Wow!
that's score of the year material right there, just by that two samples
 
I mean, wow! Fantastic Beast and Nutcracker, both with JNH on his fantasy mode, wow!

Hands down one of my favorite moments in the score! Really stood out to me on my first viewing; I was disappointed to realize later that night that it wasn't included on the album, but thankfully "Lando's Closet" still helped satisfy my craving for the theme. Still, though, I love how the strings swell at the beginning of this appearance of it.

Even if I was a fan of Michael Giacchino, I dont think I'd consider him a particularly deep or nuanced composer, generally.

Let's just say the puns and the (lack of) musical depth go hand in hand.

Which is rather unfortunate. It became tiresome quite a while ago. The novelty has surely worn off by now.

Perhaps Powell takes his work seriously?

How great is this? 
 
 

The statements of the theme beginning at 4:35 are so great.

I'm very sorry to say that, on first listen at least, I don't particularly enjoy "The Landing."  Here's hoping my opinion changes with time and seeing the movie.
 
"Quarantine" on the other hand is much more interesting and satisfying presentation of the same theme.

Looks like some good stuff on that album, in addition to the Williams: THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, MULAN, TWIN PEAKS, THE MATRIX... I think I'll have to pick this one up.

You're absolutely right, Locrius.  Not sure where Stefan was coming from with his post here.  Hopefully he will apologize.

Idly wishing for a recording of a new arrangement is fan-entitlement?  It's not like he said "This project is trash because Williams didn't record blah blah."  The tone seemed light-hearted to me.

So excited for this album. Now if only he had taken the chance to also studio-record his new Han & Leia theme arrangement!!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support!
 

As a trumpet player who worked on the JW concerto (unfortunately my orchestra, symphony Nova Scotia, in Canada is too small to perform it with me) I can really appreciate that a great player like yourself would want to record the piece. Especially with John conducting. This will be the reference version of this concerto for generations to come.
I will most definitely contribute what I can
Cheers

Hi all!
I wanted to share a project that I"m doing very soon. You can read more about it on the kickstarter page, but I'm recording John's Trumpet Concerto with a full orchestra, with John himself conducting! I've raised a majority of the funding for the full orchestra and recording fees, but am doing this campaign to raise the remaining gap. If any are interested in contributing or sharing, there are rewards on the page and I'd appreciate you all for helping to make this a reality!!
Thanks for reading!
Best,
Tom Hooten, Principal Trumpet of the Los Angeles Philharmonic

Wow thank you!! I appreciate the support!!

I would have to see the cue in it's proper place in the film to really make any kind of judgement. But I probably don't agree with you.
 
 
The scene it was intended for really isnt very serious, so I'm not sure what your argument is. Also, what mickey mousing?
 

Here's James Newton Howard's Concerto for Violin, as officially released by Onyx Records:

I really cannot thank you enough for making this project happen.  Not only to have a new recording of my favorite Williams concerto featuring one of our finest trumpet players, but conducted by the Maestro himself.... I must be in heaven!
 
Judging by your performance of the first movement with the Marine Band, I know we're all in for a real treat.
 
 
Is this largely the same orchestra that recorded the new Spielberg/Williams volume in 2016?
