I can confidently say this is my favorite new Goldsmith recording since Intrada's 1989 LSO recording of Rio Conchos and The Artist Who Did Not Want to Paint. (I'm super grateful for the Tadlows, especially The Salamander and QBVII... but this is even better!)
I can't wait for everyone else to hear this new recording as well. Until then, here's a big something to tide you all over, featuring substantial sound clips:
https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com ... -recordingThis was recorded a mere three weeks after the October sessions in Scotland, with guests Douglass Fake, Roger Feigelson, and Jeff Johnson of Intrada, plus reconstructionist extraordinaire Leigh Phillips and conductor William Stromberg. I planned it as a two hour conversation but everyone was having such a great time talking about the recording that it grew into over three hours, with the third hour having some of the most fun exchanges between the participants. At the time we recorded this, David and I hadn't heard any of the new recording beyond what was shared on social media, so we couldn't call this a Soundtrack Spotlight. But we ended up waiting until January to edit this behemoth, so we were able to incorporate substantial excerpts of the new recording throughout!
I hope everyone enjoys this one-of-a-kind look behind the scenes of a monumental new Goldsmith recording.
