Jerry Goldsmith - The Great Train Robbery - Soundtrack Music Suite

[MJTElectrl0]

Sprightly lyrical score to a fun-filled, delightful film.

Sean Connery was in two of my Favorite Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack movies, this one and Medicine Man. Connery did some of the scenes on top of the train himself. Jerry is the best.

I was listening to this just last night (have the CD). God, it's gorgeous; one of the most elaborate & exquisite scores Jerry ever created. You can tell by listening to this that he was very much inspired by Michael Crichton's film. Stunning main theme, and what an Oveture for the End Title Credits music!... and what a beautiful waltz! Fantastic orchestration. This should be played in concert today. Along with 'The Blue Max', this is my favorite Goldsmith score. Thanks for putting this up.

But how come there is no track on that album with a running time of 6:11? Which track from the OST is this?

@rubisco1981

Maybe you read my notes, there are the tracks listed :-)

[rubisco1981]

Which performance is this? On which album can it be found, the OST or the re-recording by the NPO?

[DaneTheConquerer]

@rubisco1981

It's from the originasl OST the Deluxe Edition of Varese Sarabande

Jerry Goldsmith was an absolute genius. There will never be another composer quite like him.

This one of my FAV Jerry scores, it made me back in the day see the movie 5 times. Always felt Jerry was in this competition with Johnny. I think he was because Johnny was more recognized than he. But it made him produce the best music of his time, Soarin is pretty great and of course Star Treak was astounding. His lack of recognition was part of his down fall, he always felt less yet never realized his fullness due to Johnny beating him year after year, not to discount JW but he's commercial.

One of everyone's favourite Goldsmith scores,,,,there's an Elmer Bernstein influence in the train sequences and the end credits. Score is very contained until the actual train robbery when it breaks loose with a wonderful variation of the main theme and the end credits are my favourite Goldsmith cue.
