Search - Jerry Goldsmith :: First Knight: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Hail, King Goldsmith

""First Knight" is one of the most triumphant scores ever written by Jerry Goldsmith. The theme for Arthur -or Camelot, according to the way you want to put it -is spectacular, touching, and catchy. The love theme is bittersweet, yet very romantic.

But what makes me give this album four stars is its length. At forty minutes, you get to hear Arthur's theme triumphantly, together with the love theme, in 'Camelot Lives' and 'Promise Me', and a piece of spectacular battle music for orchestra and chorus in 'Arthur's Farewell'. However, there is music missing in the album, you feel like kinda incomplete. This is a great Jerry Goldsmith composition that truly deserves an expanded edition."

Exellent Goldsmith Score

"First Knight is one of the late Jerry Goldsmith's most successful scores. In the movie it makes the film much more compelling and helps the movie to rise above a mediocre script, and as a cd it makes for a great if short listening experience. It is among the top scores composed by Goldsmith and one of the most recent to contain no electronic instruments. Anyway, I highly recommend this music to anyone who enjoys a good score ;)."
