Suite to the often overlooked film The Boys From Brazil . Score by Jerry Goldsmith , starring Gregory Peck Laurence Olivier and James Mason . Produced in 1978 .
My girlfriend and I was walking across the Luitpoldhain Park/Arena(Germany....) July 2019, the day before Classic Open Air Nürenberg was being held. Without us, tourists from Norway, as we were, knowing anything about this event, except for the fact that this was historical grounds if you are interested in WW2/SS/Nazis/Aryan Race/etc., when the sound-engineer suddenly put on the soundtrack to T.B.F.B. to check the P.A.-system.....I had goosebumps from my hemorroids to my eyebrowes in less than a sec. I am still not 100% sure if they are all gone. Having watched the movie x amount of times, gotten spellbound by the music, being drawned into the whole atmosphere....it`s just something that "they" does not do anymore. You just cannot put a "Gregory Peck-look-a-like" in front of a greenscreen, add some sampled music from who-ever, construct a fake historic event etc., which is almost what is being done today in 99% of all movies, and believe that the atmosphere, the ambience, the sinistre feeling, will be anywhere NEAR this classical masterpiece of moving pictures and musical notes put together. - "They don`t build`em like they used to, anymore." -
Goldsmith's music is smooth, always full of sound, and he doesn't just follow the movie scenes literally. Him and John Williams are the best modern composers. You have to go back to Ben Hur 1959 to beat them.
Since i was 8 yo i haved this score more than any other now 50 i lovd it even more. " Your not a prison guard now MADAM' WHAT A MOVIE AND SCORE.... Tony from Edinburgh / Scotland.
Tony Williamson : I believe the whole complete saying goes like this. " YOU ARE NOT A GUARD NOW MADAM. YOU ARE A PRISONER. NOW I MAY LEAVE HERE EMPTY HANDED. BUT YOU MADAM ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE." Great movie quote by the late great legendary British actor Sir Laurence Olivier.
It may be blaspemy to utter, but i think Jerry is just abit above John with his ability to nail so many differnt flavors of genres. His overlapping the feel of the late 30's/early 40's into "present" is so errie and is his ability to carry the tension of the story. LOL, he gives waltzes a bad name!
While I've listened more to Goldsmith than Williams over the last 25 years.... the world of film was fortunate to have both men for so long. I wouldn't want to hear either composer score 90% of the other's films.
@@jimmymac9843 that doesent Mean anythingh John Williams Is a Genius, and Jerry Goldsmith to. The film industry was really fortunate to have both of them.
Not only was Goldsmith more versatile and original than Williams (and everybody else); the former also -- and crucially -- was a (considerably) more incisive dramatist. Goldsmith's scores have a narratively appropriate thematic synergy to them that Williams' scores -- often patchwork quilt-like and thematically eclectic -- rarely did. Jerry Goldsmith was the total package: compositionally gifted, creative, dynamic, and a marvelous musical storyteller (the best ever, really). Playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers, he was, as BOYS' Oscar-winning director Franklin Schaffner himself asserted, in a league all his own.
It is a fiendishly clever arrangement of the Johann Strauss Blue Danube Waltz as if Richard Strauss (not relation) had composed it. The beat is also deceptive. More like a hybrid 3/4 and 4/4 beat.
Alex North was Goldsmith's favorite composer and listening hear a little bit of a cue from Cleopatra. Very small but I heard it. Goldsmith is my favorite film compser; North is one of my favorites as well.
Thanks for clarifying the Waltz - I assumed it was an allusion to J. Strauss (an Austrian...so the R.Strauss draws a closer connection...and the Ravel - of course, I should have known! A waltz about the collapse of civilization). Later in the suite note the allusions to Wagner (a noted anti-semite and darling of Mr. Schickelgruber, for those who did not know) as well. What's brilliant is that G-smith CAN make these shrewd musical allusions - that's his whole point. So, not only does knowing the influence not detract from the brilliance - it amplifies it.
MUY BUENA PELICULA Y MEJOR SOUNDTRACK, GRAN ELENCO DE INTERPRETES Y MUY ADECUADA LA ORQUESTACION DE LA BANDA SONORA DE JERRY GOLDSMITH. GRACIAS. MUY BUENO!!!...
