The Cello Concerto remains being my favourite Williams piece, concert work or otherwise. The Violin Concerto No. 2 being a close second. I always loved the whole album and the new revision was a wonderful gift that made me even more enchanted with the whole piece. The remaining works on the CD are just beautiful and Heartwood inspired me in a series of paintings back in the early 00's. I actually love the three solo pieces, even in the studio recording, though there is some kind of natural energy always present in live performances. Unfortunately, can't recall Ma performing the whole set, just Pickin', in live broadcast.

John Williams – The Tanglewood 90th Birthday Celebration (8/20/22)
Miguel Andrade replied to Andrej's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Williams probably had a say on the repertoire performed and I do enjoy the fact that so much focus on his concert output. For each concert like this one, you have a gazillion of others with just film music. I actually enjoyed the little tributes, and both Mutter's and Nelsons' I found quite touching. Ken-David Masur is the son of the late, great Kurt Masur, who premiered the Williams' Bassoon Concerto with the New York philharmonic. Ken is also a former BSO assistant conductor and has often conducted Williams music whit his own orchestra (that right now I can't remember which is). -

I don't think he did. He did play on Carousel and South Pacific, also orchestrating on the former. -

James Taylor is a very close friend of Williams. That's why he performed in the concert. Same thing happened ten years ago. -
I think the best ones aren't commercially available, so I would suggest this one.

I think it's called Tributes because it also acknowledges his "pets" (Williams words) in the orchestra. -

I believe big galas like tonight's tend to sell out too. But for this evening, I'm sure Taylor's presence did help. -

I believe we are getting a broadcast, just as we did ten years ago. Across the Stars had to do with the timing of the release of the album, the concert was later broadcast in 2020. -

Wasn't that one available on spotify a while ago. I can't find it anymore, but I could swear I've seen it there in the past. -

They did record the Flute Concerto, but for whatever reason, it remains unreleased. To my knowledge, Previn never conducted the Flute Concerto, it was Slatkin who recorded it, along with the Violin one in 1981. -

John Williams Interview with Associated Press (June 23, 2022)
Miguel Andrade replied to TownerFan's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
If that is indeed the Lisbon concert, do avoid it at all costs! I attended a performance by this so called "Hollywood Symphony" in 2020 and it was really bad.
