This is an excellent interview by the Hollywood Reporter's Ray Bennett, which I can't see posted anywhere here yet. Some really good insights about Altman, Hitchcock and Sinatra:

Wonderful, thank you!

Indeed, great article! Thank you so much for sharing

Awesome, thanks! I can't wait to read.

You might consider making a brand new thread for it, since it was only released a few days ago.

Wow, this is definitely one of Williams' better interviews. There's a lot of uncharted territory here, I only wish it were longer. Very cool to hear that Morris Stolof may have been the connection that allowed JW score score Sinatra's only film. Also cool to hear about Hitchock's knowledge of British music, and the approach to instrumentation for Angela's Ashes.

Well damn, that was misleading.

So nice to read him address three of my favorite scores of his: Seven Years in Tibet, JFK and Angela's Ashes

A really insightful interview and wonderful that Ray Bennett asked such specific questions about these individual scores.

Trent's brother?

[publicist 4,650]

It's so full of tidbits, it almost seems fake. Who would've thought John Williams would do an entire paragraph on Alan Parker, of all people?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388]

Yeah there does seem to be a lot of name dropping going on.

It's actually more an interview about other people then JW.

Is youngster really a word JW would use?

[Incanus 5,890]

Yes the interview seems to have been done pretty much on these great names and how JW is associated with them but there are some very interesting small tidbits I had never read before. Surprisingly Mr. Bennett goes into these "I loved your this or that score" remarks that spark the answers or reminiscence about them.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388]

It seems artificially structured if anything....

[indy4 160]

Lol, why would anybody fake a John Williams interview?

[Maurizio 6,913]

A good deal of these anecdotes were already recounted in one of the earliest interviews he did with the Boston Globe back in the 1980s. It's nice however to hear them again with some new tidbits added.

I believe it is.

You do realize that this interview is not new. It is from 2000, not all that long after Angela's Ashes was composed.
