This interview was conducted by Eleni Mitsiaki, Editor-in-Chief of Kinetophone.
CITY LIGHTS and KINETOPHONE proudly presented a spectacular radio event: RECONSTRUCTING JERRY GOLDSMITH. This special broadcast was dedicated to rediscovering the sheer majesty, innovation, and timelessness of one of cinema’s greatest musical masters. By looking closely at the reconstruction of foundational scores like The Salamander, QB VII, Hour of the Gun, and The Red Pony, the showcase explored exactly what it takes to breathe new, vibrant life into legendary film music.
To pull back the curtain on this intricate preservation process, the event featured exclusive interviews with three of the industry’s finest minds:
- Nic Raine — Acclaimed conductor and orchestrator
- Leigh Phillips — Renowned composer and orchestrator
- James Fitzpatrick — Award-winning album producer and founder of Tadlow Music
Together, they shared their insights on reconstructing these intricate pieces, alongside the world premiere of a special SALAMANDER – KINETOPHONE SUITE arranged specifically for this showcase by Leigh Phillips. It was a profound journey into the architecture of Jerry Goldsmith’s genius.
