RIP Maestro Goldsmith. A legend. The silver age of film music is sadly passing away.

The pros tell you it’s the greatest written screenplay in Hollywood history. I don’t know about that but if you close your eyes that horn transports you back 85 years..

The most beautiful rendition of this Goldsmith theme ive ever heard. Goldsmith would be proud.

What many people don't know is that the Chinatown soundtrack was being composed by another composer, but producer Robert Evans didn't like the soundtrack and fired him. He then hired Jerry Goldsmith to compose it, who only had two weeks to do it since post-production was already very advanced. Therefore, this fact adds even more merit to Goldsmith, he composed a masterpiece against the clock.

The art of arranging something great to something even better.

What a terrific young orchestra. What a lovely and wonderful conductor. And, this young man has nailed this solo savagely ! I've been loving and playing this solo for almost 50 years. What a magnificent job this young man is doing.
