Music reviews of The Wind and the Lion
Music Review: Jerry Goldsmith's Restored "Wind and the Lion"
Rating: 5 Stars
Finally, Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful score for The Wind and the Lion (1975), one of the best films directed by John Milius, comes to us in virtually its full form from Intrada. The new two-disc set is about as perfect as can be expected with one disc devoted to almost the full restored score for the film, and a second disc with the original soundtrack as produced by Arista, and a good deal of source music. The second disc is something of a collector's item while the true treasure is the full score on disc one. Intrada has done an incredible job in producing the music and presenting a beautiful package with ample notes and photos. All of that said we turn to Goldsmith's music. Intertwining Middle Eastern and Americana motifs to represent the two major figures portrayed in the film, Theodore Roosevelt and Raisuli-the Lord of the Riff, Goldsmith wrote one of the most engaging and thrilling scores of his career. The main theme awakens all of the romantic daydreams that anyone has ever had about the Middle East which really is exactly what this film was all about in the first place. A fine romantic theme is in place as well along with numerous action pieces, but it is Goldsmith's characterization of the last of the Berber bandits and the free-spirited TR, the lion and the wind if you will, that make this score so endearing. The sweeping opening theme appears throughout the score in various forms (compare the main titles' presentation with the subdued interpretation while the Raisuli tells stories at the camp fire) while an equally heroic theme represents Roosevelt with a strong sense of Western Americana (note especially the Yellowstone music). Nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score, Goldsmith lost out to yet another legendary composer and score: John Williams' Jaws. We have waited a long time for this production and it does not disappoint.

Description of The Wind and the Lion
For years one of Intrada's most requested albums was an expansion of Jerry Goldsmith's epic score to the 1975 film The Wind and the Lion. While Intrada had previously re-issued on CD the excellent original LP program, collectors still clamored for more of the score. Now, thanks to the cooperation of Sony BMG, Warner Bros., and Film Score Monthly, Intrada is able to present the definitive presentation of The Wind and the Lion from one of Goldsmith's richest periods on a 2-CD set. The first disc presents the entire score in chronological order, remixed from the original 3-track elements. The second disc presents the 2-track Arista mix LP program everyone has grown familiar with over the years, as well as the source music heard in the film. Some of the highlights on the expanded program heard here for the first time include the fabulous Americana fanfare for brass that accompanies President Roosevelt's afternoon horse gallop; the complex material for "The Blue People" with whom Candace Bergen's character mistakenly seeks refuge when escaping from Raisuli; rich thematic statements during "The Riff/The Well"; and powerful music during "Mercy" -- all bringing exciting new depth to the score. Just as this album is a cooperative effort, so was the film itself -- a co-production between MGM and Columbia Pictures. The Wind and the Lion is a throwback to the spectacle and romance of an earlier era, yet with more than a touch of '70s cynicism. It is based on a 1904 incident in which Teddy Roosevelt supposedly sent US Marines into Morocco to rescue a man kidnapped by a desert chieftain named Mulay Hamid El Raisuli. Writer-Director John Milius was fascinated with the potential of this story, and deemed that "Raisuli and Roosevelt were cut from the same cloth." The film stars Sean Connery, Candace Bergen, John Huston, and Brian Keith. The original elements were stored in the Warner Bros. vaults, the source for many recent CDs by the highly regarded FSM label. It was a natural choice to engage FSM's Lukas Kendall to co-produce this 2-CD set. The elements were in excellent condition and all the power and exotic detail come through with stunning clarity in this new release.Miscellaneous CDs
