Chinatown Soundtrack 1974
On 21st July 2004, the world of film music suffered an irreparable, devastating loss when Jerry Goldsmith passed away at the age of 75. A titan of the medium and one of the all-time great film music pioneers, Goldsmith was able to turn his hand to every genre, from horror (The Omen) to comedy (Gremlins) to sci-fi (Total Recall). And when it comes to his greatest achievements, Goldsmith’s score for classic 1974 noir Chinatown is at the very forefront.
One of Jerry Goldsmith’s all-time most important soundtracks is expanded at last! Roman Polanski’s landmark, Academy Award-winning Chinatown left 1974 audiences (and other film makers) with an impact that still reverberates to this day. Stars Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston, writer Robert Towne, producer Robert Evans… all found themselves together, making the film of a lifetime! Sharing in that spotlight of success was composer Jerry Goldsmith, fashioning one of the most successful – and innovative – scores of a prolific and remarkably brilliant career.
