In the last few seconds as the music fades out you can hear a voice. You can't make out what's being said but you can definitely hear a few spoken words.
Well, there's Goldsmith heard humming breifly with a cue from "Rudy" (the end credits?).
One of the "Knight Rider" volumes has slate numbers called out before some of the cues.
Some of La La Land Records bonus or Easter eggs contain people talking, like:
"Batman: The Animated Series" (Volume 1): Shirley Walker explaning her theme and how it works and can work with Elfman's, also demonstrating it on a piano.
"Superman: The Animated Series": an Easter egg has Walker talking to the orchestra -- apparently6 after about 30 episodes, Warner Bros. thought that would be enough and they could just track the rest of the episodes.
Jerry Goldsmith on 'End Credits' performance on RIO CONCHOS (Re-recording_Intrada reissue cd. STAR WARS 2CD has studio chatter in the various takes of the Main Title (appended on disc 2 as an Easter egg) and Kevin Costner on LLL's DANCES WITH WOLVES requesting the percussion section to perform a certain way..[disc 2 bonus cues]
Star Trek Nemisis : Goldsmith introduces Stuard Baird to the orchestra Also on the Superman Blu Ray (additional music tracks in the extras) you can hear JW talking before the alternate main title is recorded)
I don't know if this counts, but doesn't the 'DIRTY HARRY' soundtrack have some chatter after the flubbed take of the "Scorpio" music at the end of the disc? I think the vocalist laughs and apologizes after her voice breaks....
1.) Conductor Alfred Newman's classic comment at the end of the Varese LES MISERABLES disc where he says (either about the composer -North- or about the orchestra), "You're so wonderful"
2. The comments by Bernard Herrmann during the THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL outtakes.
In the ST:TMP's 30th anniversary issue, one outtake of the main theme performance has Goldsmith talking very fast and complaining about his coffee. Well, he mentions it, anyway.
This is a bit like trying to read an entire person's thoughts out of one facial expression, but it's a fascinating thread subject.
On the CD that accompanies the text "Case History Of A Film Score: The Thorn Bird Birds" you can hear Mancini counting off the orchestra on some tracks.
