Trope reacted to Alex in Hollywood Bowl names stage after John Williams
I’ve heard it’s now been renamed The John Williams (adapted by William Ross) Stage.

Trope reacted to Giftheck in Using AI to manipulate film score audio (dialogue removal, instrument isolation, etc)
No version of The Lion King includes the insert for 1M2 Scar's Dinner that is exclusive to the film. Previously I just mocked it up by ear (and comparing I did a pretty decent job) but now MVSep is far enough along I felt comfortable trying to use it to retrieve this piece.

Trope reacted to Alan in The Official La-La Land Records Thread
It's obvious what the four unapproved releases are.
1-3 is the LOTR trilogy remastered and as written/recorded with everything from the theatrical and extended editions with all significant alternates.
4 is The Star Wars Saga - The John Williams Music Collection. A massive XX disc set containing every we want plus a bonus disc of remixes of Disco Star Wars.

Trope reacted to Mephariel in James Bond is better than everything
Yeah this is a not a big deal. Mainly because Bond doesn't age like a regular person anyway, so his reality is always warped. Who cares if he dies or not. His continuity was never taken that seriously to begin with.

Trope reacted to jjstarA113 in John Powell & Stephen Schwartz - Wicked (2024) & Wicked: For Good (2025)
I'm just gonna say it: I think Batu Sener should take over for the How to Train Your Dragon remakes. It's evident from Ice Age...Buck Wild and Harold and the Purple Crayon - and now this advert - that he's more than adept at mimicking Powell; Sener himself even worked on the Dragon sequels (music assistant on Dragon 2 and additional music on The Hidden World). And besides, most of the 2025 remake's score was basically a re-recording of the 2010 score anyway, or reusing the same themes in new arrangements. Powell should use this opportunity to do more original music instead of replaying the hits, while Sener needs the exposure. I'm sure some movie fanboys who aren't familiar with Sener's game would be upset at first, but then it'd come out and nobody would tell the difference except us.

Trope reacted to Jurassic Shark in Wizard of Oz Sphere Re-Recording
Singin' in the Rain has quite a good-sounding original recording!

Trope reacted to Turbo in Wizard of Oz Sphere Re-Recording
Supposedly, they did.

I completely agree. This is something I've wanted to hear for a long time...and with use of MVSEP, it can also be completely instrumental.

Trope reacted to Datameister in Wizard of Oz Sphere Re-Recording
Just bought this in lossless on 7Digital. Goddamn, this is fantastic. I'm ambivalent at best about the whole Sphere production. But if they wanted to revisit the music, this was the right way to do it.
Do I wish they'd gone the extra mile and re-recorded everything, even the unused music? Of course. And the cuts to this version of the film itself leave us with some omissions that span from annoying (bits of the Munchkinland sequence) to heartbreaking ("If I Were King of the Forest"). And of course, anytime you go from an old mono recording to a new stereo recording, there are tradeoffs. You get a lot of new beautiful details in the sound, but some of them don't match up with your memories/perceptions of the old mono version. And yes, I do hear some specific performance choices that I wish were a little closer to the original.
But the bottom line is that this is a gorgeous re-recording of some really outstanding music. I'm so glad they released it. It's a great complement to the '95 Deluxe Edition.

Trope got a reaction from Tydirium in Wizard of Oz Sphere Re-Recording
On first impressions alone, this is a really neat concept (the album recording, that is). I look forward to exploring it in more depth, but from a brief skim, it sounds like the orchestra is doing a solid job of imitating the sound and style of playing of the original recording.

Trope reacted to Smeltington in Harry Potter - The John Williams Soundtrack Collection 7CD boxset from La-La Land Records (2018)
It's incredible! So much fun, love the violin parts. It also perfectly nails that propulsive end credits type feel of "wow, didn't you just have such a great time watching this movie???"

Trope reacted to Alex in Harry Potter - The John Williams Soundtrack Collection 7CD boxset from La-La Land Records (2018)
Listening to this once again. This might be a hot take, but I think the full orchestral version of “Double Trouble” in “The Firebolt and End Credits” is up there with the best two minutes of music JW has ever composed. There is some outstanding orchestration going on.

Sener’s skill truly has soared. He has fooled me!

Trope reacted to Edmilson in The Official La-La Land Records Thread
Late 90s, early 2000s Horner scores have such a warmth that makes them so appealing and inviting to me. From him winning the Oscar for Titanic until House of Sand and Fog in 2003 is my favorite period of his career. I wish to see all the scores from that era given the expanded treatment.

Trope reacted to HyenaBoy in Alexandre Desplat - Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)
Still waiting for an official release for the expanded scores for the Giacchino Jurassic World scores. Also, I think expanded scores should also be released on digital as well as physical (not everyone has a CD player, after all).

Once again, I advocate for Bicentennial Man, Mighty Joe Young, and Deep Impact! Late 90s Horner, let's do it.

I think if LLL can do A BEAUTIFUL MIND, it would make a nice 25th anniversary title next year to coincide with the film's 4K release, which will also be labeled a 25th anniversary title.

Trope got a reaction from Tydirium in Alexandre Desplat - Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)
I agree (mostly).
I do actually miss having a 40-60 minute OST album of highlights curated by the composer/their team. It makes the music more accessible IMO - I've enjoyed investigating Desplat's Jurassic World, but there have been several other 2-hour score releases that I just haven't had the stamina to endure.
IMO Following the example of Avatar: The Way of Water would be most suitable for big blockbuster scores - A regular score release of highlights (about 1 hour long), plus an extended album with more music (as long as required).
