Jerry Goldsmith - Archive Interview (entire)

[Eastwoodisboss]

his best score was "The Edge" in my opinian anyway

[profoblivion]

This is amazing. Any way I can get a copy? Where can I find this?

[Brady2k10]

this guys a legend and he knew it all along, and whats more he even said he considers his score on total recall one of his best and thats one of my favourite films!

[Innertauts]

Great to hear him talk about the early days of live television. Most of the interview did focus on his TV work, from the 50's thru Star Trek. Really love this piece, done less than two years before he passed on. What a talented human being!

[Tobias1969]

It's all that blue eye shadow that killed him!



[ZipBalloon1989]

@Tobias1969 its the shade of his glasses

[gtmunn]

@cutandpaste1 I know this is a 5 month old comment, but I don't see how he is effeminate in any way. Was he battling Colan cancer at this point?

[ZipBalloon1989]

@gtmunn yes he was.



[Iasamei]

when it comes to big BANGS in musical pieces, you know, jerry was the top. i once considered james horner to have it over him but jerry has the biggest bangs for sure

[Serpico261]

JERRY GOLDSMITH IS BIG DADDY OF MOTION PICTURE MUSIC SOUND SCORE.

[hourlynewscaster]

I'm glad he mentioned his days in radio. His haunting theme, played on the trumpet, for the program "Frontier Gentleman" is amazing.

[myleftnutts]

@hourlynewscaster Not as Haunting as the trumpet from the theme to "Chinatown" that ALONE makes him Musically Immortal.btw way check out his score for "Logan's Run" where he played with at the time,his new music toy,his modular "Arp 2500" synthesizer.

@cutandpaste1

Keep in mind that this was two years before he died. He was in declining health at this point and ready to throw in the towel.

[sergioaran]

I would replace Zimmer and North for Miklos Rozsa :)

[river2walk]

This is the first time I've seen this great composer in person, but I've enjoyed his wonderful music for many years. What a pity so many gifted people who have brought us so much pleasure over the years remain 'faceless' to the public, and are rarely interviewed. For instance I never knew that MR Goldsmith was dead! Thanks for posting this great interview.

[flyguy359]

this interview reminds how many interesting interviews could have been conducted with people from the early days of TV who are now dead - many of the interviews are with people who are huge now but tiny then and lack insight into how productions were put together in those golden years - another great interview, though!

[constair]

Basic instinct. The most genius music to film I've ever heard. Not enough words to  make respect.

[moondog202001]

Fascinating interview. Goldsmith was a genius and is still my favorite composer.

[jerrylives1965]

Thanks for posting.Its a delight to listen to Jerry.

[cywiringwlad]

...or 500 characters.

[suicunetudor]

Thank you for all your music, Jerry. You will never be forgotten. I love your music, especially the one for The Mummy. May you rest in peace.

Best.Film.Composer.Ever

[Hammerhead451]

Alien is my favorite score done by Jerry even though he had some artistic differences with the film makers.

Rest in peace.

[zerokomma]

Thanks for this gem. Jerry is sorely missed...he was the greatest!

[SummerPudding1]

Yeah, he's sorely missed. What a hero

[nonsuchfabio]

One of the great titans of film music. Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith & John Williams are probably the Mt. Rushmore 4. I pop in 'The Haunting' just for the music. RIP Jerry.

[WolfySnackrib666]

If I'd pick one from each age of motion picture that I know of that are pretty damned remarkable I'd go with Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams and Hans Zimmer.

[jslasher1]

@WolfySnackrib666 I'd replace Hans Zimmer with Alex North if I were you.

[avatarnarutochuck]

@WolfySnackrib666 Mine would be Bernard Herrmann, Miklos Rozsa, Alfred Newman, Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, Maurice Jarre, John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, and John Williams.

[kobyashi45]

Jerry I love you man ! Thanks for your scores, thanks for THE theme for Star Trek !!!

YOU ARE THE MAN !! RIP !

[penti77]

A wonderful posting! Thank you from Ireland.

[DMaustrap]

A great and frank interview with Goldsmith, I miss the man and his unique approaches to film scoring. Thanks for the complete upload.

[phantassm]

I love Jerry Goldsmith. Great interview.
