mahler3 478 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 This is an excellent interview by the Hollywood Reporter's Ray Bennett, which I can't see posted anywhere here yet. Some really good insights about Altman, Hitchcock and Sinatra:http://www.thecliffedge.com/?p=3049 Incanus and Muad'Dib 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Wow, this is definitely one of Williams' better interviews. There's a lot of uncharted territory here, I only wish it were longer. Very cool to hear that Morris Stolof may have been the connection that allowed JW score score Sinatra's only film. Also cool to hear about Hitchock's knowledge of British music, and the approach to instrumentation for Angela's Ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So nice to read him address three of my favorite scores of his: Seven Years in Tibet, JFK and Angela's Ashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 A really insightful interview and wonderful that Ray Bennett asked such specific questions about these individual scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It's so full of tidbits, it almost seems fake. Who would've thought John Williams would do an entire paragraph on Alan Parker, of all people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yeah there does seem to be a lot of name dropping going on. It's actually more an interview about other people then JW.Is youngster really a word JW would use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yes the interview seems to have been done pretty much on these great names and how JW is associated with them but there are some very interesting small tidbits I had never read before. Surprisingly Mr. Bennett goes into these "I loved your this or that score" remarks that spark the answers or reminiscence about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 A good deal of these anecdotes were already recounted in one of the earliest interviews he did with the Boston Globe back in the 1980s. It's nice however to hear them again with some new tidbits added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is from 2000, not all that long after Angela's Ashes was composed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
