"Looks like Silva was reading the reviews of the MUCH, MUCH superior set (referenced below) they released in 2005, in which a few reviewers noted the absence of Goldsmith's score to Planet of the Apes, well one year later and we get it on this truncated compilation. A shame it was not recorded in time for the much superior 4 disc box. This is a nice intro to the late maestro, but skip this and spring for the four disc set they released in 2005, which has pretty much everything they recorded in Prague up to that point, except for a few Star Trek and Rambo cues, and some other cues they recorded before they owend rights to the Philharmonia recordings.



Jerry Goldsmith: 40 Years of Film Music



Again, this is a nice intro for Goldsmith and if you want it as your freebie in part of amazon's 4-for-3 deal, that would be okay, but if you want to be exposed to the best of the maestro--Go for the one linked above."

"Another big score gets in there and hits a homerun as Silva America once again has outdone themselves with "Film Music Masterworks by Jerry Goldsmith", all the splendor of this composer on 12 Tracks ... Goldsmith creates visual moods for each film he scores ... with over 50 years of outstanding film and television themes to his credit ... filled with action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on...Every track moves you --- Each cue comes back with a memory as the proceeding track ends --- It flows naturally and perfectly from track to track ... If you're looking for a piece of music to capture your heart and a deeper meaning of the film...you've found it...Silva Screen's release traces several decades of film music...featuring "The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra" --- conducted by Mr. Jerry Goldsmith, Mr. Paul Bateman, Mr. James Fitzpatrick and Mr. Nic Raine (as always outstanding)...performing 12 selections, close to a full hour of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!
