Jay 37,364 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Is "Across the Stars" the name of the album, or just the first piece we heard about? Basically wondering if I should update the thread title. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was already excited enough just getting “new” unreleased/unheard Potter stuff in 2018. The fact that he’s actually written new variations here is too much, and still a little more on Hedwig to come! It’s actually a little overwhelming to remember he’s reworking his whole career with this thing...it’s not like there were ever gonna be sequels to hear him back on Dracula, Schindler, Memoirs.

The one I'm most excited to hear is the new Rey's Theme arrangement. I hope it lives up to my expectations... mrbellamy and Once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually the name of the concert program. The press release doesn't mention any title (or any album for that matter, just "recording project"), so I guess we'll know the actual title on June 14.

Pawel P. 738 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 A beautiful, brilliant and virtuoso arrangement by the Maestro, and the Sophie Mutter performance is unbelievably masterful.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I like the streamlined orchestration too. I can hear there aren't any trumpets, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any tubas or trombones as well. Only french horns. It gives the piece a nice, special touch. EDIT: no wait, I heard the trombones/tubas. Only no trumpets, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmartigan JC 85 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I wasn't so keen on having this particular piece revisited, as I didn't think Williams would derive enough from it to make it a truly unique arrangement.

KK 3,307 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Lovely arrangement indeed! Much better than the Across the Stars arrangement, if I might add. It looks like Williams is writing a series of violin caprices with all his film material. Couldn't think a finer retrospective on one's career. Officially super stoked for this album!

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Maybe in jazz circles.

On my personal collection I have 12 re-recordings of the song. There might be more. EDIT: After all they are 20. Wasn't counting the ones I got as digital-only purchases.
