Does this upload bring back memories. I attended this concert, as I had in previous years at the invitation of Sidney Samuelson. John Williams also conducted at Filmharmonic 75. I attended the reception in the Green Room and had a chat with Jerry, who I already knew for some years, and, later, John Williams, who I met for the first time.
@@iceomistar4302 I agree that Hans Zimmer is somehow responsible for the decline in quality of film scoring. Matter of fact, with a possible exception of a handful of scores I find that I'm no longer interested in scores post-2004. Interesting that it coincides with the passing of Jerry Goldsmith and Elmer Bernstein.
@@iceomistar4302 plus I don't think nobody in the current crop of film composers can grasp that unique style that Goldsmith perfected where each and every single cue is cohesive and structured. From the main titles down to the end titles, Goldsmith didn't compose a single stray sound or melody; everything in his albums sound logical as if it was really meant to be there. Other composers when I listen to their soundtrack albums I feel as if it's an amalgamation of mish mash of sounds with every cue sounds individualized and out of place. Goldsmith can weave a tapestry of melodic storytelling that I can tell what happens by listening to the albums alone even if I hadn't seen the corresponding films. Now you can't listen like that anymore.
Jerry's Conducting really isn't that great, he might be just ok as a Studio recording conductor but in a concert setting you to need a bit more flamboyance and showmanship.
朱光元 Icbeoaneistari Conversely, there have been great flamboyant conductors with excellent showmanship but neither had the skills nor the talent at musical composition on par with Jerry Goldsmith.
@@iceomistar4302 I disagree with you that he is not one of the best pianists out there. Observe: m.ruclips.net/video/LF6ePEnquXo/видео.html that level of complexity and ease of execution in the piano is a testament of decades of practice and experience.
I forgot about that clip, I retract what I said, there is also this interview with him from 1989 where he plays the Klingon theme on Synth ruclips.net/video/prTr1hz37ds/видео.html
@@iceomistar4302 Yes I'm also aware of that clip. Here is Goldsmith also playing the love theme "We Were Lovers" from The Sand Pebbles: m.ruclips.net/video/fbaifO9SRFk/видео.html And here he is playing the "Rebel March" from Under Fire: m.ruclips.net/video/Wnp0cClT-Bo/видео.html
That cue alone from Wild Rovers shows you what genius he was. Nice to see him conduct this. Thanks for posting!
Great score by this gifted musician, Mr. Jerry Goldsmith. Wonderful orchestration by Arthur Morton. Thank you very much, my dear PRMancini007.
I'd never heard The Wild Rovers score before watching this. Think I have to get another Goldsmith album now...

@jslasher1 Who are you? are you a composer did you work in films in the 70s
Loved the movie and the brilliant score. Miss Bill Holden.
R.I.P Goldsmith.
excellent, totally eclectic if you consider his scores for stagecoach and hour of the gun.
Those scores were great, but I love this one the most
Beautiful as is the movie. My favorite western. Bill Holden was great.
Jerry was one of a kind, his type of music will never be heard in Hollywood again, now it's all Hans Zimmer.
I take it you're not a fan of Hans Zimmer?
Not particularly but some of his work is good but only some.

There are some good scores here and there but I agree the quality has declined considerably since that time.

Hail The Maestro!
Thanks Pal...
i wish there was a vid of him when he did total recall man that would be epic, if there is such a vid someone please tell me if you find it!
I hate to be nitpicky but it's not "THE" Wild Rovers, it is simply "Wild Rovers."
@Brady2k10 simple answer: yes
@avatarnarutochuck it dont matter really u were just nitpicking admit it
@avatarnarutochuck but does it really matter

Very true indeed, he may not have been the best pianist or Conductor but he was and still is one of the greatest composers out there.
