Just out of curiosity: I assume the Academy members are not allowed to sell such FYC content. Is it legitimate to sell the estate?

Celebrating 30 years of being a John Williams fan and collector
alawill75 replied to Sandor's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Thank you for this post, Sandor. Time flies like an arrow, and it's about 30 years for myself after seeing "Born on the 4th of July" in cinema and falling in love with the wonderful Trumpet Solo and String Sound. Shortly after I got a copy of Star Wars on Tape and realized that this was the same composer. The journey started from there, living in a small town in Austria without an adequat CD-shop for Film Music, and - of course - no internet. About 1 - 2 years later I went to Paris with some friends and visited the "Virgin Megastore" at the Champs-Elysees. I was in heaven I spent too much money there (for me beeing about 16 years old) and took about 10 CDs home by train... Since then, I saw JW live in Tanglewood in 2003 and in Vienna in 2020 and could not imagine a life without the music of this genius. BTW, not sure if I got this right... Is there anything special about "Goodbye, Mr. Chips"? -
As Grubinger ended his career this year, I think it's rather safe to say that there won't be a "Percussion Concerto" from JW... And it's also safe to reveal Martin Grubinger as the "secret source". Since the concert did not take place in Vienna, it was rescheduled for a premiere at the "Waldbuehne" with Berlin Philharmonic. Be that as it may: unfortunately I don't know why it didn't come to a performance in the end.

Hi there, our orchestra is doing a concert with music of John Williams and we would like to do a video projection of photos of the maestro and/or movie stills (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Schindlers List). Is there a ressource where to find such photos that one is allowed to use for a official concert, ideally at low cost or no cost at all. Any hint is welcome, thanks! All best, Alawill

What was the original price of the limited LP-set? -

Are you sure? I thought that's the Austrian Version. The German one is by Beethoven.

Sounds great - is it available in German, too?

I thought this is the fanpage for John William Waterhouse? -

On Saturday, I saw two guys running out of the venue, towards the artist room, even before the end of the concert. They both missed the "Imperial March", maybe even the encore No. 4 (not sure anymore when they left the hall). They missed one of the best parts of the concerts. -

Now that's what I call a weird video... -
I'm thinking about getting "Far And Away" on Bluray - is there any edition with JW-related bonus?

Really? Not more? Anne-Sophie Mutter usually is around 70k per concert, depending on venue/festival/etc., of course. -

Back home I have to say: what a wonderful concert (Saturday), with some minor - I guess coordinative - mistakes (e. g. E.T.), but overall: unbelievable. The critic is strange... "Den Höhepunkt stellte wohl das Thema aus Sydney Pollacks Verfilmung von Sabrina dar." "Sabrina" as the highlight of the concert...? Is he serious?

Mutter is now also credited on the Musikverein webpage: https://www.musikverein.at/konzert/eventid/43257 -
Maybe I'm too stupid, but where can I listen to or download the leak...? Any hint or PM welcome :-)
