Hmyes. I seemed to remember that video was also available elsewhere, but I couldn't find it quickly enough.

I was just annoyed by that guy talking through it and the constant noise he was producing.

Indeed - ambient noises are the bane of audiophiles such as us. However, in instances where we have no other options, we have to make do with what we have.

If a clear video is out there somewhere, be sure to let me know as I would be much interested in seeing it.

Saw this on AiCN. Bloody inspired casting.

Saw it on TV the other night, great stuff.

A clip of the infamous walkout at La Scala by Roberto Alagna, a famous tenor...

This was a big story in December, he got booed by the elitist "loggionisti" there after a slightly imperfect aria in the leading role of Verdi's Aida, and just quit the performance and walked off stage. An understudy in jeans and wild hair (Hagrid, is that you? :( ) had to step in mid-scene, actually mid-duet!

So unprofessional...

I thought that this was pretty cool:

Yikes....that makes me cringe.

The audio's been discussed.

I don't see what it has to do with the video that's edited to it, but whatever.

John Williams is the man.

Someone actually managed to upload the entire War of the Worlds soundtrack to YouTube. I didn't think they could post things that long.

With a Director's account there is no time limit, but a filesize limit (100 MB)

Pretty good, better then the version Williams recorded with the BPO in the early 80's.

That was faaar...toooo...ssssllloooowwww....

Indeed. :sleepy:

I can't imagine how Williams could possibly think the piece sounded good at that speed.

Posted

Yes, but I can't imagine how Williams could possibly think the piece sounded good at that speed.

Posted

I ment Williams didn't want it to sound too good because it's best piece of his best competitor... :sleepy:

Some fun ones I ran across...

Bernstein and Jose Carreras at recording sessions for West Side Story

Insane.... ;) Lot of great Bernstein clips on YouTube

EDIT:

JW at Spielberg's Kennedy Center with "Make Our Garden Grow" is now online-

Carreras & Bernstein had some great tantrums during those sessions, Carreras kept screwing up 'Something's Coming' too. I love Humphrey Burton's West Side Story documentary - a great insight into the genius of Lenny and the orchestral recording process!

As a point of interest, the recording engineer you see in that clip is John McClure (blue denim shirt & glasses) who also engineered many of Williams' Philips BPO CD's after George Korngold. He too was a legend in his field, pioneering the many classic New York Philharmonic recordings from the 1960's.

- Tim, who loves the Boston Pops concertized theme from The Patriot also posted on youtube. Yet another reminder of Sony & Williams really needing to release another CD!

Yes, it's a pretty lovely documentary. I also remember that after one of the tantrums between Carreras and Bernstein, the famed tenor blows up and says a huge blasphemy in Italian language! :)

I always wondered what he was saying, if it's too explicit to post can you please PM me? ;)

You can hear it when the "Maria" session is over and Carrerars badly want to do another take... I *strongly* suggest you not to say it loud if you come in Italy one day! :thumbup: It's a real nasty blasphemy.

Ok , next time I visit Italy , I will try it.

btw , for those who never heard Mahler's 8 symphony,

is a"nice" clip Chorus Mysticus , ending

of that piece. Probably the most awesome music ever written.

(that guy is little bit annoying but if you listen to this music too much, it finally will drive you crazy)

Of course you think it is the most awesome music.....because you're a Horn Player! :)

But I wholeheartedly agree, Mahler's 8th is indeed a grand piece of music.

This guy (Brandon Hardesty) is one of my favorite people on YouTube. Check out his other stuff for some fan-made greatness.

Very good use of Williams' music.

Well, it was coming from me. ;)

lol that was hilarious.I remember seeing that on SCTV ages ago.Thats' the show that started John Candy's career

Posted

Is it funny because it is based on John Williams, or is funny on its' own right?

Posted

Yes it is. John Candy never fails.

Rabbit--who thought it was quite funny.

Then why did you ask if it was funny?
