[What is your dream program for the Berlin concert?]

So, we will have the 3 pieces for sure.(picture) Was to be expected. I am surprised that the Elegy is performed again. I am also angry that Anne-Sophie Mutter is not there. Germany is just her home country. Furthermore, I would be happy to see some sad string pieces, e.g. The Immolation Scene or Anakin's Dark Deeds. So far, the Adagio from Star Wars 7 has not been performed enough, only in the concert in Walt Disney Hall, and honestly, it was not an exhilarating interpretation, compared to the inspiration on the album. In general, I would be happy to hear more unfamiliar pieces. I agree with the thesis that nowadays almost only the hits are performed, which is of course sad considering the vast repertoire. Well then, I'm still very happy to have gotten tickets at all, and even more so that he comes across the Atlantic again is a miracle.

I hope Yoda's Theme won't be played. Never really got into that one. 

Then just listen to the version with Anne-Sophie Mutter and your opinion will change immediately.

I think it could have been good if Williams had written the theme like with SOLO - A Star Wars Story...

Yates has no taste, so it makes sense he wouldn't work with JW. 

Was very surprised that he got Phantastics Beasts (btw I don't get warm with the music for the films by J.N. Howard, I think Desplat would have done it better!?)

[J.K. Rowling didn't like JW because the music didn't sound English enough? Fact or fiction?]

So I would say Williams' score sounds more like winter than Russia. It might be somehow related, but I don't think Rowling wasn't ultimately responsible for Williams leaving. I also think that John Williams was perhaps not entirely right musically for the following films, especially those, which we're scored by Nicolas Hooper. This melancholic, but also youthful (sometimes guitar-) sound by him is very well made and fits the mood of the film perfectly. Maybe Williams Initial themes and general sytle wouldn't have worked that good, bot of course we don't know.

In the matter of why he did not come back for DH2, simply schedule problems are given. But here it is said that Yates was communicating tardily with Williams. There's room for conspiracy theories, of course, but I wouldn't think very much about this. Desplats Score isn't perfect, but I think it makes a good job although.

I don't think it will be available anywhere as a live video broadcast.

 

I'm contemplating whether to stay awake until 2AM and hear the premiere live or go to sleep and hear it fresh in the morning...