Goldsmith is as great since "The Man from UNCLE" soundtrack here. And the main piece could be summorized and also called "Der Führerwaltz". The music here is as intryguing as the movie.
The title music appears to be a delightfully macabre musical joke. The basic theme is Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz" scored as if it were composed by Richard Strauss. Both men are not related. Going further, Johann was Jewish. Richard was said to have Nazi leanings. Very clever! Makes me feel like dancing and prancing.
The two influences I hear are R. Strauss' Rosenkavalier Waltz and Ravel's La Valse. But this doesn't detract one bit from the brilliance of this soundtrack. By the way, R. Strauss was NOT a Nazi; his son's wife was Jewish, and The Strauss family had trouble with the regime.
Arc Light Though crude, in this world being or not being (insert race, religion, sex or whatever) does make a difference to (insert, race, religion, sex or whatever). Enjoy the music.
I was fooled honestly and didn't realize it was something Jerry Goldsmith composed for years. But, he sure imitated and parodied the Viennese waltz, Wagnerian elements of it well.
Musica affascinante ,un valzer accoppiato agli orrori del nazismo che purtroppo l'incredibile soundtrack non è supportato dal film poco più che mediocre.
it takes alot of imagination and dedication in order to make a production of this movie, when it comes financial business. Beside this classic British-American film of The Boys from Brazil shows the most historic and scientific facts of Dr. Mengele creating 94 clones of Hitler during WWII before he settled on 10 countries heading down to South America in Brazil,
Do you mean the track "Everybody Runs," when he is hopping over the roofs of the mag-lift cars on the vertical freeway? Both this and that are great pieces of music :D
This recording is missing the title music! Missing the bridge and then coda to the waltz. Really would like to hear JUST the title music, which is a complete waltz.
Gregory Peck portrayed the Joseph Mengele of popular culture: He wore a white suit, had a jungle fortress, along with minions to do his biding. The real Joseph Memgele kept a low Profile.
the beginning of this music reminds me of the Joker's theme in Batman (1988); Waltz of Death. But that theme are excellent also. El principio de está música me recuerda el tema del Joker en Batman 1(988): el vals de la Muerte. Pero ambos son excelentes
otherwise known as hitlers kids - a scary thought / proper scary with the dogs near the end even though gregory peck gets his deserved comeuppance .........
This sounds fuck all like Capricorn one it may have ripped some classical bits but you need to bare in mind all modern soundtracks sound like me farting
I grew up during this period (and I was fortunate to hear Golsmith's and Williams' scores of this period in the cinema) and I do think there is more of a carry over (more than usual for Goldsmith) in terms of the specific sounds of the brass and strings in 1978 and 1979. I'm thinking of 'The First Great Train Robbery', 'Star Trek - TMP', 'Capricorn One' and 'The Boys From Brazil'. The scores are all distinct from each other, but the exact sound of the brass and strings is at times similar. I'm quite happy about that because Goldsmith's composing and orchestration in 1978 to 1979 is among his greatest.
+Roger Wilco All composers, John Barry, Henry Mancini , Maurice Jarre, Leonard Rosenman, Bernard Hermann, etc, have a distinct sound of their own that comes out in all their music.
PETERSOLARI I thought Olivier carried off the honors for most wretched performance- a caricature of Jewish mannerisms and speech. Such ethnic misjudgments were something of a specialty with him. I'm thinking in particular of his eye-rolling burnt cork impersonation of Othello and his equally comic Mahdi in "Khartoum" opposite Charlton Heston. Still, I can't say Olivier was miscast, since the producers chose him for precisely those qualities of performance.
Make no mistake, this is genius.
100%
One of my all time favourite Goldsmith scores, waltzes, scherzos, marches, wielded into a dark fantasia that is uniquely the Masters own. Thank you.
JERRY GOLDSMITH IS WHAT I ALWAYS CONSIDERED TO BE THE KING OF SOUNDTRACK COMPOSERS .
Y8.d3
not necessarily. Highly skilled though.
He's my second favorite.
You're damn right.
Producers and directors must have thought pretty highly of him. Few have scored more films and TV programs. Prolific to say the least.

