Jerry Goldsmith so disliked scoring Stephen Sommers’ The Mummy that he refused to do the sequel. Step forward Silvestri who delivered one of his most gargantuan and enjoyable epics. There’s little time for subtlety in this rich blend of Egyptian instrumentation, massive choir and orchestra-shredding battle sequences, but Silvestri has always been o...
This ’80s family classic is scorched into the minds of an entire generation, no doubt due to repeat bank holiday viewings. Silvestri created one of his most memorable electronic compositions for the movie: composed entirely on the Synclavier, it moves from era-appropriate pop instrumental to a yearning sense of longing. That Silvestri is able to ca...
Criticised at the time of release for sounding too similar to Forrest Gump, Silvestri’s Contactscore, much like the movie itself, has increased in stature over the years. As befits the lofty themes of the movie (adapted from Carl Sagan’s book), this is a more melancholy, pensive and expansive score, albeit very much in the Silvestri orchestral moul...
Robert Zemeckis’ technically audacious live-action/cartoon hybrid remains a miracle to this day, mashing up our favourite animated characters with a sly Bob Hoskins murder mystery. It’s a complex movie that demands a multi-faceted score, with Silvestri having to make numerous tonal changes and keep multiple themes in check. From the frenetic toon m...
Silvestri’s first (and, to date, only) Oscar nomination for Best Score came for Robert Zemeckis’ smash-hit comedy-drama, one of the movie sensations of 1994. It’s a sprawling, picaresque tale as seen through the eyes of Tom Hanks’ naive central character, and Silvestri makes the sensible decison to ground the music in his emotional awakening, rathe...
Superhero scores were in a rough way in the early noughties, with the melodic impetus of John Williams’ Superman and Danny Elfman’s Batman seemingly not in vogue. Kudos then to director Joe Johnston who realised his nostalgically tinged origin story required a composer whose sound owed more to Hollywood’s Golden Age. By anchoring his Captain Americ...
Jun 10, 2021 · Soapdish was the only professional collaboration between director Hoffman and Silvestri – his usual composer was James Newton Howard – but the resulting soundtrack was a memorable one, especially for anyone who enjoys lounge jazz and Latin influences in their film scores.
