World premiere recordings of two elusive Jerry Goldsmith scores! Legendary composer creates his very first theatrical film score with Black Patch, low-key 1957 western for Warner Bros. with George Montgomery, Leo Gordon, Sebastien Cabot, Diane Brewster. Allen Miner directs, Gordon scripts, effective black & white photography by Edward Colman (of Mary Poppins fame.) Original session elements are missing in action, but happily Goldsmith’s manuscript scores survive unscathed, allowing full reconstruction of musician parts for all-new recording made in October 2021. Composer scores for standard orchestra but omits trumpets, lending finished work a brooding, darker edge. Extremely well-written music offers masterful architecture from the get-go, a Goldsmith trademark. Several motifs work together, independently both in full and in fragmentary form. Dramatic ideas abound but centerpiece is haunting theme for three principal characters forming romantic triangle. Story element finds all three people care for each other, lending tragic overtones to the drama. Goldsmith reflects sadness with moving minor-key theme, heard sparingly yet very memorably, particularly during “Love Reunited” and masterfully for the “Finale”, especially in extended version prepared by Leigh Phillips. Shorter film version also included. Another highlight is energetic “The Fight”, which offers listeners Goldsmith’s very first movie action cue! Also fun to note several ideas that become Goldsmith signatures throughout his career: Aggressive rhythms instead of musical chaos and dissonance to highlight action, staccato left-hand piano figures, recurring motifs creating solid musical architecture, vivid snare drum writing, many others. Complete 35-minute score plays first, then Goldsmith’s brief but powerful 1972 score for The Man unfolds. Here, James Earl Jones leads cast as first African American President of the United States. Rod Serling scripts from Irving Wallace best-seller, Joseph Sargent directs. Goldsmith scores for orchestra with substantial brass section but this time drops violins, leaving violas as his upper string sonority. Gentle phrases do make appearances but it is dynamic, imposing brass fanfares and Americana vernacular that dominates. Magnificent highlights include music for scenes of iconic Lincoln Memorial, White House, presidential portraits in the Oval Office plus powerhouse opening and closing credits. Complete 16-minute score authentically reconstructed by Leigh Phillips in spectacular fashion. Simon Rhodes captures every detail in crisp recording, authoritative performance by William T. Stromberg leading Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Frank DeWald provides informative liner notes, Jim Titus offers dramatic artwork to compliment Intrada’s previous Dial M For Murder recording. Kickstarter campaign yields vital addition to ever-growing library of Goldsmith film music recordings! Two sensational albeit vastly contrasting Jerry Goldsmith film scores given definitive performances!

クラウドファンディング成功により再録音されついCD化！ジェリー・ゴールドスミスの初めての劇場作品（1957年）の西部劇「片目のシェリフ」と1972年の近未来ドラマ「ザ・マン／大統領の椅子」（1972年）をカップリング収録。マスターテープが紛失していましたが幸いなことに手書きの楽譜が残っており、それを基に昨年2021年に新たに録音されました。スタンダード・オーケストラのためのスコアだが、トランペットが省略されているため、陰鬱で暗い雰囲気の作品に仕上がっている。非常によく書かれた音楽は、ゴールドスミスのトレードマークである、冒頭からの見事な構成を見せている。いくつかのモチーフは、完全な形でも断片的な形でも独立して、一緒に機能している。ドラマチックなアイデアはたくさんあるが、中心は三角関係を形成する3人の主要登場人物のための心にしみるテーマである。3人がお互いを思いやることで、ドラマに悲劇的な色合いを与えている。特に「Love Reunited」、「Finale」では、リー・フィリップスによる拡大版で非常に印象的に聴かせてくれる。映画使用版のショートバージョンも収録しています。もうひとつのハイライトは、ゴールドスミスが初めて手がけた映画のアクションキューを聴くことができる、エネルギッシュな「The Fight」です。また、ゴールドスミスのキャリアを通じて、いくつかのアイデアが彼の特徴となっているのも興味深い。音楽的な混乱や不協和音の代わりに攻撃的なリズムでアクションを強調する、スタッカートの左手ピアノ・フィギュア、繰り返されるモチーフによる強固な音楽構成、鮮やかなスネア・ドラミング、その他多数。『片目のシェリフ』の35分のコンプリートスコアから始まり、次はゴールドスミスの1972年の短くも力強い『ザ・マン／大統領の椅子』のスコアが展開されます。ジェームズ・アール・ジョーンズがアフリカ系アメリカ人初の大統領に扮し、キャストをリードする。アーヴィン・ウォレスのベストセラーをロッド・サーリングが脚本、ジョセフ・サージェントが監督した。ゴールドスミスは、オーケストラのために、充実したブラスセクションで作曲したが、今回はヴァイオリンを減らし、ヴィオラを上弦のソノリティとして残している。穏やかなフレーズも登場するが、ダイナミックで堂々とした金管のファンファーレとアメリカーナの風土が支配的である。リンカーン記念館、ホワイトハウス、大統領執務室の肖像画、オープニングとクロージング・クレジットなど、象徴的なシーンの音楽も素晴らしい。リー・フィリップスの手により、16分のスコアが忠実に再現されています。サイモン・ローズによる鮮明な録音、ウィリアム・T・ストロンバーグ率いるロイヤル・スコティッシュ・ナショナル管弦楽団による権威ある演奏が細部に至るまで再現されています。キックスターター・キャンペーンにより、ゴールドスミスの映画音楽ライブラリーに新たな1枚が加わる ジェリー・ゴールドスミスの映画音楽は、全く対照的でありながら、センセーショナルな2作品が決定版として演奏されました。
