    Martyprod got a reaction from Thor in RIP Michel Legrand   
    I have been very lucky to have recorded this video in 1997/1998 i think (not sure) on My VCR. Back then , the onyx german channel was posting some of the boston pops show kind of in "loop" mode, but unfortunatly didn't posted all of them. 
    they did 4  tunes on this concert but the 3 other tunes that i tried to post at the same time have been removed by youtube. certainly because of the third guest, tonny benett. i'll try to repost ithem again, hoping that youtube will not block the videos this time.
     
    I studied Jazz piano 24 years ago with one of Legrand's session Pianist. It was for the movie "3 places pour le 26". it was featuring actress Mathilda may some years after she did "Lifeforce".
    It was a musical, from Jacques demy, featuring Yves montand as the main actor and of course, Michel to compose the soundtrack. they tried to re-produce the success of the "parapluies de Cherbourg", but it didn't worked at all.
    A bluray of this movie is available in france. My (ex) teacher (i only had one piano teacher in my life) plays the piano in one of the scene, and was the one who was taking care of all the rehearsal with the dancers and singers for the screen.
    I know some anecdotes on michel and the production of this movie from my teacher's mouth, but for personnal reason, I'll not share them sorry. i
    I don't think it must be known the day he passed away.
     
    I'll come back here to post the link to the THREE (!!!) other videos once they will be uploaded (and i hope, not blocked).

    Martyprod reacted to Marc in Harry Potter - The John Williams Soundtrack Collection 7CD boxset from La-La Land Records (2018)   
    OK so I just received my box, opened it and started reading one of the booklets, looks wonderful and all !
    Then I play the first CD and... it only has 9 tracks, with one being 28 minutes-long !!
    So I listen to it, sounds like it is CD1 but with an extremely weird sequencing, and tracks 8 and 9 not working properly.. 
    I then try the 2nd one, and... it has the exact same thing 😶
    I then try CD3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ...guess what 😯
     
    I got 7 CDs of this :
     

     
    Gonna email LLL right way about it, but did this happen to anyone else here ?

    I know a lot of us here are fanatical about John Williams, and at times that may seem like a niche interest, so it is always lovely to see the outpouring of admiration for him from the general public. It is a wonderful reminder of just how important his music is, and of how many people his music has touched.
     
    There are literally generations of people making their way home from the concert hall still enjoying the memory of his music.

    Fantastic concert. Probably the best renditions of the concert arrangements that I have ever heard. The players really gave everything, and I'm sure JW enjoyed it greatly.
