4.0 out of 5 stars
Goldsmith is a master, October 21, 2011
This review is from: RIO LOBO-Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)
I was watching TCM today and happened upon Rio Lobos. I was immediately struck with the inventiveness of the music. Orchestral but with acoustic and electric guitar and harmonica. Having missed the opening credits I went online and discovered that the composer was Jerry Goldsmith. This came as no surprise. Goldsmith is one of the most eclectic composers in Hollywood. Many film composers can be recognized immediately. Not so much with Goldsmith and in my opinion this is a good thing. His ability to fit the feel of the music to the atmosphere of the movie is unsurpassed. Jerry Goldsmith has been composing music for major films for many years. Although he is probably better known for his more recent works, the track to Rio Lobos (1970)is a masterpiece and well worth hearing.
