[Film Symphony Orchestra Williams recordings]

They did a couple of year ago a tour where they played in two programmes I think most of Williams SIgnature Editions from Hal Leonard. It was a great success. 

 

They recorded both programmes:

The audience images, at least, are from Sunday concert, aren't they?

[John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020]

I think that in one CD cannot fit the whole concert, so the BD willi contain the tracks that didn't make its way into the CD.

I just left, are you staying? Should I come back?

I'm afraid I'm going back to my hotel room. I got cold today and need some rest. 

[John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020]

I'm at Maredo too 😂

Just I arrived to Vienna. Hope to meet you guys tomorrow! 

[John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020]

My flight was delayed for an hour or so due to bad weather. But I'm in Vienna too!

Count me in! I'd love to meet you people after the concert

[John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020]

I'll be there for Saturday Concert and I'd love to meet the JWFanners attendingythe concert ☺️

Maybe they hired Hans Zimmer and we are looking for the wrong composer.

[Who is coming to Vienna?]

I'll be there too for the Saturday Concert.

One question. Do your tickets appear on your order history in the website? Mine do not appear although I have just received thet ticket by e-mail

[John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020]

What an awful web! 

[John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020]

Has anyone seen the concert at musikverein.at? The sale starts tomorrow but in the webpage there is nothing about it.

I read it as mrbellamy, it is not Mutter's arrangement but Williams' arragement written for Mutter to play.

Someone correct if I'm wrong but Spielberg's offices are located at Universal Studios as part of an agreement for his productions to be a part of Universal Studios Theme Park. If I remember correctly he agreement included big revenues and that Spielberg's office would remain at Universal.

Have you heard what Thrombosis is? 

['A Celebration of John Williams in Concert' - Royal Albert Hall, October 26, 2018 (CONDUCTED BY DIRK BROSSÉ)]

I read in a spanish forum from a reliable source than it was an issue of trouble with blood circulation regarded to being seated for too many hours in the flight from the States. It's a quite usual problem with old people in long flights and can be very very dangerous.

I've cancelled my tickets (and talking to the insurance company to refund the plane tickets). I had seen almost every piece that was being played int he concert live at least once . My only real purpose in travelling was watching John Williams conducting for the very first time in my life. In fact I would only be spending 1 day and a half in London, city I've never been to and would like to visit with time enough to spend. I'm deeply sad.

 

I'm very very sorry for Mr Williams and hope he recovers soon.
