Unboxing for a fan who is also making his 'John Williams coming out'.
 

Does this helps you?
 

Ah. Shame I haven't subscribed since they went online-only.

I noticed some but was too lazy 🦥

I haven't listened to that yet, will do so when I have watched the film... some day.

Agreed! JT was also superb on our The Fury tribute show soon after.

What a great read. (And can I also just point out that I love John Takis' measured and calm way of speaking in the 2012 Hook interview Tim Burden did?)

🔴 TWO VINTAGE JOHN WILLIAMS' SCORES RETURN IN A STUNNING 2-CD SET FROM QUARTET RECORDS!
As part of their end-of-the-year release slate, Quartet Records announced a stunning 2-CD set featuring two vintage scores by John Williams in a newly restored and remastered presentation. Both were composed for made-for-television films produced by Omnibus Productions directed by acclaimed director Delbert Mann and for which Williams won two Emmy Awards.
HEIDI (1968) features a gorgeous orchestral score brimful with lyricism, one of the very first example of John Williams' trademark symphonic style, while JANE EYRE (1970) is one of the Maestro's most refined works of his career in which he poured all his love for folk-inspired English music and also one of his own personal favorites.
Both works in this collection have been painstakingly restored and remastered by archival soundtrack producer Mike Matessino from new high-resolution transfers and newly discovered elements, thus bringing new clarity to both recordings. A 28-page color booklet with film stills and in-depth liner notes by film music expert John Takis completes the package.
Stay tuned for a special podcast episode with Mike Matessino and John Takis discussing this fantastic new release on The Legacy of John Williams 🎙

Yeah, this was definitely among the best episodes so far. I love all this "musical archaeology" work.

I listened to this episode tonight at work.  There can't be more than several thousand people in the entire world who would be interested in hearing that episode.  And of those several thousand, I cannot imagine that a single one of them wouldn't find this episode to be absofuckinglutely fascinating.  Terrific listen, and my hat is now permanently off to Mike Matessino.  (Not that it wasn't already; it was.)

Indeed, it was like a lecture on soundtrack producing, with a story that's gripping the whole way through.
 
Once we'd discovered it had been in the works since 2016 I'd wondered whether there had been some really difficult problem with tapes or something so it's really interesting to know that SS's approval for the songs (and of course all the permissions stuff) was the main holdup once they'd managed to get the proper elements together and form the main program.

Give it seven years.

I have no superlatives to add the have not already been written. I agree and +1 each of them!
 
I have to say that running while listening to this and the other similar podcast episodes is a complete joy. I could listen to these conversations for hours and hours. I learn a lot and my appreciation for the music increase exponentially from an already impossibly high level. 
 
Thank you Legacy team!

It's almost the equivalent of a commentary track.

I really enjoyed the variety of knowledge shared in this episode.  There's all the stuff about placing both scores within the chronology of how his sound and career were changing, and also music discussion using terms like "perfect sixth" and "string triads", plus talk of the restoration process and hunt for elements, etc.  It's the whole package!

Ending with the Neverfeast! Genius!

These episodes from @TownerFan and @mahler3 with Mike M are becoming something I look forward to and get excited for ALMOST as much as the releases themselves they are just that much of a treat. It's gotten to the point that I download each episode and save it along with the score in the collection.

Oh dear! I have totally derailed the thread.

Made space for it already 😂

I made this last year and now I can finally use it!!!!
