You can easily buy the entire concert on Blu ray. Like many of you, I am delighted with this violin concerto. So lively, so full of ideas, so unpredictable. Beautifully constructed. I think the references to 'Moonlight' in the second and fourth movement are not accidental, although ... since Williams once forgot that he wrote 'Han Solo and The Princess', and now doesn't remember which movie 'Across the Stars' comes from, he may have composed a similar theme by accident. Especially since 'Moonlight' has a different melody than 'Theme' from 'Sabrina'.

So sorry to hear that. Williams' music after 2005 is absolutely great. I'll be happy if he composes something on the level of the sequel trilogy. And he'll be less attached to the old thematic material, because it's a new adventure.

They just listed prices officially. 35 to 98 € https://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/en/concerts/calendar/details/53783/

No. These are three concerts, and the Saturday one will be broadcasted live on the Internet. I'd love to go to all three, but probably I'll go to the Friday and Saturday concerts. Unless they announce in advance that the programs will be different, but that's highly unlikely, especially since they'll film it.

Fantastic news!! I have a feeling it will go smoothly, without any problems. Of course, I'm also going to these concerts, maybe not three, but maybe two, like in Vienna. Or at least one if there is a problem with the tickets. In addition, it will be filmed - Berlin Philharmonic has a great video recording system - which probably means that we will receive another wonderful Blu-ray release next year.

Exactly. Disney company is not the producer of this movie, only a distributor. But it's possible that they will find a way to somehow connect the Lucasfilm logo with the first scene.

Popular opinion (I think): John Williams is the best choice for both films

I feel the opposite, I like the scherzo very much from start to finish, it sounds very fresh and energetic, and has a lot of Williams trademarks in it.

This is a fantastic document from the Abbey Road recording session. Interviews and and music. Ennio re-recorded the themes of "The Hateful Eight" with the idea of a vinyl release. Importantly, there are all here in full, in 5.1 quality. There's even a "Regan's Theme" from "The Exorcist II", used in "Hateful Eight". The picture quality, even though it's a DVD, is pretty good too. Highly recommended.

That was amazing. I didn't plan to watch it today, I have some pretty urgent work to do, but when I started, I watched it all. Lots of fantastic stories about Williams and Goldsmith, two of my favorite composers. Thank you.

I really doubt it. He doesn't seem like a conspiracy theorist or modern flat Earth follower to me. But I wouldn't like to start such a discussion here. Personally, I believe Williams will make a few more films and one of them will be released this year.

Ok, that might seem like a slightly off topic question, but does anyone know if Williams has got a COVID-19 vaccine yet? I have no idea what it looks like in the US, but generally in most countries, the oldest ones get the vaccine first. And this could have a colossal impact on Williams' willingness to take on new challenges, such as writing and, above all, recording music for a potential film. Or boarding a plane to conduct in Berlin in October

"Temporarily out of stock" on the La La Land website.

It hasn't sold out completely yet because La La brings it back in small batches at large intervals. Unless I am mistaken, first there were 2,500 copies, then three times 500 copies - and these smaller batches always sold in a few days. 1000 more copies will probably be sold in the future.
