The Legacy of John Williams (Website & Podcast)
Miguel Andrade replied to TownerFan's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Well, good for you! If wearing turtlenecks most of the year (because I do feel cold most of the time) and having a similar trimmed beard, having had for about a decade the only website in Portuguese dedicated to Williams and at the time, the most complete and well constructed discography on the web, makes me an obsessed fellow, well, that's my problem isn't it? Because, trust me, I can out run Maurizio... Because, believe it or not, my sons are called João (in memory of my late grandfather) and Guilherme (because my ex-wife felt he was her prince and need a prince worthy name) which can translate to John and William. As many friends have pointed out over the past 21 years, that can't be a coincidence... maybe it wasn't at some unconscious level. That does make look like an obsessed guy about an 92 year young composer... maybe it does, and probably I am. And let me tell you, that never affected the remaining and multiple aspects of my daily life. And I'm sure the same applies to Maurizio. If there is some sort of obsession is still as healthy as it could be, not overlapping with any other needed and healthy daily routine (my current job at the school board is probably less healthier than being obsessed about John Williams...) I just really fail why that is such of a big deal to you. You've grown up and don't worship and old man. Great. I don't mind not growing up. Isn't it great we live in a free world when we can make those choices? If you feel that Maurizio's "obsessive" website isn't worth your attention, just move on to what you find is worth instead of complaining about it. That surely will be and healthy decision. -

I ordered my set with some other stuff from CD Japan, as they already tax me the vat and things go smother with customs. While I didn't do any comparison with Arksquare, had I bough only the Tokyo Concert SACD+BD set, the total would be around 90 euros, VAT for Portugal included (so, no extra custom charges). As I don't believe Arksquare charges you the VAT, you would have do add the expected tax and other custom charges to the final value you would end up paying for the set.

He appears briefly on the Johnny Staccato tv series as the jazz band pianist. -
The second movement of Williams' Trumpet Concerto has clearly been influenced by Copland's Quiet City.

https://www.discogs.com/release/29790961-Bernstein-Williams-James-Ehnes-Saint-Louis-Symphony-Orchestra-Stéphane-Denève-Serenade-Violin-Conc This might actual come from a live recording from November 2019, with Williams in attendance. If that's the case, the original concert line up included Barber's Adagio and Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony. Of course, until more info is out, they might have the recorded the concerto during the rehearsals.

John Williams with Yo-Yo Ma in Philadelphia, Tuesday Feb 20, 2024
Miguel Andrade replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Just Down West Street... was premiered by the TMC Orchestra under Stephen Asbury and that performance was available for a short period on the BSO website. That same year, Stephane Deneve conducted the piece, again with the TMC Orchestra, during Tanglewood on Parade. Deneve did conduct it at least once more, in Los Angeles, with an orchestra I can't recall right now (it wasn't the LA Phil). The piece was part of the program of Across the Stars at Tanglewood, but was replaced by Galaxy's Edge. I actually find it rather accessible. Maybe it shares some of the same musical dna of Soundings or For Seiji, but then again, as Herrmann would put it... Well you know his angry reply, don't you 😅 -
That project seems to have come to a halt, as Slatkin is no longer principal conductor of the Detroit Symphony. Of course, he could carry on with it in visits to Detroit or with other orchestras, but there are even a couple of unreleased recordings of the ones he conducted during his tenure there...

From the program notes by John Yeh: When John Williams wrote his only Clarinet Concerto, it was as a gift to my former teacher Michele Zukovsky, long-time Principal Clarinet of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. She premiered it to great acclaim and performed it several times in the 1990s. After Michele retired from the LA Phil in 2015, she presented me with the score and all the performance materials for John's Concerto, which is unpublished, in the hope that one day I would record the work and perform it widely. During the 2020-2021 Covid Pandemic, I had time to deeply study the Concerto and to correspond with John Williams about it. He has given me his blessing to program it.
