Unrelated: that's an incredibly diverse and original program! Somebody should put that Blu-Ray on the market!

It's an awful, halfhearted theme park that was conceived in a miserly spirit, which they're now spending $2 billion to not-really-fix. Hopefully a fair chunk of that cash went to Rombi!

Rombi just composed 45 minutes of gorgeous, melodic, sonic lipstick for the pig that is Walt Disney Studios Paris Disney Adventure World. Just play this music and imagine you're walking through a theme park of the mind... Also, his new Children of the Resistance score is fantastic if you haven't tried it.

I'm flabbergasted that no one has posted this yet, but I'm pleased to report that Ax will be bringing the Williams concerto to (a tony suburb of) Chicago this summer at Ravinia! https://www.ravinia.org/events/detail/emanuel-ax-john-williams-concerto-260801

I'm such a cinematography neophyte, at least when it comes to comparison between "old" and "new" styles. Can anyone point me to a video comparing Spielberg's various cinematographers or providing context for what's different about Kaminski versus, say, Slocombe?

I'm sure with the intervening advent of AI, they could now make that 2018 cover look like Botticelli by comparison.

Wow, I hadn't even considered that! Did he bribe them to stay a few minutes longer some evening at Skywalker Sound?

He's back! Huzzah! I love this show. And is it me, or did he spiffy up his theme music a bit—better samples, lusher orchestration, something? I'm noticing bits I never heard before in this most recent batch of episodes.

Good job including "On Willows," but isn't this almost totally redundant with Berlin and Vienna? What else is unfilmed on here? BOTFOJ, Viktor's Tale, and Song for World Peace, I guess? P.S. It's been a while since I listened to On Willows and Birches, but I'm doing so right now, and holy cow! Is this the most tonal concert piece of the Maestro's career?

Just came on here to post this, and here it already is! JWFan is good. It is very, very good.

Does anyone have any info on the variations of JW music being used in NBC's Milan broadcasts? I heard something that sounded like a synthetically fuzzed-up slice of "Summon the Heroes" just now, but I might be misidentifying it? Were there new recording sessions or arrangements? Was the Maestro involved somehow?

At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Disney Adults. At last, we will have our revenge.

Great work! This video made me more conscious of the number of awesome sync points in this scene. A nine-film box set with isolated score tracks (or even nine iso tracks on Disney+) would be such a service to humanity.

I don't have good enough ears to contribute to mix debates, but holy cow, is "Arrival in New York" good. Is there a more triumphant reading of "Somewhere in my Memory" anywhere in the franchise than the last minute or so of that cue?

This is the Christmas track of the year!
