I'll ask a hypothetical - *If* I had a recording of last night's Tanglewood performance, would I be allowed to share a link to it in this forum?

Two words: Blood Moon.

If Star Wars didn't exist, or we were asked to name a title aside from it, then I'd probably suggest Jane Eyre (1970). If that had been a theatrical film eligible for Oscar nomination, I'd confidently have bet on it winning a Best Original Score. Next to that, the first Harry Potter - only because Hedwig's Theme epitomises what I love about JW's neo-romantic style.

This was very interesting for me with Han Solo's Theme; the quiet (fade out) false ending made me think 'that can't possibly be it', and it made me look forward to a witty surprise ending (which JW is sometimes consummately skilled in doing), but sadly when all subtlety was thrown out with the timpani solo at the end, I lost all hope of that. Then alas, the piece came to the clichéd long-note-crescendo/orchestra hit final note.
In other words, I'm a big fan of a witty surprise ending, but a false-ending as a means to this is cheap and lazy. The ending to The Forest Battle in RotJ impressed me, if for no other reason that it was a fitting and clever, and managed to overcome the loud obnoxiousness of what was the climax of the piece.

My Signature Editions collection is extensive, but by no means comprehensive.

Once upon a time he used to wear polo shirts. I noticed ever since his pacemaker operation, he doesn't seem to have appeared in public in anything other than his turtleneck (or tails when conducting).
Also, since the operation, I can't help but notice that his shoulder movement has been inhibited somewhat - he used to be able to make such grand sweep gestures with the baton. Now days he's more restrained. -
I went to Boston Film Night back in 2014. I had the Harry Potter 1 Deluxe score ready to receive signature, but he was whisked away before us. *sigh*.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. I'm at my wits end. I've had this melody stuck in my head for two weeks - this happens to me sometimes, but I eventually identify the tune, but not this one. I think it comes from a fantasy score (it's sort of a sweeping waltz). Does anybody know what this might be - I fed my impression into Sibelius and rendered a piano playback.Mystery tune (Piano).wav I'd be most grateful.

Rights issues I suppose. What puzzles me even more is that there seems to be officially-produced footage of the concert (akin to the 'Evening at Pops' series), of which only a few short minutes have been released. I don't know about others, but I'd be happy to pay money to see the full concert video.

I didn't get access to the broadcast until they were well into JW's half of the program - a lot of us are having trouble accessing the WCRB's direct website stream. I did the iTunes hack, which made it work. I'm of a good mind to be awake for the encore presentation to record it, but even then, I can't find any listing of this on the website's Monday schedule.

concerts are no longer available on demand unfortunately
Beginning with the 2017-2018 concert season, WCRB will continue to broadcast and stream the BSO in Saturday evening live performances from Symphony Hall, with encore presentations on Monday nights. These broadcasts, however, will not be available for post-broadcast on demand streaming via WCRB's and the BSO's web sites. In addition, these broadcasts will only be heard on WCRB. They will not be heard on affiliate stations around New England.
One of us, ideally living on the US east coast, needs to record the encore.

So is this available on demand? I can't find the link to the concert on the WCRB website.
I've been actively browsing the WCRB website. I think we'll have to wait 24 hours for it to be on demand. Unless someone here among us manages to fish it out of their temporary internet files.

Sent HL an email re. The Adventures of Han Signature Edition,
Heartbreak in a sentence right there.
Hold your horses mate. These things usually take some months to reach commercial publication. -

Just thought I'd brag that this arrived

OMFG! Just heard 'The Adventures of Han' for for the first time on iTunes (it's midnight here in Australia). This is the single most heroic piece JW has written since Superman. It's sure to be a concert showpiece for years to come. My God those trumpets!
Only minor criticism is that it's a bit derivative of Back to the Future. -
I had someone (a fan, or a minion?) of his PM me on Facebook asking if I'd shared JWfan's post.

Would you rather he play Hans Zimmer?

"Remember - to hear this concert on demand visit the WCRB website" said Ron Della Chiesa (the program announcer) when the concern finished.
I don't know if he was simply mistaken, because all talk of the concert broadcast (at least on this forum) was prefaced by the claim that it would NOT be available on demand.
I suppose many of us will be watching the radio's website to see if it's indeed true.
