The Soundtracks Of Jerry Goldsmith With The Philharmonia (1988)

"For over four decades, Jerry Goldsmith ranked among the film and television industry's most highly-regarded and prolific composers; at the peak of his activity during the 1960s, he was estimated to have scored an average of about six films annually. Born in Los Angeles, 1929, Goldsmith graduated to the CBS network's music department in 1950. There he composed themes for series including Gunsmoke, Perry Mason and The Twilight Zone before turning to film in 1957, debuting with the score to Black Patch. Goldsmith rose to prominence with 1962's Lonely Are the Brave, and subsequently emerged as one of Hollywood's most prolific composers. Among his credits were such diverse offerings as Planet of the Apes, Chinatown, Poltergeist and Rambo; while nominated for over a dozen Academy Awards, Goldsmith won only one, for 1976's The Omen. Additionally, he regularly toured concert halls, performing his music and conducting the likes of the San Diego Symphony and Britain's Royal Philharmonic." (Allmusic)
