Hunter 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Did anyone record any of it? PArticularly 'The Chairman's Waltz'? And will anyoone have any of it on Youtube.com?~Hunter~
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 If anyone has, I'm sure it'll pop up sooner or later.
Foxfan 239 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 It was supposed to be broadcast live in both Boston and Albany, I'm hoping someone picked it up...It would be nice to have a clean stereo recording of Duel of the Fates without the chorus.
tpigeon 3 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 What a great concert! The Memoirs suite was outstanding - just about every piece was expanded and re-orchestrated immensely, and to great effect as well. The Chairman's Waltz was particularly amazing. Williams loves this score too much to just let the OST be enough. He'll make new recordings of these pieces eventually. The Star Wars suite was also excellent, despite several flubs from Mr. Jones. Duel of the Fate was everything I had hoped it would be; played with intensity and finesse. I didn't much care for the screen images because I think people rely on them too much in order to appreciate the music. The whole point of these concerts is to enjoy the music outside the context of the film (save for the ocassions in which Williams uses film to show how he scores a scene, i.e. Last Crusade). Putting the images there for people to make the connection lessens appreciation for the actual music in the context of it stirring your imagination independent of any film. Overall, the concert was a great experience made excellent by Williams' wonderful Memoirs suite. Ted

Hunter 0 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Yes, I got an autograph! =)Congrads! Out of curiosity.. did you get it at the rehersal or the night performance?
sulky 6 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Some pics from the early morning rehearsal:Maestro introducing Yo-Yo Ma.JW (w/ James Earl Jones to his left) receiving a standing O at the end of the rehearsal.The autograph-seeking mob swarming JW by the stage.Signing stuff x2.Signing my JFK CD cover.Exiting stage right.
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I usually try to avoid these threads, to console myself that I will never see JW live in concert. But damn, that must have been something!Burga - who will at least probably finally experience the Superman March in concert when the Malaysian Philharmonic plays it this Sunday for free.

JMan 0 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I bought a picture of Tanglewood....should have tried to get him to sign it! Damn!
Jeshopk 8 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I got a video of the War of the Worlds rehearsal minus the first new timpani flourish and the last few bits with percussion emulating the slithering effects of the tripods. I'll put it up here soon.

Romão 2,473 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Ted, could you please provide more details about the Geisha suite?
Bowie 48 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 He does seem to be losing a bit of weight lately. Hopefully this is just eating well!before:after:
