No composer was better suited to score a picture than Jerry Goldsmith with L.A. Confidential (1997), director Curtis Hanson’s masterpiece of the James Elroy novel about corruption in 1950s Los Angeles. Not only was a Goldsmith a master of the thriller and crime genres, but his own career started in the era depicted in the film, and he had scored the all-time great detective noir, Chinatown.
L.A. Confidential starred Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Kevin Spacey as police detectives, with Kim Basinger as a Veronica Lake-lookalike prostitute, in a labyrinthine but brilliantly constructed plot connecting city hall and the cops, organized crime, Hollywood tabloids and the gutter. The film received nine Oscar nominations?including for Goldsmith’s score?and won two, for Basinger and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was heralded as an instant classic and, 25 years later, is every bit as captivating.
Goldsmith’s score combines a modern pulse, pace and suspense with period idioms?notably a bluesy trumpet theme, performed by Malcolm McNab, which to Goldsmith represented masculinity. The score distills the 1950s atmosphere of smoke and seediness, as well as a certain bygone era of honor and justice, while making the film ingeniously slick and contemporary?and, as always for Goldsmith, emotional.
L.A. Confidential’s score album was released by Varese Sarabande after the film in 1997. This Deluxe Edition features two programs on one disc: 28 tracks, running 45 minutes, representing the cues heard in the film, followed by the original 11-track, 30-minute score album. New liner notes are by Tim Greiving.

トラックリストこの作品は、ゴールドスミスの作曲を含む9つのアカデミー賞にノミネートされ、ベイシンガーと脚色賞の2部門を受賞した。この映画は名作として知られ、25年経った今でも、その魅力は変わっていない。 ゴールドスミスのスコアは、現代的なパルス、ペース、サスペンスと、当時のイディオム、特にマルコム・マクナブが演奏するブルージーなトランペットのテーマが融合しており、ゴールドスミスにとっては男らしさを表現するものだったのだ。この曲は、1950年代の煙と汚さ、そして名誉や正義といった過ぎ去った時代の雰囲気を抽出し、映画を巧妙かつ現代的に、そしてゴールドスミスのいつものようにエモーショナルに仕上げている。今回のデラックスン・エディションでは、初リリースとなる本編使用のスコアを28曲、45分収録、また従来のアルバムバージョン11曲、30分を一挙収録。
1950年代のロサンゼルス。カフェで元刑事を含む6人の男女が殺される事件が発生し、殺された刑事の元相棒・バドが捜査を開始するが…。
監督：カーティス・ハンソン、出演：ラッセル・クロウ、ガイ・ピアース、ケヴィン・スペイシー。1997年米。
