  1. Shostakovich - Symphony No. 15 in A. In addition to the 5th, my favorite symphony by Dmitri Dmitriyevich.
  2. I have been looking around on the web (and here on the forum) but I can't yet seem to find the chronological order for this score. Probably it is already in chronological sequence on the CD, except for the title song? Where does that go, after Square Escape perhaps (I haven't had the chance to go see the movie yet)?
  3. I actually use those to mark my study scores, books etc. I don't mind one of the colors being pink so why would you?
  4. It was time to up my headphones game so to keep company AKG's K702 Reference and K271 Mk II and Sennheiser's Momentum 2.0, I got the mighty Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm cans matched with Swissonic's HAD-1 High Performance DAC/headphone amp. Match made in audiophile heaven indeed! JW Live In Vienna now really, really does sound like the very next best thing to being there.
  5. Received my copy of Live Edition today. I have the Blu-ray/CD combo and last year's regular digipak CD but I still love this one since it helps me in reliving that unforgettable day - no need to turn on the TV and the blu-ray player, I just put my headphones on, be it home or on the go, and listen to this baby Surely this has been discussed before but I can't find where and when exactly - does anyone know if they took most of these CDs (and Blu-ray) performances from Saturday's or from Sunday's concert? (I was there on Saturday only.) Probably they also combined both where it was feasible and we all know that some endings of individual pieces were being recorded in the hall after the audience had departed but I still wonder whether there's any "official" - reliable information about that?
  6. Received mine yesterday after almost three months' wait - and Friday is one mighty fine day to receive such fine merchandise! For anyone interested, here's my short first impressions "review": the score arrived perfectly packaged and protected. The book itself looks wonderful; engraving and printing are first-class. Since UK has left the EU, I had to pay import costs and Slovenian VAT, all of which raised the complete price of this score to almost 100 EUR, making it one of the more expensive scores I own - BUT I daresay it has been worth every cent since I'll now be able to finally enjoy studying full score of one of my all-time favorite soundtracks for many happy years to come! I haven't yet had much time to spend with the score itself but in the coming days and weeks, I will definitely go through the whole thing (while listening to VS's Deluxe Edition ofc) very diligently and thoroughly and I'll report any comments I might have in this topic. So far, I've only noticed that - compared to the LSO recording - one or two slight rallentandi and fermatae could be absent from 1M1 Main Title, but that might well have been just because Horner's conducting/interpretation during recording sessions and it would be understandable that he (or McRitchie) didn't write every last little tempo change in the score and/or parts. (It also gives one the joy of being able to scribble and add his own marks and comments in the printed score itself.) There is one difference though, at least from my (and my ears') point of view (still speaking of 1M1): according to the recording, the 2 × 2 tam-tams and sizzle cymbal/large suspended cymbal tremolos begin on the second beat of measure 11 (together with brass playing Horner's "alien chord") and not on the third beat of measure 10 (together with field drum motif) as printed. BUT that might have also been just a decision made only at the Abbey Road at the time of recording this cue back in April 1986. All in all, I wish to offer both thanks and congrats to Chris for undertaking this doubtlessly difficult project and bringing out this amazing score to all Horner/Alien/film music fans and musicians around the world. I'm already very much looking forward to the next one, whichever it may be!
  7. Davies/Gordon/Tognetti - Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Manfredini/Molin - Friday the 13th Part VII - The New Blood (LLL) Williams - Memoirs of a Geisha Williams - War of the Worlds (Intrada)
