Did he actually say that? I have no idea.

Perhaps he wanted to say: "I wrote a score but I realised it was so boring...."

So is that really how Kunzel is supposed to be pronounced?  I've always said "KUNzull" not "kunZELL", having never heard the name spoken by anyone.

 

I let Google record "Kunzel" pronounced the German way, and the second hit was Erich Kunzel – Wikipedia.

 

Pronouncing "Kunzel" the Anglo-Saxon way ("Cunsl"), Google suggested Kanzler – Wikipedia.

I wrote back at the time that since DG was making a Blu-ray audio-only part of their release, the SACD was less likely. However, I was wrong and Japan is getting a Limited Edition SACD on June 3, 2022 - same day as the Violin Concerto No. 2 (which is not YET in SACD format). Here's the link for CD Japan.

Any info whether this will be with or without the speeches and applause?

 

Don"t really see the need for a SACD including the edited "ambient noise".

I picked up elsewhere yesterday that Ewan McGregor thought that hanging around the social media was a waste of lifetime and he would prefer spending this time on other activities. He used to participate but has given up.

JW: "How many in 2022?"

LP: ""At least 5."

JW: "Exactly."

[John Williams Caption Competition!]

 

JW: "Look Luciano, next time you wanna talk to me, come see me yourself. Don't send one of these twerps."
LP: "John, John. If only you hadn't had to dump that extended version of "If We Were In Love".  I just can't make exceptions. Where would I be if every musician who works for me dumped their assignment at the first sign of a Disney+ opportunity? It's not good business."
JW: "Look Luciano, even I get board sometimes. You think I had a choice? But I've got a nice, easy theme arrangement for the next Star Wars series now and I can pay you back, plus a little extra. I just need a little more time."
LP: "John, my boy, you're the best. So, an extra 20%—"
JW: "Fifteen, Luciano. Don't push it."
LP: "Okay, fifteen. But if you disappoint me again, I'll put a price on your head so big, you won't be able to go near La Scala!"
JW [dryly]: "Luciano, you're a wonderful human being."

Help!

 

I need somebody
(Help) not just anybody
(Help) you know I need someone, help

 

So much younger than today
(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)
I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind
And sent to you this droid

 

Help me if you can, dear Obi Wan
And I do appreciate you meeting Han
Help me get these plans to Alderaan
Won't you please, please help me...

I didn't know Previn had written a guitar concerto.

And he also did a violin concerto.
