Looks like a terrific and indeed eclectic programme but the title of the concert would allow pretty much everything under that name. :)

No Williams? I'm not going.

It's good to see that the Metropole Orkest hasn't been eliminated like so many other orchestras in Holland.

It was an outstanding concert.

The Metropool Orkest is one of the most versatile out there, but they have their roots in Jazz, which showed in the program.

A lot of jazzy, funky and cool tracks. I've heard symphony orchestra's doing The Bond Theme, even the LSO. And it was always a bit formal. But the Metropool really captured the big band, jazz aspect.

Highlight was Theme From Shaft. I listened to that while wearing black sunglasses...indoors.

Morricone's Cinema Paradiso is beautiful, so is Rosza's Spellbound.

Each cue was accompanied by clips of the film, not sure about that.

Just occurred that they did not play anything post 1980.

Cool!

Yes I heard from my lady that Jazz is their's bread and butter so this would be nice.

How was David Shire's The Taking of Pelham 123? I think that's a terrific score.
