5.0 out of 5 stars Jerry Goldsmith's Restored "Wind and the Lion", August 28, 2007

Finally, Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful score for The Wind and the Lion (1975), one of the best films directed by John Milius, comes to us in virtually its full form from Intrada. The new two-disc set is about as perfect as can be expected with one disc devoted to almost the full restored score for the film, and a second disc with the original soundtrack as produced by Arista, and a good deal of source music. The second disc is something of a collector's item while the true treasure is the full score on disc one. Intrada has done an incredible job in producing the music and presenting a beautiful package with ample notes and photos. All of that said we turn to Goldsmith's music. Intertwining Middle Eastern and Americana motifs to represent the two major figures portrayed in the film, Theodore Roosevelt and Raisuli-the Lord of the Riff, Goldsmith wrote one of the most engaging and thrilling scores of his career. The main theme awakens all of the romantic daydreams that anyone has ever had about the Middle East which really is exactly what this film was all about in the first place. A fine romantic theme is in place as well along with numerous action pieces, but it is Goldsmith's characterization of the last of the Berber bandits and the free-spirited TR, the lion and the wind if you will, that make this score so endearing. The sweeping opening theme appears throughout the score in various forms (compare the main titles' presentation with the subdued interpretation while the Raisuli tells stories at the camp fire) while an equally heroic theme represents Roosevelt with a strong sense of Western Americana (note especially the Yellowstone music). Nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score, Goldsmith lost out to yet another legendary composer and score: John Williams' Jaws. We have waited a long time for this production and it does not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal!, April 7, 2009

In a word, PHENOMENAL! One of the greatest soundtracks of all time and truly an inspired piece of artistry. I recently saw the movie again and found both the movie and especially the soundtrack have held up well nearly 30 years later. Probably Jerry Goldsmith's best and truly tragic that he didn't win the Academy Award in 1975 for this score (he lost to John Williams' "Jaws"). Personally, I find this score has held up over time much better. A true joy to listen to...I never get tired of it.

As with the Alien release, the presentation of the score is superb, with the first CD representing the complete, chronological score, and the second CD the original Album presentation from the Album master, with additional source cues arranged by Alexander Courage.

The liner notes are extensive, around 30 pages, and include a cue-by-cue breakdown, details of the score and the film's production, as well as some details on how this release came about.

Due to the age and quality of the master tapes, the sound quality is slightly archival, but the mastering within these limitations is of a high standard.

For Goldsmith fans, the score needs no introduction, and this CD comes highly recommended.
