Sand Pebbles (2CD expanded edition)

CD (Item 597964) 20th Century/Intrada, 1966 — Condition: New Copy

A really striking score from Jerry Goldsmith – penned with just the right sense of drama and tension for this mid 60s military thriller! Goldsmith's already working here with a full palette of colors – and Lionel Newman conducts the music with an added richness that seems to bring out all of his long experience on big budget epics, yet deliver the end results with the more subtle, compressed modes that make Goldsmith one of the more mature composers of the 60s. Horns shimmer with this great sense of restraint – almost painting colors in sound – and given the setting of the film, there's some slight exotic hints in a few instrumental passages as well. Expanded 2CD edition is amazing – the full film score, plus source music, and additional tracks as well – making for a whopping 50 selections in all. Titles include "Fire Aft", "Not In Vain", "Death Of A Thousand Cuts", "Trial Run", "Hello Engine", "The San Pablo", "The Wedding", "Coolies Jump Ship", "Jake & Shirley", "Night Mission", "A Crushing Affair", and "Restless Months".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
