    The Psycho Pianist got a reaction from Will in John Williams to Score Kobe Bryant short film "Dear Basketball"   
    I love it! Pure, classic Williams. As @Will said earlier, very reminiscent of his writing on HP.  
     
    Surely Kobe would push for some form of score-only release given he's such a big JW fan?

    I forgot to mention it earlier but this really reminds me of Harry Potter as well (e.g. "Leaving Hogwarts").

    I can't see that anyone's posted about this already, but I just saw that Williams was last night featured on Jim Svejda's Evening Program from 8-11pm talking about the Williams/Spielberg collection. Wondering how you can listen back to KUSC streams as I can't find anything about it on their site - or did anyone happen to record it?

    Not mine, but it is pretty hilarious.

    It's basically a massive inside joke for film score fans.

    The album is album of the week on Classic FM this week, listed on the site alongside Elgar and Tchaikovsky

    Might I ask what difference it makes if it has been "lopped off" above 27kHz when no human is even capable of hearing any frequencies even close to that figure?

    The Psycho Pianist reacted to mrbellamy in Williams to Conduct Nashville Symphony in September   
    Very cool!
     
    I keep thinking back not too long ago to 2015 when we had so much concern for his health. He was cancelling things left and right, looking and sounding a little frailer than usual. I was definitely coming to terms with the idea that he may be about ready to quit conducting by 2016, and keeping my fingers crossed that the same wouldn't be true about composing.
     
    Two years later, look at him. Not just physically, but mentally he continues to have the endurance and enthusiasm to multitask that has always inspired me. What are the odds that somebody with that much talent would ALSO have pretty much unlimited monster success leading to the greatest musical resources at his fingertips AND a variety of opportunities and projects to utilize them AND blessed with longevity in life AND a passionate work ethic that has kept him even wanting to give music to the world in his "retirement years" AND an amiably grounded and humble attitude throughout it all?
     
    Seriously, what the fuck? I can't help but think about Jerry, James, Basil, Kamen, and too many others who died too soon. Elliot Goldenthal, Don Davis, Bruce Broughton et al who should be working more with better film opportunities and aren't. Thank god Ennio's still going strong, of course it'd be nice if he were a little more high-profile but who's complaining?
     
    And then there's John Williams. Every year he's looking more and more like some miracle man. A superhuman! But in a way that cheapens the remarkable career achievements and life's blessings on this sweet, unassuming man, and the struggles that he's had like anyone else. At any rate, he is rather special and I've been feeling grateful to call myself a fan lately. When I was 10 years old, one of my favorite things to daydream about on the bus and in school was the new John Williams CD coming out. Now I'm 26 and it's one of my favorite things to daydream about in the car and at work. 
     
    Man I just love this guy! John Williams is awesome.
     
    Anyway

    Next he will combine the two, and it will result in John Williams's greatest masterpiece: Koray's Theme

    Seems like a piece that starts off quietly and slowly, maybe with some solo passages - before building up later on. At least, from what I can see.
