Hey Hornist, on this forum you are absolutely welcome to disagree with other's opinions and state so as much as you want, but we don't allow personal insults. Respond to the opinions and share your own, but don't insult other members. Thank you.
Well I lost my temper because of these stupid and nasty comments about a legendary composer/human being, who happens to be almost 90 years old and this was my dream-come-true-concert I luckily could attend, loved it and still treasure it. Some arrogant comments by people who basically have no idea of a live performance or the magic of that precious night are laughable and I never will back off in this so I hope you will ban me for good from this hypocrite forum. Have a nice guarantine you all, I still love you.
PS. send me videos when you are conducting Vienna orc at age 88 I will bash the fucking tempos

No one said it had to be mathematically perfect but when the brass is playing the main melody to Star Wars a few bars behind everyone else it's noticeable and distracting. They are professional orchestra and to some considered one of the best in the world therefore the standards are high. Unfortunately, this sort of performance is below their standards. That a fair assessment and criticism.
Yes, Williams can do whatever he wants with the tempo and my criticism wasn't with Williams' tempo... this time.
My criticism is with the the orchestra being somewhat unfamiliar with Williams style of conducting, which is something that could have thrown off the orchestra. The Star Wars performance isn't the only performance with certain instruments coming in early, late, dragging, speeding up.

PS - Heres hoping that we can all be adults around here by refraining from childish insults just because you don't agree with someone else's opinion. Seriously, brow up! BTW, this wasn't aimed at you, Jackson."Brass is playing star wars theme few BARS behind everyone else!!"
A great comment.
Very professional😎
Stay classy

^ if you’ve ever heard live orchestra performances, they are not supposed to sound like even tempo’d perfectly timed Mathematical equations Like the record labels insist on during an official OST. Live performances allow room for tempo changes, and allow Williams to feel out the room and each change of tempo is based on what he thinks fits best in the program. If ur going from listening on Spotify to watching a live performance and expecting “perfection” in that way, you’re not at all understanding symphonic music
Thank you!!

I'm finding some of the performances to be rather uneven, mostly timing issues, as it seems like the orchestra is having difficulty with Williams conducting style and keeping the correct tempo. There is no doubt they are an outstanding orchestra and the sound of the recording splended but I'm having a hard time agree with many of these "this is the best performance of *insert piece here*" that I'm reading in this thread.
Also, I'm not a fan of Mutter AT ALL, therefore her performances are the most off putting aspect of this concert.-Erik-
Idiot
Except I didn't like AMS either

Yes he is 88 years old, shame on him!!

Hope you'll like it, guys. It's quite a long and insightful conversation.
Wonderful conversation again Maurizio. Thank you.
I have used the same JW music to get my kids to sleep as Ben and I have to admit that JW is also in my top 3 composers(not only movie composers)
What version/recording was The New Beginning? I was listening to this while driving and wasn't sure what I heard, some different woodwind stuff? 🤔🤔🤔

1. HP (mostly because of POA)
2. SW Probably the best and the most consistent trilogy ever. Love it.

I voted for HP because it will lose of course but sounds better.

I don't know Stif but he might vote for the pirate.

The film was horrible!
What is the logic here?
I find one composer horrible but I don't spell it zim mer.

Desert Chase probably the least interesting action cue in IJ films. Works fine with the film, but basically all the others are better and cant vote, not any of my favourites there.

I don't mind a tad slower take on it.
There are worse offenders like The Lost Boys Ballet and Jim's New Life on the Sony's Williams on Williams compilation.
These excatly came my mind, which really feels too slow...

A fan since 75, Jaws it was.
Whippersnapper. My new favorite word. Thanks Thor.
