Might be a good idea to ask someone who hangs around these cars...

Please report tomorrow if they are still there

Yep. Same words he explained his cooperation with Mutter. "One thing he's not is a man you can say 'no' to". That means The Fabelmans may not be his last Spielberg film!

I'm afraid if there really isn't anything planned to film the concert, it's too late. Such a recording is a big logistical challenge, it requires people, equipment and time. Someone has to pay for it. The only hope is that the source mentioned here a few days ago is wrong, even if it's someone from Filarmonica della Scala.

Beautifully done. Thank you.

Oh, that's a disappointment

If I may ask, where did you get this knowledge from? If this is true, it would be a pity, although of course I realize that blu-rays from Vienna and Berlin (and "Violin Concerto No. 2 & Selected Film Themes" ) spoiled us a bit.

Shame because Close Encounters is not in the programme, and you would like it to be? Even without Close Encounters there are a lot of repeats from Berlin and Vienna.

Concert programme. I hope there will be an English version sold at the venue. https://assets-global.website-files.com/60ae054b30328f0c5ad249fd/638e2dc3680eb6cc722ffe66_PROGRAMMA_WILLIAMS_12DIC_web_doppie.pdf Poster: https://assets-global.website-files.com/60ae054b30328f0c5ad249fd/638e2dd3a625838dea439783_AOFS_locandina_12 dicembre 2022_WEB.pdf

Or with an address in the EU, but a business one. This is how I buy my CD's from Music Box Records. My prices are 20 percent lower. Even DHL shipping is cheaper. Of course, the business must be related to music or culture in some way, because the tax office must see that you need such a purchase.

This is good Metallica!

I want Williams to be nominated because: a) the score deserves it, it's beautiful, mature and classy, b) Williams would not have 52, but 53 nominations, c) Williams would be the oldest nominee in history. And d) It's Williams. Does he have a chance to win? After 2005, I lost my hope a bit, but I always keep my fingers crossed. That would be something! But the nomination itself is already an award. No one is really losing here. Answering the question ...I strongly believe The Fabelmans will be nominated for a Best Original Score.

Sorry, maybe it's a language issue, but I don't get what you mean. I see that also nominations for The Last Jedi (Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media) and Mine Mission (Best Instrumental Composition) are missing.

BULLSHIT because ...?

John Williams has been nominated for a Grammy Awards for The Berlin Concert (Best Orchestral Performance). This is his 73rd nomination. He has a chance to win for the 26th time. Congratulations Maestro! Also, "Violin Concerto No. 2 & Selected Film Themes" is nominated in the Best Engineered Album, Classical category. Full list of nominees: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/15/arts/music/grammys-nominee-list-2023.html By the way, the Awards & Nominations section is missing a nomination for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media)

80th Vienna Philharmonic Ball is on January 19th. So we have just over 2 months left to the premiere of the new Williams' composition. I really hope that my theory that Maestro recorded it in Vienna in March this year in Musikverein, during rehearsals for concerts, will be confirmed and that composition will be included in the planned Vienna II album. And if it doesn't, hopefully it'll be released in near future on another album. https://www.wienerphilharmoniker.at/en/vienna-philharmonic-ball/2023

Beautiful, very elegant score. I can't stop listening to this. Intimate, unobtrusive music, probably the most intimate of all composed by Williams. Amazing that he is giving us such a gift in the year 2022. Nothing groundbreaking, but lovely. Very. The main theme is simple, charmingly catchy, very lyrical. "Mother and Son" has something of the atmosphere of George Delerue's music. This is one of those moments that could be found, for example, on "Stepmom". There is a lot of celesta, very much in his style. And the final is primarily Williams's magic in all its glory. I skip three classic tracks (I created a Spotify playlist while waiting for the CD). They disturb my flow a bit. Although I will definitely listen to them again. Thank you Maestro.

Unfortunately, that concert wasn't filmed.

They don't have "Fawkes the Phoenix". Fabulous performance. Very looking forward to the album. It'll definitely be released. Repetitions of certain pieces don't matter that much in a classical music world. What matters more is that Williams conducted most of them with this particular orchestra for the first time.

There are two certain things in life: death and taxes. However, there's no reason to be afraid that this won't be available on Spotify on release day.

I'm not gonna play any samples this time, read any opinions or impressions on the album, if they come up. Next Thursday, I'll wait until midnight, put my headphones on, and move to another world.

One of the Polish online stores (reliable one, I've bought from them many times) announces that there will be a physical release. CD will be released on December 9 (Sony Music Entertainment) https://www.swiatksiazki.pl/the-fabelmans-ost-6933892-muzyka.html

Oh, now I understand. I didn't know about it. Probably the same will happen in Milan, but I don't think that the potential cover conductor tasks go beyond what you write about.