Priceless.
One of Mr. Goldsmith’s best. May he RIP.
Versatile!

Damn right
Music was a lot better than the movie!
This is one of my favourite Jerry Goldsmith film scores..it's so classy and dramatic.
Roger has got it. The Wagnerian German Peck and the Straussian Vienna Jew Olivier...fighting in the music. And, as Hector said: genius.
Goosebumps stuff, as expected from the great Maestro. Tremendous score!
Since i was 8 yo i haved this score more than any other now 50 i lovd it even more. " Your not a prison guard now MADAM' WHAT A MOVIE AND SCORE.... Tony from Edinburgh / Scotland.

Classic Goldsmith. Jerry was a true master of the artform of scoring films.
It may be blaspemy to utter, but i think Jerry is just abit above John with his ability to nail so many differnt flavors of genres. His overlapping the feel of the late 30's/early 40's into "present" is so errie and is his ability to carry the tension of the story. LOL, he gives waltzes a bad name!
Absolutely right....!

Jerry Goldsmith wins. No contest. Williams recycles Holst ad nauseum.

Outstanding paraphrase of Richard Strauss music! :)
Extraordinary! Unfairly relegated in the grand prizes.
No me canso de escuchar este precioso vals y su leitmotiv es inspirador ...volveremos!!!
Wir wollen Weider Waffen!!
This main them is such a beauitiful waltz for such a dark theme in the movie...still...genius!
It is a fiendishly clever arrangement of the Johann Strauss Blue Danube Waltz as if Richard Strauss (not relation) had composed it. The beat is also deceptive. More like a hybrid 3/4 and 4/4 beat.
Based on Richard Strauss and Johann Strauss themes. SO CLEVER!
you're quite welcome.........and thank YOU for letting us hear this glorious music from Jerry Goldsmith.
Fantastic soundtrack from a master! Argentina beckons when the horns just explode

More like combining the two Devilishly Clever!
Great sound band¡¡¡ and great movie¡¡¡

It's not John Williams who deserves these comparisons. It's Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, Miklos Rozsa, and - especially - Bernard Herrmann.
Absolutely, positively amazing.

And 3 years later still nobody gives a shit about that irrelevant NaziJewRichardJohannWhataboutism-crap ...
@Johann Schultz Thanks, amico. :)
Yep! Feel the same way even thought I changed my alias!
@@svenadam1692 Hokey movie, but great title music. That's all I care about. And the danged clever ethnic musical joke. :)
Oy Gevalt, even the beat is deceptive. Sounds like a waltz with a 4/4 beat. ahahaha. Love this fiendishly clever title tune!
Beautiful.

Learn to listen carefully. hahaha
Learn to listen. That is what your ear-brain connection is for. hahaha
I was fooled honestly and didn't realize it was something Jerry Goldsmith composed for years. But, he sure imitated and parodied the Viennese waltz, Wagnerian elements of it well.
A drop dead gorgeous arrangement! He could also have taken a Nazi 4/4 march and transposed it to 3/4! hahaha
I found a mistake in the movie it was supposed to be Paraguay but they showed the ocean and Paraguay is land lock.
Goldsmiths Soundtrack gave a 5 out of ten movie a 9 out of ten rating....
Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck tingle......
Yes...YES...YES!!!!!
You can hear Wagner's Ring through out
Reminds me of the Curb theme
Yes! Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier come back to life.
No. Listen again. hahaha

the film was sometimes very good and well done, but Peck was very miscast, and the ending is bad.

Still, I can't say Olivier was miscast, since the producers chose him for precisely those qualities of performance.
No. He wasn't miscast. It was an excellent performance. He was cast against his usual good guy type.
There is a picture of mengele that looks like the mengele from the movie.
