With THE JERRY GOLDSMITH COLLECTION – VOLUME 2: PIANO SKETCHES, BuySoundtrax Records presents the music of one of Hollywood’s finest musical practitioners translated into the intimate medium of solo piano, arranged and performed by a trio of expert pianists: Dan Redfeld, Joohyun Park, and Mark Northam. Each of these players comes from a somewhat different background and brings a unique style to the keyboard, yet all share a profound respect for the composer which is evident in their respectful transliteration of his music onto the piano. As author Randall Larson describes in his liner notes, “Distilling Goldsmith’s often thunderous film music into such a focused medium as solo piano is a challenging undertaking, until one remembers that Goldsmith himself was a pianist and performed piano solos on several of his own scores.”
