Oh, he is. I cannot scientifically (or music theoretically) prove it, but it just is so.
Eat your hearts out Korngold, Hermann, Goldsmith and young generation.
I myself actually also think that Jerry Goldsmith is 1 of the Top 10 Greatest Movie Music Composers of All-Time.
J Goldsmith is definitely even one of the top 5. But I personally have resoved for myself that J Williams is the greater genius of both.
Not in scope mind you, ranging from experiemental PotA/Alien to grandious classical StarTrek 1 score, and so much in between, Goldsmith is the more nuanced composer.
But facing William's masterworks, it's a little bit like A Salieri against W.A Mozart, or at least Lv Beethoven against Mozart (though I like Beethoven better).
