Remco 685 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 2 hours ago, crumbs said: He's even orchestrating more of his scores now than ever before, whereas previously he used orchestrators to copy out his sketches into full orchestral sheet music (with Eddie Karam & Conrad Pope on the prequels for example, while Williams orchestrated the entirety of TFA and TLJ himself). It's as if he's getting to the stage where he has such a specific vision of how he hears the music in his head, he needs to see it through from conception to recording. I don't believe this is really the case - maybe you're interested in this interview: https://www.finalemusic.com/blog/may-the-fourth-spotlight-on-joann-kane-music/ So while it's true that there is no orchestrator anymore and the way of working for music preparation has changed, Williams still works the same way with his sketches. I believe he also conducts from them, but regardless he's always been 100% the author of his own music Anyway, like you said, we're all so lucky with him having so much vitality for his age, and working so much and delivering undiminished quality still - what a man. And he looks great in these pictures here! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,262 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 He seems to be aging in reverse, especially in that last picture! How lucky are we? Hard to believe it was 5 years ago we had those 'scary' Book Thief interviews where he looked very tired. Maybe he just skipped his morning coffee that day.

There can't be very many solo bassoonists in the world. She's full time with the Nashville Symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Unless it's a popular solo touring instrument like the violin, cello or piano, etc, I feel like concerti like this are almost always performed by the principal within the orchestra.
