Is it’s a choice between the two, I agree with you!

John Williams returns to Berlin for three concerts, June 5-7 2025
Once replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
The Berlin concerts have been my favourites of his concerts that I’ve attended, so I’m DEFINITELY going! My best friend (and fellow Williams-fanatic) turns 30 on the 5th, so it’s really a no-brainer! -
Source! The only reason I’m making a separate thread for this is that I really, really hope Columbus can somehow convince Williams to score this. I’d love to hear him score a whodunnit and I’m sure he could elevate the movie, like he did with Home Alone. Thoughts?

The new website looks fantastic. I look forward to having the time to really browse through all the content. Even though it's not complete yet, the "Works"-pages are gonna be a great resource, I feel. I love that recording dates are included and also the easy overview of recordings of his classical work.

John Williams on Variety Cover (article & video)
Once replied to JNHFan2000's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
The fact that Gunn is a writer and doesn’t keep re-editing in post would make a collaboration much more interesting than with most Hollywood directors nowadays. -

I like this comment from the Variety article: I wish this article was published before Oscar voting ended. It sounds like many rediscovered how great he really is. -
I was 7 when I got my first soundtrack album. My aunt had noticed I kept humming the music from Harry Potter and she bought the OST for me for Christmas 2001. I was too young to be embarrassed by my taste in music, I played the soundtrack for all of my friends, haha. Me and a good mate even rehearsed a dance routine for the entire album that we made our parents watch! I still remember our choreograpy to Visit to the Zoo and Letters from Hogwarts! Kids are weird yo

Williams seems to care a lot about his legacy. The idea of writing themes, suites and motifs for future composers, producers or directors to arrange/edit sounds like the last thing he'd be interested in - he would have no final say in the product. While the idea of an endless pool of JW music is appealing on a surface level it doesn't really work, does it? He needs to be involved in all parts of the process, in my opinion.

Just out of curiosity, was it ever considered including the Julie Andrews-demo on this set? I don't suppose she would agree to that, though. I'm still waiting for my set to arrive and the wait is absolutely killing me! I might start with disc 3... I'm so intrigued by the songs.

I hope so, rather than think so. Any opportunity for more Williams music is a "yes, please"-scenario in my book. As long as the schedule doesn't clash with a Spielberg-film, in which case I'd probably prefer he did that instead.

I think it helps that Matessino has arranged the alternate scores cues, source music, album edits and other curiosities into great listening experiences instead of a strictly chronological 'bonus section'. By presenting the music this way it's probably more likely to get Williams's approval. It almost seems like the more creatively arranged the bonus section/disc is, the more rare curiosities Matessino has managed to get approved.

Label Threads The Official Varese Sarabande Thread

Oh no, really? I love this score and I loved the film as well, but had no memory of any missing music. Damn, new grail for the list! -
If I remember correctly Multiverse of Madness started prinicple photography right after WandaVision wrapped, so I'm not sure WV was in a watchable state by the time MoM (and Raimi) was in pre-production.

Absolutely amazing! I'll be getting... well, all of them! I was on the fence about Sneakers, but this is just a great batch in my opinion!

I can't wait! For the first time since Covid I can afford to buy more than one release this Black Friday.

I couldn't have said it better myself (certainly not in English, anyway ). I'm not a big fan of ranking things, but I thiiink this, Harry Potter and Amistad are my favourite John Williams-expansions so far.
