I visited the Schott Music store in London this week - nice to see that they stock some of the Omni books on location Bought Wrath of Khan, and made sure to express my interest in them carrying more Omni editions in the future!

Yeah, the viola concerto is in dire need of a good-quality recording. -
New recording of Williams' Violin Concerto No. 1
ChrisAfonso replied to Miguel Andrade's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Great news! Love this piece That will be the 4th recording of it, right? I wonder if it will have any reworked passages, like the cello concerto... -
Sad news. As for as I know, my only CD of his was a recording of Pini di Roma (with other assorted pieces), but that one I listened to quite a lot back then.

It's been a long time since I've listened to the OST, and for all the years I've had the 2012 LLL, I can't remember listening to it more than once or twice, so I can't really make any informed comparisons right now... suffice to say, over the last few days I've listened to this set several times already, and it is simply marvelous. In the past I've found the score a bit overwhelming in its wealth of themes and setpieces, but somehow this new presentation makes it a varied and satisfying listen throughout. Not to mention the songs on the last disc giving so much more context to the theme usage in the film! (The only critical observation I could make would be that for my ears, the music and lyrics of the songs sometimes don't mesh very well on a micro-level - the stresses/accents of the text differ from those of the melody...)

This score hits one of my Horner nostalgia soft spots, as it was one of the first Horner scores I discovered (back in the browsing-in-shelves way of things), and clichéd as it may be (hello Carmen!), it's just so much fun to listen to . Even though I pretty much consider the album already very comprehensive, this is an immediate order for me.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track
ChrisAfonso replied to DangerMotif's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Unless there were multiple versions back when they came out, I believe that's inaccurate - they're normal DVDs (the 3rd one double-sided) with stereo and 5.1 audio tracks, and animated menus showing arted-up images from the corresponding scenes during playback. -
I'd totally buy King Kong, but The Village or Signs would also be nice (guessing it's something completely different ;))

A very arcane detail, but something about the sound of the Archimedes theme at 1:24 in "Centuries join hands" intrigues me - it appears to be a horn(s) line with added flute octave and harp accents, but something about it sounds more noble/open/round than other comparable passages... I'm curious if that might be wagner tuba instead, or just quietly doubled by trombone (?) (Generally after more repeated listens this score reveals more and more intricate details, especially in the less "obvious" places... a real gem)
