I’m listening to some of these Azkaban tracks and I’m convinced some of it isn’t Williams

granted the notes are slightly different but the intent is the same, and the usage is almost identical 
 
(for those don't know Shostakovich used this motif OBSESSIVELY  (most notably string quartet 8 and Symphony 10) - the four notes spelled out his initials 
 
what are your thoughts? love both these composers 
 
 
 
 

Perfect well done !! 

with all do respect i am a professional expert lol 
 
there are things he changed at the session (from his written down music ahead of time) i thought that might be interesting 

And of course that would be Shostakovich. There are endless familiarities in the music but I was wondering if there are any quotes if him talking about Dmitri? 
 
Searching for quotes or interviews
 

Glad to see some Shostakovich supporters coming out of the woodwork.
 
Another thing he shares with John Williams is that they are both polystylists,
 
Shostakovich has his very serious side : the violin concerto one, the symphony 4 
 
he has his narrative sound 
most of his late symphonies - his symphony 11 is often referred to as as a film score without a film 
 
he has his jovial sound 
symphony nine,piano concerto 2
 
his incredibly sad sound
string quartets 8:15
 
and he has his very deep instrospective sound 
symphony 10, lady Macbeth 
 
ive been investing in the hardcover works - I’m totally immersed in studying this wonderful man

You neglect his symphonies - his most important works. His music has a level of depth that Williams isn’t able to achieve with his forwardness.  

I read a biography of Shostakovich where it said fifty scores for film were composed by him.
 
Perhaps I should have said that he was the greatest composer to ever pen a film score.
 
Personally I consider him the greatest composer of the 20th century.  So much of his writing is to be found in JW - the running woodwind octaves, the menacing low string octaves, the scherzos etc 
 
 

for anyone following at home the Tuba player is lost for about 30 seconds surrounding the 2:00 mark of ET 
 

LMAO 
 
how else are they going to remove the applause in the tail of this? Izotope RX doesn't work like this.

I've also sat in the control room multiple nights and all rehersals of the berlin philharmonic recording Prokofiev 3 with Yuja wang 2 years ago - sat there and watched them compile the edits for the "live perfomance"  - but yeh go ahead and tell me more how I don't know what I'm talking about .  (I also was JW's proofreader on TFA.)

The man deserves DG best efforts, not this. Most of this stuff I'm picking up on my iphone 12 speakers - haven't even listend to it on my rig yet.   I assure you DG was aware of all of this and hit print anyway.  Shame On DG SHAME! 
seriously if you enjoy it enjoy it, I'm just pointing out some stuff I hear. 

 
Crumbs - buddy/friend - you just edited your post not once but twice - the initial post inferred I didn’t know what I was talking about.  Just sayin
 
glad mr Shark agreed with me
