Step into sweeping drama and rich musical storytelling with the original soundtrack to mini-series Danielle Steel’s Zoya (1995) from New Gold Music.

Composed by the acclaimed William Goldstein, Zoya delivers a deeply expressive and emotionally resonant score that captures the scope and intimacy of the beloved mini-series. Goldstein’s music weaves together lush orchestral textures and evocative themes, perfectly underscoring the drama and romance at the heart of the story.

Adding to the prestige of this release is the powerful title theme by the legendary Basil Poledouris, whose unmistakable musical voice brings grandeur and gravitas to the production. His contribution elevates the score into something truly special for collectors and film music enthusiasts alike.

This release offers fans the opportunity to experience the full musical journey of Zoya, many cues presented here for the first time outside the original broadcast.

Composer William Goldstein began his career as an arranger and producer for Motown. He scored every episode of the television series Fame, and subsequently provided soundtracks for several films, including The Quarrel. Goldstein has also worked in television and for Jacques Cousteau, as well as recording solo albums of his material.

This breathtaking soundtrack for the 1995 NBC miniseries Danielle Steel’s Zoya is an emotionally resonant, sweeping orchestral score primarily composed by Goldstein, and which also features a rather powerful, iconic title theme by legendary composer Basil Poledouris.

Furthermore, the score is highly regarded by fans of television music (of which I am most definitely one) for its ability to capture the grandeur, tragedy, and romance of the Countess’s life across several decades. You can almost reach out and touch the lush fabric of the arrangements, which cleverly incorporate excerpts from great Russian composers and ballets, as well as Poledouris’s unmistakable touch, which brings gravitas and a sense of historical scope to the epic narrative.
