  1. I hate this recording, it is the worst one I have heard since Home Alone 2. It lacks soul
  2. Granted this is not one of my favorite JW scores (it is still tremendous in voice though.) I feel like the first two reels of this film are overscored, too grandioso, too much music for the lack of action (perhaps I am speaking of the film up to the meeting with Mr. Howard). I feel like the orchestra doesn't quite fit into the film yet - there are some really excellent dark moments in the orchestra later which are brilliant. Perhaps a more period/patriotic/pastoral influenced score would have worked better here. Ok there, that is my only beef with all of JW's music, and it really is a minor thing.
  3. I have never heard a better orchestra then the Chicago Symphony. I've seen in concert at least 50.
  4. Ignorant original post. No fact behind this silly opinion
  5. yes it is sped up - 30 seconds shorter then the version i have the by request album
  6. I noticed this first on the Raider's March Release - it is substantially shorter, therefore faster, then other recordings earlier in his career. If you notice many of the rubatos are generally gone - especially in the romantic portion in the middle. Espcially when the Celli go really high to finish their phrase before the recapitulation. In concert at Boston I noticed the same thing, less slowing down to make a moment out of a line. For example Fawkes the Pheonix was very straight forward. Raiders March sounds almost to a click on the soundtracks.
  7. Congrats. I also saw the concert , will write a review at some point. Williams seemed a bit tired but in good spirits. A very kind man indeed, he seems surprised and overwhelmed by his fame I think
  8. Some of you are right - see you guys after the release. I don't wish to have my opinions altered by everyone. I will be back after I see the Boston Pops, buy the CD and get the movie.
  9. Thanks Neil, In fact it would be super great if there was 1 giant Indy 4 thread that I could avoid at all costs and still enjoy the normal threads
  10. I don't want to be tainted by accidentally reading something in a careless title name
  11. 1. Click 2. Here the Mix they are hearing in the booth 3. Hearing Overdubs 4. Hearing the talkback mic with the producers in the booth
  12. Definatley has changed. Has become more about orchestration/harmony less about themes
  13. Conductor: James Levine (Chicago Symphony Recordings) Pianist: Krystian Zimmerman It has taken me nearly 500 CDs to figure this out.
  14. I am really quite good at doing samples, but this is damn near impossible to do. If anyone has time to try it please feel free and upload a copy. John williams and sampled articulations do not get along.
  15. I love those 5 second or so transitions/wipes/decays/desolves where the score comes out of the background and takes over and jw does some really cool statements. Anyone else know what parts I mean? There are lots especially the externals of Curuscant. I would kill to look at those scores.
  16. I have had a couple of friends who have worked for howard in the past.
  17. I have indeed listened to it, but to do not have it in my possession.
  18. Always one of my favorites, I did this quickly so there is most likely mistakes. I left the synths out. I guess I could do more if I ever had free time. This was pretty hard because the mix is very watery and it is like a big conglomerate of sound.

  19. Williams did a very fine recording of this for Summon the Heroes, was the rest of this released/recorded at any time? The further movements? Additionally, does anyone have any more info or photos or movies on the Summon the Heroes Sessions? Miguel? Thanks.
  20. 100 percent John Williams, aside from Physical evidence, it is easier to hear it in the caliber of the music, no one else could have written those scores. The person is posted that is an idiot.
  21. wow - extremely off topic this has gotten. I don't want to know your political affiliations. It is confirmed. I am just trying to figure out something regarding his hand writing while drawing stems.
