Jerry shows his classical roots at around :52 when he starts his masterful fugue. THIS MAN WAS ONE OF A KIND!!!

I heard this score for the first time back in 1978 or so in Pittsburgh, PA. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, under the conductorship of the great Andre Previn, did a terrific rendition of this awesome score.

I saw the Blue Max a theatre when it first came out, and it deeply moved me, even though I was only 8 years old. Since then, there have been a few movies that dealt with WW I in the air (e.g. “Von Richthofen and Brown,” 1971, and “Flyboys,” 2006), but nothing has ever come close to the Blue Max, nor has any soundtrack come close to Jerry Goldsmith’s.

A great score for a great movie. Greatest flying scenes of any ww1 movie. Loved the acting also.

I so love this movie, soundtrack is so brilliant, and the movie has a great message. I envy my old College history professor though, he actually went to the movie's premier, where every Pour Le Merite/Blue Max winner then still living was also invited. George Peppard is so awesome in this, it is easily his best movie role.

@DEP717 A movie such as this should seen on the big screen! saw it for the first time back in the 70s on ABC as a boy! Powerful film! And underrated!

Beautiful, just beautiful! Goldsmith had a real knack for writing very uplifting themes. Interestingly, one can hear hints of his prelude to "The Agony and The Ecstasy" and, surprisingly, some of his work describing the "Enterprise" from "Star Trek-The Motion Picture". When Jerry died so did part of the heart of soundtrack composition in Hollywood. Now only John Williams carries the torch for excellent writing in an era when "tones" produced by the likes of Zimmer rule...so sad!

This man was an artist! A genius!

I saw this back in the early 1970's when it was re-released in theatres in full widescreen Panavision(Cinemascope) and Color. Seeing THE BLUE MAX in a large auditorium on a super widescreen made the moviegoing experience a special treat!

As George Peppard's plane climbs into the sky, I feel as sense of exhiliration with him as Jerry Goldsmith's Score Opening, calls for flight.

I can see Werner Voss engaging 6 SE-5"s on the last combat flight of his life.

I've been collecting scores for many years now, and somehow Goldsmith has slipped entirely under my radar. Given all the acclaim I read about his work, I'm not sure how I have missed his music. However...this is truly an endorsement for my first purchase. Thanks for posting.
