レビュー (Amazon)
Although filmed in colour, Roman Polanski's masterpiece Chinatown (1974) is marinated in the dramatics of 1940's film noir. Composer Jerry Goldsmith was hired when another musician's score was rejected at the last minute, leaving him only ten days to write and record this short but undeniably classic score. Written for strings, four pianos, four harps, guiro, and solo trumpet, Chinatown employs advanced harmonic language and avant-garde performance techniques. The composer's only concession to the 1930's period setting is his love theme for gumshoe Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) and femme fatale Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway). First heard over the main credits in a lovely blues performance by trumpet-player Uan Rasey, Goldsmith's theme evokes a bygone era and a man haunted by his past. Varese Sarabande's presentation is a direct re-issue of the original album including the same sequencing and cover art. The disc is a rare example of songs, standards (including Bunny Berigan's "I Can't Get Started"), and an original score working together to form a completely successful listening experience. --Kevin Mulhall
