bollemanneke 3,346 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Regarding Adventures on Earth, I think the concert version is inferior in every way to the marvellous, enthusiastic film version recording. Holko and Mattris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If we look at programs of concerts JW did in the last 2-3 years, it's always a mixture of his classic works and selections from recent ones. I guess the London concert will follow the same pattern. As other have already pointed out, I'm not too picky in what he selects to perform. For me it's the experience in itself that matters, i.e. seeing him conducting his music live in such an historic venue with one of the world's best orchestras. I'm pretty sure this concert will be a particularly thrilling experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Same here. There will be some crowdpleasers most of us will have heard before and a few rarer picks. It will be fine. I'm there to see him conduct the LSO. tmarps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 They'll drive him in straight from Heathrow right to the Albert Hall, where the LSO has been rehearsing with William Ross all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedog 7 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This is the first time I’ll be seeing Williams conducting in the flesh so I’m hugely excited. What are his concerts like? Is it usually 2 hours of music with an interval? Does he speak much or tell any anecdotes in between pieces of music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenCarnall 18 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I wonder if there'll be any guests?

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Abrams is probably best ringing up Da Mario ahead of the day then if he wants to ensure he gets a seat with us lot. I'd hate for him to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
