This long-awaited release marks the first appearance of the
classic
score for Chinatown on compact disc. The re-issue is a
straightforward
presentation of the original album including the same tracks,
sequencing
and cover art. The listener should be aware that the original
album
combined some cues for listening purposes and used takes that
differed
from some of those heard in the actual film. Production
details aside,
the recording is a complete account of one of the composer's
most
memorable scores. Goldsmith is as modest as he is gifted, but
when
pressed he is willing to admit that "Chinatown is one of my
favorite
scores and one of my favorite pictures." For his artistry and
effort on
Chinatown, Jerry Goldsmith was recognized by his peers with
his seventh
Academy Award nomination.
