Speaking of Goldsmith and aerial battles, there’s THE BLUE MAX. The film is not really a classic, true, but the score is considered so, I think – especially within film music circles. But I can’t stand it. Sold the CD years ago, and don’t regret it for a second.

I got the Tadlow rerecording and just like Lawrence of Arabia I love it mainly for all the suites from other movies on disc 2.

Apart from John Williams I found that I am at maximum interested in about 60% of the work of any film composer. But when I realized that CDs are particularly becoming rare I did some kind of blind panic buys of scores I never heard before. Sometimes I was lucky and liked it but often enough these scores ended up just filling my shelve and I grant them some kind of collector value.
