Goldsmith Concert

From: Ben Tunningley <Ben.Tunningley@Clever.co.uk>

Just thought you should know that Jerry Goldsmith gave a stunning concert at London's Barbican Centre last night, conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.

The LSO were on fine form: sensitive and beautiful on "Rudy", outrageously bombastic on "The Generals" suite. As well as plenty of his own work, some of which featured in last year's 70th Birthday Tour, they played work by Alex North ("Viva Zapata"), Alfred Newman ("All About Eve") and Rozsa ("Ben Hur"). The finale was Goldsmith's "Fireworks (A Celebration of Los Angeles)" composed last year for his performance at the Hollywood Bowl. Does anyone know if this has been recorded and released?

Anyway, it's back to the Barbican tonight for an evening of "Star Trek and the World of Fantasy", Goldsmith-style.

Ben sent this email after the next night's concert:

From: Ben Tunningley <Ben.Tunningley@Clever.co.uk>

Jerry Goldsmith performed with the LSO for the second and last performance of this whistle stop tour. He mentioned having just finished recording the score for Paul Verhoeven's "The Hollow Man" (lots of "crash bang") at Abbey Road so I guess that's why he's still here.

The theme for the evening was "Star Trek and the World of Fantasy", and the first half comprised seven pieces for various incarnations of Trek. As always, the Motion Picture title was a real work-out for the orchestra. Jerry said he never really 'got' Star Trek, but it's very popular so that's okay. Also, he mentioned that he'd never done such a large chunk of Trek in one concert.

The second half covered his other fantasy work, from Capricorn One and Alien to Powder and The Mummy. It was very well received by an audience having a lot of fun.

One thing of note. He mentioned that he's been recording for a new Phillips sound system which is just about to launch. It takes advantage of the 5.1 audio set-ups that are becoming popular for DVD playback, and he said that both he and the orchestra consider the results to be phenomenal. He was vague, but it sounds like he's recorded all this latest concert material, as well as "Music for Orchestra" and other non-film work. And yes, they did record "Fireworks".

Whether this release will be exclusively on the new format, or whether on DVD or CD remains to be seen.

I am blown away by this program and wish I could have attended the concerts -- particularly the second one. This is the first time Goldsmith has ever done many of his dramatic underscore masterpieces -- like "The Enterprise" -- in concert (to my knowledge, at least). It's bizarre because for years he has played a lot of the same things and only recently in FSM we gave him some concert "advice" -- basically play the dramatic stuff, don't worry about the pops aspect. For whatever reason -- whim, need of two-nights of material, or whatever -- he has finally tried it out some of the cooler stuff. Not that he could have possibly read Jeff Bond's "advice" article, but I'm glad he experimented and I hope he does more of the challenging dramatic cues in the future.

The news on his new CD recordings is great too.
