Jerry Goldsmith 80th Birthday Tribute Concert - Fimucité 3








Jerry Goldsmith 80th Birthday Tribute Concert
FIMUCITE 3
Closing Night Gala 2009

Conducted by Mark Snow and Diego Navarro
Featuring the Tenerife Film Orchestra and Choir

1 DVD and 1 CD for the price of just 1 CD!

Had we not lost the great Jerry Goldsmith so pre-maturely in 2004, at the ages of 75, he would have turned 80 in 2009. To remember and celebrate the legendary composer on this very special occasion, producer Robert Townson and the Fimucité festival in Tenerife staged an extraordinary concert. It’s never possible to represent all of Goldsmith’s classics in any one concert. The idea here was to focus on Jerry’s music for science fiction and horror films. This opened the door to include some pieces that don’t get as much concert attention as the obligatory (though masterful and much-loved) Patton, Chinatown and Rudy.

This meant we could offer premiere concert performances of neglected gems such at The Illustrated Man, The Swarm and The Final Conflict. We could even shine a rare spotlight on Capricorn One, The Sum of All Fears and even The Omen! Rounding out the blockbuster program was music from fan-favorites Planet of the Apes, Star Trek: First Contact, Gremlins, Poltergeist and Total Recall!

It was a remarkable evening which also included a special award to Jerry Goldsmith, accepted in person by his wife, Carol.

Conducted by Mark Snow and Diego Navarro, the Jerry Goldsmith 80th Birthday Tribute and Celebration was a glorious evening and it can now be shared with fans of the composer’s work all over the world.

This 2-disc set includes a DVD of the concert and a CD of just the music. A beautiful DVD booklet (something that seems to be being left out of all but the most elaborate collector DVD sets these days) is also included.

hope it looks/sounds better than the other one they did, which was horribly released. Maybe an HD version would have been really cool (I presume it was shot in HD).

This is the only one I'll order out of the disappointing batch.

I think the sound bites on the varese page are great. The performance of THE SWARM in the YouTube clip is spot on.
I really like seeing the players perform the music. And the additional CD is a great idea as well.
Overall great release. Looking forward to it.

I also like the cartoony character on the cover. Since we do not see his face we can only speculate, if it's a caricature of Goldsmith. He has white hair.
But I think it's rather a drawing of a generic conductor.

Like this approach!

EDIT:
The grey area behind the character is an alien, isn't it? smile

Um...that's the coolest cover I've ever seen.eekeeksmile

Keep releasing these concert DVD's, Varèse, because they are fantastic! An incredible amount of fun and very fascinating.

Thats the end title off of the actual score, I think.

It's a cool cover, but it doesn't have anything to do with Jerry Goldsmith, of course. I'm guessing it would demand too much to create a kind of "Goldsmith montage" thingie.

No wonder that it's spot on then... smile
At the end of the clip there's some applause, so I thought it's from the live performance.

But I'm sure, that the grey area behind the conductor is the monster from A L I E N. Or do I see ghosts?? wink

No, that's an Alien. I think so, anyway. Look at it upside down.

Is that an Alien? I thought it was a whale.

 By:   Trekfan   (Member)

I thought it was a whale as well, but I can't figure out what connection a whale might have with the disc's contents. Maybe it's some sort of visual metaphor that Goldsmith was a "giant" in his field, a whale in a sea full of mere fish...

Looks like the ALIEN to me with the drawn up upper lip, jagged sharp teeth and no visible eyes. Looks like it could use going on a diet though.

It seems most likely to me that it's an interpretation of the alien from "Alien".
