Ricard 2,245 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 French/German TV channel Arte aired the concert today and it's now available online, but only in France and Germany:http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/054756-000/john-williams-across-the-starshttp://www.arte.tv/guide/de/054756-000/john-williams-gala-aus-der-walt-disney-concert-hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocores 96 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The broadcast does include The Adventure Contiues from Tintin as well as the interview and lasts for 100 minutes, so I suppose the BluRay will include The adventure continues despite not being listed in the back cover.

thx99 1,740 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 "Soundings" is also included, which wasn't in the Norwegian broadcast (but is listed for inclusion on the Blu-ray/DVD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, a complete Soundings recording!I was able to download the complete video stream from arte using the handy tool 'MediathekView 9' (film number 27732).However, the Blu-Ray Disc is still on the buy-list.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 That was fantastic! Soundings was amazing, Tintin and Catch me if you can were both great also, Amistad gave me chills, and loved that little joke Williams made before taking the baton! Don't know exactly what the joke was, but he seemed so energetic and excited it was contagious. And that little "wand wave" before the Imperial March was awesome, like he was saying "All right boys, let's show em how it's done!"Brilliant all around.

Just my guess as it sounds rather improvised to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Since this was a tribute concert, it's likely that it was improvised. Willliams is extremely adept at writing music in a way that sounds improvised, but I lean more towards actual improvisation in this case just because of the setting.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I agree. The piece although has been revised in comparison to the published concert score. Some harmonizations and chords in the strings definitely sound different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, this is not the first pre-order that Amazon.ca did.A pre-order is dependent upon date of release. That's their standard, not yours.At least they have provided you with an exact count of days until you receive your order. It's an interesting number to have, don't you think?

Bespin 8,483 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I couldn't wait, so I've watched the show that aired on Arte ?What a great concert!I especially loved to see and hear Itzhak Perlman. What a great artist, one of the best of his generation. Yes, he made me cry!I also loved to see Escapades performed live, it's such a great piece!And the Encore where John Williams directs... Well, few other tears! ?I will watch it again when i'll receive the Blu-ray, chapeau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
