My only exposure to this score was one of the poppier arrangements of the main theme, so I pretty much subconsciously wrote off the rest of the score for years.  Not available, not intriguing, not a problem for me.  But thanks to the new release—and, even more so, thanks to@TownerFan's excellent podcast with Mattessino commemorating it—I was exposed to cues like "Top of the World" and the training material, and this became an instant buy.  One of the joys of the mature phase of my Williams fandom has been discovering that there's something worth having even on the Williams scores you think you don't care about (even that one cue on Images that I can't bring myself to buy the whole album for... )

That would be Too Far and Away! I'd prefer Stavanger Symfoniorkester!

I think the Suite itself has been around since the 90s, but for some reason, Williams has never recorded it.  This will the be the first, if released.
 
Incidentally, for any signature edition questions, search FSO on Youtube--they have done almost all of them:
 

I know, but they are all dead.  

He just said in concert that he will be starting writing the music for the new Indiana Jones in 1-2 weeks 😁

Welcome (back to my) home, Maestro!   Does Corporate Night mean it's only for bigwigs, or just that it's priced for bigwigs?

Yeah. Like some martial arts vampire priest.

JW and JG had an oath. Whoever was the first to drive the Berlin Phil, would program the other composer's music from Star ****.

Fliiiiiiipendo!

It's not bad. But it seems to be part of Disney's move to "Hey, do we have to keep paying this Williams fellow?"

I'd be surprised if the tweaked "Across the Stars" made it to the album, since she already recorded it in the studio.  Wasn't that itself an update of an earlier violin arrangement she performed somewhere in Europe the year before the album came out?
 
Upshot: there's plenty of room on the album for "Crimebuster for Violin and Orchestra."
 
Unrelated: this would never happen, but wouldn't it be cool for Williams to do a Halloween album with Mutter?  Tracks 1-3 are done already!

Well, you should be!

That's not a very far-reaching love, LOL!
 
In all seriousness, looking forward to the next album, but kinda bummed that there are so many "evergreens". THE LONG GOODBYE is a nice addition, though.

And it's both fascinating and hilarious as usual.  I don't usually find myself grinning ear to ear while driving alone, but it's guaranteed whenever these guys drop a new episode. 
 
I was glad to hear some well-earned praise for Giacchino's Marvel fanfare and some well-earned apathy for that anonymous hackwork that plays over the Disney+ Star Wars logo.  Let's hope, as they suggest, that someone at Disney comes to their senses and commissions a proper fanfare in the coming years.
 
Meanwhile, I have Johnny's next late-career reimagining project: Fantasy for Orchestra on the Amblin Logo!

Wow.  I was just re-listening to the violin arrangement of Rey's Theme about a week ago thinking, "If all Williams did for the rest of his career was reinvigorate his concert suites for violin and orchestra, it would be more than enough."  Instead, we get even more of that AND the promise of new film work.  What a gift.
