The Illustrious Jerry

Obviously this is just wonderful to see and hear, not just as an early treat but also as a reminder of the blessing that Williams is alive and well to write, record and perform this piece and an entire new score at the age of 90. I thought the Obi-Wan theme was alright and understand why it was structured the way it was, but this right here is a return to a type of full-bodied and well-developed standalone piece like only the maestro can deliver. Every progression where it should be, covering so much ground in just a 4-minute arrangement. The warm harmonies are very reminiscent of TROS and conform beautifully to the kind of classy and mature style of Williams' later years. Seeing Mangold's active involvement in the process is the cherry on top, and hopefully bodes well for the treatment of the score proper and I suppose just the film itself too. "Why don't you play it at the Bowl?" is such a great line for the anecdotal Williams pantheon. Amazing.

WHAT!!?!? 
 
Wow!!!  
 
It's absolutely gorgeous, a classic Hollywood theme from the Golden age of film scoring. It sounds like Williams has been quite inspired by whatever he's seen in this film.
 
This also leans into the film noir flavour of Irina's theme from KOCS, though sweeter and less femme fatale. 

A similar albeit more brief example that often comes to mind as a highlight from TLJ. 0:52 to 1:01 is such an awesome isolated passage!

I purposely haven’t been engaging with the forum for a little while, but I really do feel that this sentiment bears repeating, even though others have already put it much better than I can. As someone who only really started digging into film scores not but a few years ago, at a time when a lot of the sets I would now be interested in purchasing had already sold out, I find myself extremely grateful for the hard-working folks at La La Land Records (and all the specialty labels in general) who continue to make reissues like this possible. This will no doubt be a superb release of an all-timer score that should ideally and unequivocally be available for anyone to purchase at anytime. The same was the case with A.I., which became a favourite of mine thanks to the availability of a new edition. All told, I’m extremely glad it’s become possible to purchase this score presentation again, and I look forward to picking it up very soon. Cheers to all and stay well!

A top-notch order from earlier in the year. Jumped on Empire of the Sun instantly after years of it being out of stock. Also very happy to finally own one of Goldsmith's finest. À ta santé!
