Yes, I went down that particular rabbit hole... I procured a supported blu-ray player, bought an aging MacMini and read thousands of posts until I was able to get my first SACD to rip properly. And it seems to work just fine! Files are saved as .dsf which I convert (losslessly) to .FLAC for storage on my server. I mostly went through all this trouble to get to the multichannel programs on certain SACDs I've taken advantage of the new-ish Vocalion re-releases of the Charles Gerhardt discs to get hi-res and multichannel rips of some of the best film music collections ever released!

I gave the new performance a listen and it's definitely a sonic improvement over the old recording. The orchestra and soloist perform admirably for the first two movements, but seem to struggle with the proper tempo on the third. Some of the extra eight minutes must come from the much slower tempo.

Recent article about Williams' Violin Concerto No. 2 (German premiere?)
TJH132 replied to TJH132's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Nope, that wasn't the one. Like I said, I'm not sure how old the article is because Google will frequently serve up old stuff as new. Well... I did try that on my laptop (Chrome being synched and all) but it didn't show up. Of course, I found it on my phone once I turned it back on. Thanks for the (obvious) tip! Here's the article: https://jarijuhanikallio.wordpress.com/2023/09/07/in-the-manner-of-genuine-classic-john-williamss-violin-concerto-no-2-with-anne-sophie-mutter-the-bso-and-andris-nelsons-at-elbphilharmonie/ -
My Google news feed serves up all sorts of stories. Last night during a break in TV, I scrolled through and saw one about Williams' Violin Concerto No. 2. I clicked on it and read the first few sentences. It seemed like a good read, but I put my phone down and went back to watching TV. Of course, I shut the phone off at the end of the night and now I can't find the article ANYWHERE! It's like Google doesn't want me to read it. I don't know how recent the story was, but I think it indicated Andris Nelsons and Mutter had given the German premiere of the piece, if that narrows it down. The review seemed very complementary, as far as I got. Does anyone know the article I'm talking about?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track
TJH132 replied to DangerMotif's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Presumably the second this is released, audio software experts will be ripping, slicing and dicing the score into a more listenable format. Can someone here describe what would be the steps to take this 7.1 soundtrack and properly mix it to stereo. How do you know it's how it is supposed to sound? -
Now says the 11th.

John Williams with Yo-Yo Ma in Philadelphia, Tuesday Feb 20, 2024
TJH132 replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Of all the revisions, I like the one performed with Ma and the Houston Symphony some years ago. Better opening and stronger ending, in my opinion. -

The guitarist Christopher Parkening was to premiere Elmer Bernstein's Guitar Concerto with the Oregon Symphony but it wasn't finished yet. He asked Williams if he could play "The Days Between" from STEPMOM instead, so we got to hear it early. At least it was before the soundtrack was released; not sure how much before the film.
