Goldsmith at 20th Vol. 1 Von Ryan's Express / Blue Max Soundtrack CD Jerry Goldsmith

Goldsmith at 20th Vol. 1 Von Ryan's Express / Blue Max Soundtrack CD Jerry Goldsmith:

We proudly present a new collection of classic Jerry Goldsmith scores for film and television composed for 20^th Century Fox: GOLDSMITH AT 20^th. This collection will feature new authoritative liner notes and unified packaging sure to please avid collectors but also serve as a perfect gateway for listeners experiencing this music for the first time.

Volume 1 is a 2-CD presentation of the composer’s scores from two large-scale period war dramas – 1965’s WWII-era VON RYAN’S EXPRESS, starring Frank Sinatra and Trevor Howard, and directed by Mark Robson, and 1966’s WWI-era THE BLUE MAX, starring George Peppard and James Mason, directed by John Guillermin. Filmmaker Rod Lurie proclaims Goldsmith as “the greatest composer for military films,” and this handsome release more than proves that claim, serving up soaring orchestral might that powerfully enhances these wartime epics.

Both out-of-print scores return here with all-new art design by Jim Titus and new in-depth liner notes by writer Jeff Bond. The 2-CD re-issue is produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S. Bulk, mastered by Daniel Hersch, and is limited to 2000 units.

Look for more “GOLDSMITH AT 20^th” releases coming next year!
