never did or haven't yet. Jerry Goldsmith once mentioned two directors he would like to work with or would have liked to work with. Please post any of your own. Either composers who wanted to work with a director or a director who wanted to work with a composer. Thanks. Here's a director that Goldsmith said he would have loved to work with. Can you name him?

Ken Russell?

Ken Russell? Yes, indeed! Intriguing thought their partnership... I thought it was the marquess of bath.

Hmmm … Ken Russel's "The Devils," music by Jerry Goldsmith. Now that would have been interesting!

Would be interesting to hear other composers' experiences in working for Ken Russell. I interviewed Richard Rodney Bennett about 35 years ago and he said working for Russell was the unhappiest experience he had ever had in films. Specifically, he said Russell could never make his mind up on what he wanted, or, more accurately, decide what he wanted and keep changing it. RRB probably not accustomed to working on the fly. Anyway, Billion Dollar Brain is a brilliant score.

Anyway, Billion Dollar Brain is a brilliant score. Interesting. I interviewed John Corigliano (who was a guest instructor at my college for several weeks) and he spoke of how much he enjoyed working with Russell, as Russell took such an interest in the music and -- unlike directors today -- actually wanted a score that was like nothing anyone had ever heard before. But -- Corigliano did express some disappointment in how the score was mixed (and in places re-edited). The composer initially attended the sound mix, but after seeing what Russell was doing with some of the cues, he decided (for his own peace of mind) to make for the exit.

Didn't Goldsmith chase Schindler's List?

Goldsmith wanted to work with Phil Alden Robinson after seeing Field Of Dreams and was unhappy that Horner was chosen instead to score that film in particular. And yes, he cited Schindler's List as a film he would have wanted to score, in an interview sometime after.

I'm surprised that Brian DePalma never ever hooked up with Goldsmith (or Horner, for that matter). He worked with quite a few 'big guns' during their 'prime periods', but those two never came up. I always imagine BDP would be a dream director to work for*, given his allowance of music to dominate his films. *unless you're Alan Silvestri

That could've been a really interesting assignment for Horner.

John Barry has stated in interviews that he would have loved to score 2001, Cinema Paradiso, or any of the Fellini films.

Can anyone guess or know this other director that Goldsmith had wanted to work with? Tinto Brass? Joe D'Amato? zooba THEE stallion?
