Popular Post lairdo 725 Posted February 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2019 Looks like the DSO is going to stream tomorrow's concert for free at https://www.dso.org/live. After a few days, it will appear on their new replay service (requires a min of $50 donation to the DSO). They say they have 3 year streaming rights to the concerts (although it's not specific about the one tomorrow). Program includes the Oboe Concerto (the original recording of which will feature in the new The Magic of John Williams Special coming out on the IndyCast next week), Liberty Fanfare, Pops on the March and selected film music led by Leonard Slatkin. I suspect the Oboe Concerto will be released in the Slatkin/Williams Concerti series. (See my post about the Tuba Concerto.) A John Williams Celebration https://www.dso.org/ShowEventsView.aspx?id=4916&prod=4914 Sun, Feb 10 from 3:00 - 5:00pm EST Artists Leonard Slatkin, conductor Alexander Kinmonth, oboe For five decades, Leonard Slatkin has championed the diverse music of America. This three-week festival begins with a cross-country musical travelogue of sorts from Morton Gould, Joan Tower, Leonard Bernstein, and Virgil Thompson, plus Ferde Grofe’s colorful Grand Canyon Suite, and continues with film and concert music by John Williams.

Popular Post SteveMc 2,674 Posted February 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2019 Solid concert. After the Liberty Fanfare, Slatkin noted how Williams's distinct style and appeal makes him often programmed alone, something that Slatkin said was rare. The Oboe Concerto was a great highlight. The string section really brought out the striking, yet accessible harmonies. A lot of energy was put into the final movement especially. Definitely a piece that grows in appreciation the more one listens. After an intermission came the film music portion of the concert. The Cowboys Overture started things off. The orchestra gave a rousing rendition of this piece, and the audience was quite receptive. Jaws came next, followed by a new (to my ears) arrangement of The Book Thief. The DSO really brought out the best of the piece, particularly in the strings, but the precise richness of all the orchestrations were evident. Some changes from the OST: Harp and oboe replace piano at the start, though the latter does play the "Books" theme; there is a gorgeous new little passage that transitions into the elegiac section, remarkable harmonically; also, the ending is reworked, getting quite unsettled before a release. Has this version been played before? 1941, Memoirs of a Geisha (very rich indeed), Hedwig's Theme, and the Raiders and Imperial Marches were played next. All very solid, but I have mixed feelings about Slatkin conducting the last piece with a silly plastic lightsaber. looohhk, Will and Ricard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lairdo 725 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks for the update. I tried to capture the audio in the stream, and it shut down my machine! So, I was only able to watch a bit, but I too enjoyed the Oboe Concerto a lot. We just covered the original on our new special (shameless plug - http://theindycast.com/the-magic-of-john-williams-41/), and I too am more and more fond of it. Slatkin all but said that this would be released like the other concerti they have done. I hope to watch the full concert when it gets to DSO's Replay page in a few days.

Alas, unlike the Chicago concert (audio only), they are asking for a $50 minimum donation to reach the entire Replay site and archive. (The donation is tax deductible I think.)

Miguel Andrade 1,251 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The Book Thief suite was premiered at the Oscar concert if memory serves. Stephane Deneve has conducted it a few times before. I believe that DSO Replay doesn't includes full concerts but just some pieces from the concerts. They may actually include all the pieces from the concert but not as a single video (at least it was how it was done early on). thx99 and SteveMc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went ahead and made the donation, and indeed, I would agree with your assessment at looking at the various videos once I had access. Hopefully they include all of the pieces even if not assembled. I'll report back what I find when they put up whatever they do. Miguel Andrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of 1 week later, nothing on DSO Replay regarding the Williams concert. In fact, nothing from 2019 at all - just 2018 and earlier (so far).
