recognizable Goldsmith touches but that does not lessen their impact or beauty.

It just shows that one has a trained "Goldsmith ear". Any fan worth his/her weight in gold would be able to discern Goldsmith's style from another's.

Jennifer Warnes is the bomb!!!.......2003-01-22

OK, I never saw the movie. Further more, up until two weeks ago, I never had a need for this CD. That was when I finally found a reference to Jennifer Warnes' Nights Are Forever. Shortly put: I haven't heard this song in 20 years; now I have it. Sound quality is good throughout this CD. It was made in Germany. Amazon.com had the CD in stock, and luckily I got it in a few days. If you have a need for this CD, it is all that!!!! For those of you who like to bash on Jennifer Warnes, yes the song is a trivial sugar-coated pop song that never did belong on this CD, but it does sound good. Considering the song never made it onto the Billboard Singles Hot 100 (#105), but did well on the Adult Contemporary charts, it never received much air play. For those of you who can remember it, it's worth buying. I'd also like to recommend the soundtrack All The Right Moves for the title track.

Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17

Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!

A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09

This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".

A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06

Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).

"the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06

The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.

For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.

This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.

A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Sounding Recordings.......2001-10-16

This CD has been around for a while now but it is still truly a good compilation of Science Fiction film music given a new dimension by being recorded digitally. The BATMAN selections composed by Danny Elfman are very powerful combing rousing elements with moody enigmatic passages. Most of the other selections are short or confined to one piece. The selections from TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER and POLTERGEIST all composed by Jerry Goldsmith are all performed with passion and demonstrate Goldsmith's great versatility. Bernard Herrmann's "Outer Space" from THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is brief but in effect makes it all the more powerful by its great innovation and lasting impact. The WAR OF THE WORLDS "Prelude" by Leith Stevens was a great surprise.

An interesting collection of obscure s/f-fantasy themes.......2000-10-26

Maestro Kunzel has gathered together a mostly-entertaining mix of music from various s/f movies. As usual with these collections, the CD contains selections that are hard to come by (if not impossible) on a soundtrack or any other recorded source. Not all of the tracks work, however. Music from "Moonwalker" is annoying, and the theme from "War of the Worlds" is just plain weird. Not Kunzel's fault, I know, but those pieces tend to (for me) mar the overall likeability of the album. That said, there are definitely keepers: The theme from "The Black Hole," the soundtrack to which was unavailable on CD anywhere until just recently and which by itself is worth the cost; the sweet chorus of Carol Ann's Theme from "Poltergeist"; the themes from "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "The Beast Master" (I am Dar!) and "The Last Starfighter."

Unfortunately, these movie collections tend to waste too much disk space on sound effects. Often inserted as short introductions to a piece of music, most can be endured quickly and forgotten. But on this CD, a whole track's worth following "The Black Hole" is devoted to the inane cacophony of electronic gibberish, space that would have been much better served by playing, say, the Love Theme from "Superman."

Still, there are more things to like on this album than there are to dislike.

Digital Sound with a so-so collection.......2000-06-25

This is another of the Telarc label's collections put together under the conductor Erich Kunzel and performed by the Cincinnati pops orchestra. Like all Telarc discs, the sound is pure digital and hence can really pack a punch. Moreover, Kunzel often chooses some vey nice gems in his collections -- e.g. the neglected Last Starfighter piece here. However, the problem arises in the fact that many pieces of film score don't play well with a large orchestra -- they loose their focused intensity. The Batman here suffers from such a flaw and is weaker than the original score. The Pops orchestra is best with march-type themes, of which there are not enough on this album to make it outshine the original soundtracks from which it draws.
