It is different, however, in the approach taken towards the film. In some people's opinion, this makes Stagecoach an interesting, if not unique Goldsmith score. The main theme serves as a weak preview of the pretty and memorable theme for Wild Rovers . The selections from The Loner actually have more thematic material to build on. However, of all of Goldsmith's westerns, Stagecoach is my least favorite.
Stagecoach purposely avoids such outbursts from the orchestra.
I was also a bit disappointed by the sound quality of this release. It sounds minimally better than the Tsunami and Mainstream releases, although it is still far behind the quality of the Intrada releases of Goldsmith's other westerns composed within the same few years. On the other hand, the insert notes by Jeff Bond and Lukas Kendall, as can be expected, are brilliant. Overall, this release isn't for everyone. FSM beautifully packaged and produced this release, but in my opinion, they simply chose the wrong one to release.
