  1. 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.
  2. 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/
  3. 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?
  4. After a couple days of no tracking information, it has finally starting moving through the USPS system and it shows delivery on Thursday, November 2nd!
  5. Shipped here, too. I'll believe it when I see it!
  6. 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?
  7. Pushed yet again: 4 October 2023!
  8. Anyone get shipping notification? The date has slipped.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
