let me tell you a secret - no live concert album is ever live. I don't have the video version. the album version has endings with out applause, this tells you recordings were made ahead of time.
all rehersals are recorded too.

as evidence you can hear a clear poorly executed edit at 4:36.5  the left channel pops - no "live" take would have such a blemish 
 
 

its the second most sloppy DG i've ever heard after Yundi Li Ravel G major. 

I just feel the maestro deserves the full attention of the DG staff - believe me they hear these things too - but didnt gaf 

 

With all of these problems it seems like a slight towards Williams and Film Music as a whole. This wouldn't be the case with a Beethoven 9 with _______ (a serious classical conductor).  Turning off the violin 1 close mic takes minimal effort, but its almost as if they couldn't be bothered to rebounce the mix or to hire a score reader for the session.  ITs as if the music itself doesn't warrant the serious attnetion as other DG projects.  Very dissapointing album.
 
The album has many many issues, and I invite any serious listener to listen to some of them which I mentioned.
 
 

This is a garbage recording - I am shocked at DG - so many errors - what a lazy effort

Garbage:

Listen to the image/volume of the orchestra on Star Wars at at 4:58 - what is the engineer thinking?
 
Also tons of wrong notes in the horns 
 
:36 on ET  Bb?
whats going on Jurassic park at five minutes in the horns?
 
also the engineer decided to leave the close microphone on for the first violin for the entire album - so lazy
 
i mean on star wars what is this shit edit near 20 seconds? they added an eighth note 
 
terrible album
 
 
 
 

Who is your proofreader then?  Capitalization at the beginning of sentences is always nice... 😂

FYI, some people on this forum are offended by critical appreciation.

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

What a simply brilliant composer. I have no doubt in my mind that if film/tv wasn't invented some of these old media composers would be the Schuberts and Vivaldi's of our time.  I think JW would be easily akin to a Holst or R. Strauss.
