Will we ever see a complete box set of Williams' concert works and concert suites?

What do you think? I'd ideally want the LSO to tackle this and not, say, the City of Prague Philarmonic. I'm a bit surprised that orchestras keep recording random movements instead of going the extra mile and presenting entire suites.

Not in our lifetimes...

Eventually, but a really long time from now.

I doubt it. The piano sonata, wind quintet and symphony, in particular, will prove very difficult -- also after Williams' death. The others are more flexible, I think, but I think there's a reason for why some of them haven't seen the light of day in a legitimate format. Like the Michael Dukakis fanfare, for example. A rather weak piece, performed extremely weakly in its premiere. I'm fortunate to have all of them (except for the piano sonata, wind quintet, symphony and "A Toast!"), but I doubt we'll see them, and the other 'bootleg' pieces, get a commercial release in the foreseeable future.

no

What movie were these all from?

The idea is appealing to be sure, but I think I would rather not see such box as the price tag on it would probably be way up high.  I mean, how many CDs would there be?!
