  1. Another beautiful (heart-wrenching) peice of music is Henryk Górecki's Third Symphony. This one is amazing.
  2. I think the mikes were on the stage for all three nights, so maybe they will pick and choose. Thanks for taking all of those cool pictures. Those bag checks are kind of useless. For the rehearsal, I told them I had a camera in my bag, and they just said don't use it. The security for the actual concert is much more tight. I saw the ushers using thier wireless communications during the intermission, on Saturday, while I was leaning against the stage and getting a view of the Hall, and peering at the sheet music, and so forth. Darn, I can't get the Jane Eyre music out of my head.
  3. For those of you who don’t visit the FSM forum, here was a review of the concert from the NYT. I’ve also included a review from The New York Sun. Both reviews were favorable, but the reviewers present an “opposing” take on William’s conducting style. Also, The NYT article erroneously mentions that the concerts “were nearly sold out”. The concerts were sold out. In fact, based on what I saw on TV last night, it looked like the attendance for the JW gala was higher that the attendance for the Philharmonic’s “opening” concert. WEBMASTER'S NOTE: Those who don't visit the FSM forum may have also found the two articles via this site. The links to those reviews were posted two days ago on this site's Main Page: http://www.jwfan.com. PLEASE check the Main Page BEFORE posting any "news" on the message boards. Also, do not "copy and paste" reviews that can be found online. Thanks.
  4. Even though I joked about it earlier, I didn't think I would ever be waiting in a parking lot, humming the main theme from Presumed Innocent, waiting to see John Williams drive by in a car. It was so exciting. It was too exciting. I was actually waving to John Williams, the John Williams. I was tempted to take some pictures, but I couldn't believe that I was seeing John Williams, and that a fan was chasing his car down the street. I had to talk myelf out of doing this again tonight. Anyway, it was good to see that John Williams signed the card, of my new friend, who had dropped it off with the (security) assitant outside of the green room. The concert was great. I hope JW does this again at the Avery Fischer Hall. If there's an open rehearsal. I'll get there early, and I'll rush to the stage right before the intermision. It would be unbelievable to have my picture taken with John Williams. Jwfangirl, I hope you're able to get JW to sign your suite.
  5. Hello. I was one of the nine who were looking for John William's car in the parking lot (just kidding). It was great to see so many JW fans. I'm not sure if I'll post here, since there are so many other film score boards (Moviemusicuk, the Rozsa forum, FSM, filmtracks, goldenscores) with basically the same members posting the same stuff: http://mmuk64.proboards42.com/index.cgi?ac...7723&page=1 Anyway, I'm looking forward to Saturday's concert, the Indy IV score, and the YouTube videos of the rehearsal.
