Travelling Executioner
Minor 1970 outing highlighting
the extreme variety of Jerry Goldsmith's early career. Executioner
finds the composer in the deep south and features a bluesy gospel
enthused main theme introducing the bizarre title character.
Goldsmith's likable score also highlights the dusty wide open
spaces of this desolate landscape with favourites such as harmonica
and some minor electronics. A particularly delicate love theme
highlights the main orchestral passages and the doomed relationship
of the lead characters. As usual FSM have produced a top notch
looking disc and enjoyable notes plus a loud, proud stereo sound
that's a revelation considering the age of this recording.
Expanded review to follow.
