zoltan_902 141 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I had to do some funny business with iTunes to make it work, which, in the end it did, only the concert was half-way through 'Solo' by then. I'm having a very John Williams morning; this arrived, finally! Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iilovejw 11 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 concerts are no longer available on demand unfortunately Beginning with the 2017-2018 concert season, WCRB will continue to broadcast and stream the BSO in Saturday evening live performances from Symphony Hall, with encore presentations on Monday nights. These broadcasts, however, will not be available for post-broadcast on demand streaming via WCRB's and the BSO's web sites. In addition, these broadcasts will only be heard on WCRB.

zoltan_902 141 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I didn't get access to the broadcast until they were well into JW's half of the program - a lot of us are having trouble accessing the WCRB's direct website stream. I did the iTunes hack, which made it work. I'm of a good mind to be awake for the encore presentation to record it, but even then, I can't find any listing of this on the website's Monday schedule.

zoltan_902 141 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Rights issues I suppose. What puzzles me even more is that there seems to be officially-produced footage of the concert (akin to the 'Evening at Pops' series), of which only a few short minutes have been released.

Popular Post Iilovejw 11 Posted May 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2018 This past August, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Players of the Boston Symphony and their local union, local 9-535, agreed to a three-year contract that included provisions for local radio and live streaming. Unfortunately, regional radio and on demand streaming fall under the jurisdiction of the American Federation of Musicians. Although the national agreement expired in April, negotiations for a successor contract will only begin in October. Consequently, regional broadcasts of Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts will not be available until the negotiations between the American Federation of Musicians and the Employer association have been completed.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks, amigo. Shucks, that's some cool runnings there. The AFM strikes again! Beautiful arrangement, glad to have it in better quality! Interesting that he's gone back to his earlier love themes and given them new spins, way older into his life. Almost like he's going through an old scrapbook with photos of his past sweethearts, flames come and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I got to listen to this live on a drive back from the city last night. Very special way to spend a long drive. Orchestra sounded great. I'd never heard that flute version of the Sugarland Express theme. Really bizarre sounding after so many years listening to the S/W Collaboration recording!

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I loved hearing Williams' intro for "A Child's Tale."

aescalle 122 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 So, Do we have to expect the same situation for the next Tanglewood concerts?

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 "Highwood Ghost" will have two performances, one on the Bernstein centennial concert, another on "Tanglewood on Parade". The former should be broadcast, as it is during the weekend, but the later I have no idea. Since 2014, WCRB doesn't broadcasts "Tanglewood on Parade", though they produced the recording for other stations between 2014 and 2017 (also in 2014, "ToP" never went on-demand). With the changes going on, one can't be sure about what will be happening this summer. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
