Will 2,215 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 FYI on UK Amazon this is listed as "Steven Spielberg & John Williams: The Essential Collection," also with the March 17 release and four discs, and no track list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,109 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I was just thinking the reason why AI, THE LOST WORLD and WAR OF THE WORLDS were not included. Perhaps Williams intends to do them in another album at a future date? It really makes no sense as to why he didn't include them for this album unless he has plans to record them as longer suites. Me thinks?. Now the track list disappearing could be temporary unless it was not fully correct and we just might get the above 3 titles in there somewhere? Shucks! I wish that was the case.

crumbs 14,316 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Those 3 score omissions are frustrating, even if we have all 3 in complete form.

1977 1,743 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I would have loved it if JW had chosen to record the cues from Hook that somehow went missing (the ones that LLL had to use film stems for). Snowball's chance in Hell, in know. Anyway, listening to the 2nd volume now for the first time in probably 16 odd years. Seriously cannot wait for Volume 3 now!

Popular Post thx99 1,740 Posted January 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2017 Amazon now has a write-up about the release, despite no tracklisting: Over the 90-year history of sound film, there have been a handful of instances where a director and a composer have formed a longtime partnership that resulted in a series of classical scores, creating music that stands the test of time. None, however, have been as long or as fruitful as the 43-year collaboration of Steven Spielberg and John Williams. None have encompassed such a wide range of subject matter or, more significantly, have had such an enormous impact on worldwide popular culture. From the ominous shark signature of Jaws to the five-note alien greeting of Close Encounters of the Third Kind; from the heroic march of Raiders of the Lost Ark to the moving themes for Schindler's List the music Williams has written for more than two dozen Spielberg projects has not only served them brilliantly but entered the wider public consciousness.Twenty-five years ago, Sony Classical began charting the Spielberg-Williams collaboration, recording two discs of their greatest hits. For this new release, John Williams & Steven Spielberg: The Ultimate Collection, these two CDs, The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration and Williams on Williams: The Classic Spielberg Scores, are included along with newly arranged and recorded material from the past two decades of their additional movie scores, The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration Part III, and a newly filmed bonus DVD documentary film, Steven Spielberg & John Williams: The Adventure Continues.With a record fifty Academy Award® nominations (more than any other composer) Williams has demonstrated, again and again, his ability to connect with audiences, both in the movie theater and in the concert hall. Seventeen of those nominations, and three of Williams' five Oscar® wins (Jaws, E.T. and Schindler s List) have been for Spielberg films. The sheer variety of music, the depth of compositional skill on display, the powerful emotions that it evokes, makes John Williams & Steven Spielberg: The Ultimate Collection an extraordinary accomplishment. This is the work of one of America's greatest composers, inspired by the work of one of America s greatest filmmakers.

Tom 4,658 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I hope I am wrong, but I am not expecting much from the DVD. While a real documentary with old recording footage and such would be fantastic, it would also require money and effort. I just don't see Sony going in that direction.

thx99 1,740 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Agreed, @Tom!! I'm hopeful but wouldn't put money on us getting anything more than a fluff piece comprised mostly of previously-released footage from DVD/BD featurettes, interspersed with new interview clips. Though the latter is always welcomed, despite the inevitable rehashing of the stories we've heard a million times over. Oh, I'd also welcome footage from the recording sessions of the new CD!

Could just mean "different from the film cues," though, which we already knew would be the case. Well, at the very least we now know that the documentary has some newly filmed elements. Yay! Technically, there was always the chance it could just be old interviews and footage. At least now we get Williams telling the Schindler's List story with a slightly different previously unreleased voice inflection and facial expression!
