First Knight
 

 

This unexpected boot come promo is a fabulous beginning to the year for Goldsmith soundtracks. From the packaging to sound, presentation is at an optimum and that's only the beginning as we are treated to a 77 minute run featuring the complete score from prologue to the end titles compilation. The only oddity is a supposed 'suite' rounding out the CD which does not sound like Goldsmith at all, more like a concert re-recording. However, this can be easily overlooked for it's all those juicy extra cues that excite; Forest Ambush, The Gauntlet and The Abduction of Guinevere to name but a few. Seek this CD out at all costs!
