How much is missing from the 2 disc LaLaLand Hook? -

I highly doubt it would be 9. It's likely 2 for each film and maybe a 7th disc with some outtakes/alternates etc. If we are lucky. -

I'd pay anything, including my soul. -
I can't choose, they are both brilliant.

John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020
aj_vader replied to Ricard's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I've tried to recreate the early mix of the Vienna Imperial March. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dHEjiEb1CrBNxZHEKl_AwVXOT8kno325/view?usp=sharing -

I guess it's nice to hear a different interpretation of it, but is a little dull how slowly it's played. -
John Williams & the Vienna Philharmonic: January 18/19 2020
aj_vader replied to Ricard's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Ah yes they are the same recording, I was blind sighted by the different shots/cuts of the footage. The mix is definitely different though. That performance also annoyingly has the snare drum being a bar late during the build back up to the repeat of the A section. I know they never would but I'd love to have the stems for the various microphones and do a more audience perspective mix as I find the percussion on the album mix far too forward, too bright and aggressive. Ah yes i've been trying to find those video uploads but they have been removed now Thank you for the response. -

This version/recording of The Imperial March... I think the mix and performance are better than the one they released on the album... I'm guessing the first one is the other performance that wasn't chosen for the album. Has the first video (Imperial March performance) been broadcast or released anywhere? -
Most frustrating release: UE Phantom Menace vs. 2012 LaLa Land Hook
aj_vader replied to WampaRat's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I know why people don't like Phantom Menace UE, but why all the dislike for Hook LLL? Because it's not complete? presentation? quality? -
Agreed. The Trumpets are quite thin, the trombones are leaving a lot more to be desired. Also really heavy compression on the far/room mics, i think they are trying to make up for a lacking performance. Doesn't even come close to the LSO performances.

Oh interesting! Thank you for the clarification. I remember someone on here almost 15 years ago now saying something like Expanded/Complete releases never sound as good as the OST's. However I remember the Lord of the Rings Complete Recordings Releases where the first time i'd thought "Wow this sounds superior to the OST's". The Phantom Menace Ultimate Edition being the prime example.

I'm assuming the LaLaLand release doesn't suffice? I've got the set, I'm not being sarcastic, i'm just wondering why it's not "definitive". Thanks.

YES!!!! I was hoping there was something like the Musical Journey that came with the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack, but with all the major themes across the 9 films. Ah the dreams!

I cried (seriously) when I heard it, felt so fresh and was fantastic to hear a modern studio recording with Williams conducting. It completely caught me off guard, wasn't expecting it at all.
