Rio
Lobo
First official release of
this rare western score from Howard Hawks' last film. Goldsmith
provides his usual south of the border flavoured approach with
a strong and infectious main theme first heard for solo guitar
over opening credits then later with a full orchestral workout.
Comedy elements play a part and generally the action adventure
elements are much lighter than other scores for this genre. But
the combination makes for a smooth listen and the opening tracks
almost play like a well executed suite.
Prometheus have produced another fine collectors release split
between stereo cues provided by the composer and original clean
mono tracks from the UCLA archive.
Expanded review to follow.
