Its all fun and games now, but remember your enthusiasm for this when you read the following blurb next year. "Due to overseas conducting commitments, Williams had to pass on scoring Spielberg's highly anticipated new UFO movie. Spielberg admitted that he was disappointed but looks forward to working with Zimmer for the first time."

I will definitely be there. Unbelievable that he is doing this at his age. But he lives for music and it keeps him healthy🙏🏻. And I am looking forward to meet up with other JWFan members again😊

No cameras spotted (and that is a shame, I was hoping at least for a recording on Stage+ ) but the microphones were actually visible above the stage. I'm just wondering whether they were recording the concert or just simply hanging there as permanent equipment of the hall.

The concert was AMAZING!!! The best AD concert I have ever been to (London 2014/Kraków 2019/Vienna 2024).
I prepared a quick analysis of what tracks were used in each suite (overall almost 2h of music!)
1. Godzilla (Godzilla! / Godzilla's Victory / Back to the Ocean) - 6 min.
2. Pelléas et Mélisande - I. Comme un oiseau pourchassé - 8 min.
3. Pelléas et Mélisande - II. Ils regardent la lumière - 5,5 min.
4. Wes Anderson's Suite - Fantastic Mr. Fox (Jimmy Squirrel And Co. / High-Speed French Train / Boggis, Bunce, And Bean / Canis Lupus / Kristofferson's Theme / Stunt Expo 2004 / Great Harrowsford Square) - 9 min.
5. Wes Anderson's Suite - The Grand Budapest Hotel (Mr. Mustafa / A Prayer for Madame D & Last Will and Testament / Canto At Gabelmeister’s Peak) - 4 min.
6. Wes Anderson's Suite - The French Dispatch (Obituary) 3,5 min.
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1: Obliviate / Sky Battle / Fireplaces Escape / Detonators / Destroying the Locket; Part 2: Statues / Broomsticks and Fire / Courtyard Apocalypse / The Tunnel / Dragon Flight / Lily’s Theme / Showdown) - 13 min.
8. The King's Speech (The King’s Speech / My Kingom, My Rules) - 4 min.
9. The Shape of Water (The Creature / Five Stars General / The Shape of Water / Spy Meeting / The Escape / Rainy Day / Watching Ruth / Elisa and Zelda / Without You / Overflow of Love) - 21 min.
10. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Carlo's Theme / Spazzatura / The Pine Cone / Big Lies / Resurrection / Saving Geppetto / Pinocchio's Choice / Ciao Papa) - 15,5 min.
11. The Imitation Game (Carrots and Peas / Crosswords / U-Boats / Mission / Alone with Numbers / The Headmaster / End of War / The Imitation Game / Alan Turing's Legacy) 15,5 min.
ENCORE
12. Girl with a Pearl Earring (Griet's Theme) - 4 min.
13. Eiffel (Valse d'Eiffel) - 3 min.
What was so special about this particular concert, in my opinion?
1. Golden Hall itself, of course and the fact that he was probably the third film music composer playing there after Williams and Hisaishi.
2. Desplat played some of his recent scores like Pinocchio, French Dispatch or Eiffel, which was refreshing. I never spotted Fantastic Mr. Fox suite in concert before neither.
3. He also prepared completely new, extended suites from his trademark scores (Godzilla, Imitation Game, Shape of Water). He played almost half of the Imitation Game and Shape of Water albums (!) He usually plays the main themes from Godzilla and Imitation Game and 7- or 12- minutes long suite of The Shape of Water so he really did his best this time.
4. I think that for the first time he had a choir on the stage (not counting Hollywood in Vienna 2016 cause he was not conducting). A children choir in Fantastic Mr. Fox and at the end of "Ciao Papa" from Pinocchio gave me goosebumps.
5. He got a standing ovation and was very moved, I have never seen him like this before (and I always sit in front rows ).

Please fix the thread title. It's the Wiener Symphoniker, as stated in the post, not the Philharmoniker.
The Symphoniker are a fine orchestra in their own right - they played last year's Hisaishi concert (which was originally supposed to be the Desplat, but that was then moved to this year). But they're not the same as the Philharmoniker - instead of Strauß waltzes, they play Beethoven's 9th at their new year's concerts (on 31 December).

I am going to this concert next week. Is anyone from this forum going to this concert too?
Together with the two-time Oscar winner Alexandre Desplat, the Wiener Symphoniker invite you to a first-class film music evening in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein.

JTGL got a reaction from JTN in John Williams conducts Filarmonica della Scala, Milan, Italy, 12 December 2022!
I had such a great time last year and for the first time I met forum members in real. I felt like a celebrity when @Martinland approached me in front of Scala because he recognised me from my profile picture.
Hopefully Mr Williams comes back to Europe one more time. Wishful thinking perhaps but he surprised us many times.
