    There are not many sci-fi love themes that truly sound as though they've come down from the stars. This one is a rare treasure, and probably my favorite of all such music.

    I just watched the Director's Edition on Blu-Ray last week and this theme has been haunting me. It's so lush, so gorgeous, so pure in its Golden Era Hollywood romance and I am HERE FOR IT.

    No matter whether you liked the film or not, this is without question one of Goldsmith's greatest scores. This piece is wonderful and displays the composer's superb writing for strings. The music for the Klingon attack at the film's beginning is another highlight of this magnificent achievement.

      This. At 2:10 it goes from "the romance theme" to feeling much more about exploration - which really fits the movie as a whole.

    • @iceomistar4302

      @@SergioHardasmal It depends, Jerry and John were two very different composers and two different people. Jerry was always more interested in the textural and timbral aspects of music whilst John Williams focused more on melody, Jerry has John beat when it comes to creating interesting sounds but Williams has a grasp of the orchestra and melody like no other, few modern mainstream film composers have the experience or training that Jerry and John had. John Williams was also a virtuoso Pianist in his youth, Goldsmith though no slouch in that regard can't play the way Williams can. But they were almost equals it's hard to say, I hold Jerry in the same league as Williams.

    I'd swear, Jerry Goldsmith was channeling Sergei Rachmaninoff when he wrote this. It has Rach's chops, his flair for orchestrating for strings (and NO ONE wrote for strings the way Rach did!). Of all the cuts on the soundtrack, this is the one I go for again and again.
    Thanks a lot for putting this up!
