Those large retro-style mics were positioned each time to capture the cello during the Elegy.

I have a silly question: On which CD do I find the Olympic Fanfare conducted by John Williams? I may be blind, but I didn't find it on Sound of Glory and American Journey. Only found it on Dude's DG LA.

Well observed and well written - thank you!

Away with flubs! I just love the ritardandi in Harry's Woderous World and Throne Room!

(Film music) composer Malcolm Arnold would have been 100 today! Very interesting material can be found here: Was heute geschah – 21. Oktober 1921: Der Komponist Malcolm Arnold wird geboren | Klassik entdecken | BR-KLASSIK | Bayerischer Rundfunk

Be careful with publishing such "home-made" recordings! I think some people got into trouble with copy right issues after releasing similar footage from Vienna. 1) 14.10.2021: horn section in Jurassic Park 2) 16.10.2021: timpani in Jurassic Park 3) 16.10.2021: 1 horn played with bell down in finale of Olympic Fanfare ...

So Decca still seems to be doing the copy editing. Fingers crossed! Hope they get everything in the right order and complete (!) and that we don't end up with a box set full of guitar music played by "John Williams" (à la Sony Classical birthday greetings). Sony Classical can't tell one John Williams from another - Slipped DiscSlipped Disc | The inside track on classical music and related cultures, by Norman Lebrecht (slippedisc.com)

So let's aim for 80+ minutes at La Scala next year.

I bought Salute to Hollywood second hand just for the Balloon Scene from Witches of Eastwick. I love that piece! Wear of teeth from excessive consumption of cookies?
