Anybody knows when the concert overture based on The Cowboys was premiered?

Interesting question, Nick. There has to be some study on it.
I guess the "danger" of headphones is that people tend to turn the volume up too much to drown out environmental noise.

Hymn is nice but it gets OTT towards the end with the choir. I used to like bits of the rest of the score such as Omaha Beach but I never connect with JW's long drawn out dramatic pieces (usually his finale tracks). That's not just a JW thing - I have the same issue with Horner's 10 minute tracks.
What about the final tracks of the Braveheart OST?

If you want sound effects, check out Kunzel's line of mediocre albums.

Start by including Schubert's 8th, which was so essential in the film.

So...much...
Indeed.

Perhaps we'll finally get a film that's just named "Star Wars"?

Let's hope it's JW's rejected score to The Color Purple.

Majority Report by John Williams. I like all the music on the CD but don't like the score that much. Does that even make sense?
I'm sure the score doesn't like you either.

Well, give it up then!

It's still available here, but act fast:

You don't like it that much?

As long as they're on Spotify, I'm fine.

What was the excuse in Jurassic World?

The spirit of the baroque was more performer centered than composer centered, to be fair.
So wildly differing interpretations are quite acceptable, I think. I don't like the idea that "historically accurate" interpretations are superior. All interpretations are in their own way valid.
I don't really care what's considered right and wrong, as long as they make the music sound great!

That wont matter to me. My original cd is 33 years old and is deteriorating. Many of my 1985 to 1990 cds are developing pin holes.
I have a spare copy of the original 2CD release (from the 80s) of Star Wars in very good condition, and I can sell it to you for a decent price. PM if you're interested.

I like and listen to both.

Too Ren Faire-ish for me
Period performance groups really are hit and miss with me. Some really make it, some don't. What do you think about the tracks I suggested above?

So are you both saying that, when it comes to baroque, there is no one single right interpretation of a certain piece? Jurassic Shark uses the expression 'informed guesswork, but isn't that the same as saying 'we really have no clue at all?' I'm getting the impression that all Harnoncourt wanted to do is being different than everyone else.
From what I've read on the subject, historical instruments and written historical accounts are used as the basis to get the music as close as possible to how it was played back then. Of course, such old accounts are neither complete nor 100% reliable, and we can never be sure how the performances actually sounded back then. But I have the impression that most of the well-known groups really strive to be as authentic as possible (such as Pinnock, Hogwood, Carmignola, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin), while a few clearly exaggerate (such as Il Giardino Armonico). A common criticism of the early historical performance groups (such as Harnoncourt) is that they took things too far, sounding too eccentric.

That's the two I got. And soon I'll sell them on eBay.

Are we sure he didn't play it in concert before the recording was released?
