Sensationel. German Music Album Charts: For the first time in their history Williams, DG and Berliner Philharmoniker at 1. Look here https://www.offiziellecharts.de/charts/album The Williams Vienna Album was already a sensationel 6th place. And now with Berlin at 1...

The setlist in Berlin was much better with the Elegy, the Theme from Jurassic Park., Yoda´s Theme, Olympic Fanfare and Theme, Far and away Suite and so on...Sound the bells and the ASM Violin Concert is not my favourite Williams Music.

@Lord Montague:Yes, we are all Amateurs and you are the only professional

@Lord Montague: Thats not the only one. But i don´t feel like discussing it with you anymore. It is slowly getting on my nerves....

On Saturday he said...."to be standing before perhaps the best orchestra in the world". Thats it. That say all....

Best orchestra thing ? Whats that Look here: https://www.rbb-online.de/rbbkultur/themen/musik/rezensionen/buehne/2021/10/philharmonie-berlin-john-williams-dirigiert-die-berliner-philharmoniker.html

Thanks, Steve, that would be great... @bollemanneke: You can not speak with Lord Montague. He lives in his own VP world. Forget it. Maybe he is a Patron of the VP

Yes there are still Tickets available. You need an account and a membership. Then you can order Tickets... Sorry, but i have not heard that JW ever say, the VP is perhaps the best orchestra in the world. You may have dreamed it You have your opinion, i have mine. So what....The most critics see it the same way that the BP is much better than the VP for the music of JW. And i did not read any bad critics in any Newspaper about the Berlin concert all over the world. Everyone was excited. Thats the fact. But maybe they all have no idea, only you

These are the prices for Vienna: These prices are crazy. Everyone who was in Berlin can be happy.... 1 € 240,00 012 2 € 240,00 0123456789 3 € 195,00 0123456789 4 € 140,00 0123456789 5 € 90,00 0123456789 6 € 59,00 ausverkauft 7 € 35,00 0123456789 8 € 8,00 ausverkauft

Thats ridiculous to say the VP were more inspired and had more ambition than the BP. This is the exclusive opinion from Lord Montague. Allmost all critics see it completely different...

@Steve: Can you show the program here ?

@Lord Montague: Thats your Opinion. But many see that not so. The BP is the more American Orchestra like Vienna. And thats not bad for Williams Music. And what did John Williams say in Berlin ? He said the BP is maybe the best Orchestra in the World And there are other Soloists except Wenzel Fuchs. Here are the others for you: 1. Violin: Noah Bendix-Balgley, 2. Violin: Marlene Ito, Viola: Amihai Grosz, Cello: Bruno Delepelaire and Olaf Maninger, Doublebass: Janne Saksala, Trumpet: Guillaume Jehl, Trombone: Olaf Ott. Tuba: Alexander von Puttkamer, Pauke: Wieland Welzel, Drums: Raphael Haeger and Franz Schindlbeck were also all on Board. Only Flute, Oboe and Bassoon were not occupied with Soloists. I cannot imagine that it was any different in Vienna. There were no Honeck, no Steude and no Danailova. Thats not good...The other Soloists from Vienna i don´t know....But i think there were also missing a lot others...

Has everyone a program sheet from that concerts ?

In Vienna it was the same as in Berlin. Both Orchestras are filled with some Academy Members. It was not only in Berlin. Has everybody see Rainer Honeck in Vienna 2020 ? On the the other way, many say, the BP is much more suitable for the Williams music because it is the better symphony orchestra. Vienna is better when it comes to play Operas etc. or play with Singers. And then there is again ASM. I did not like Violin Concertos. And the "sound the bells" is terrible. So the new program in Vienna is by far not so good as in berlin. My opinion... And ticket prices want be much higher as in berlin, because of ASM. For such a event ASM gets big money and the VP ist not like the BP a foundation. Thats more like a private Club.

Maybe. But time have long changed. We are not in the Karajan etc. era. But has probably not really arrived here yet.

It sounds like all that want not play JW are snobbery. Thats complete bullshit. Sorry..

Steve, yes maybe for Sarah Willis But then she will definitely have an answer why the top soloists are missing

@May the Force be with You: Or its the other way. The BP think the JW Music is so easy to play that they can give their top Stars a rest. So they can Install young academy members and loanies from other orchestras.

Oh i think the BP Stars habe no desire to JW. They play only for Petrenko, Blomstedt, Muti, Gergiev etc. Or in other words for the real Superstar Conductors

Steve, I hope you know that studio recordings und live performances are a different thing. And a live performance on CD or LP is also a different thing to a real live performance. They press never the real live performance on CD or LP. They always operate the tone control... But for the concert we were lucky people. Now the US Government has made a travel warning for germany. So i think JW would not travel to germany at this time. That was a good planing by the BP

I was not in Vienna. So i can not say who plays for them. I have another opinion. I have heard a difference in sound. When they play classical music, it sounds different to the JW concert. It has much more perfection and a warmer sound.

A lot of live orchestras. OK. But it seems nobody has heard the BP in the original Formation. But all claim the BP can not sound better although they were never heard. That is nonsense. They speak about things they did not know. Between top class and world class is a small way. But it is a difference.

Ohh the player for which the BP is so famous are snobs. Aha...You can also tell yourself a lot. The fact is, the BP sound much better with their star players as with academy members und members from others orchestras.... I think here write people who have never heard the BP in their best Formation.

Come on, thats your opinion. Have you ever heard the original BP Flute section ?

Remco, yes you have understand. The quality of the BP is much more better with their star players. What do you think why they are their star players ? Because they are better than other players or not ? The BP is word famous because of exactly these players. And not because of their young academy players or players from other orchestras...
