Are this and Hunchback available anywhere in Europe (online)?

Music Box is also out of stock. Does anyone know when Intrada will resupply?

Years ago I got a free CD called "Wings of a Film", which is Hans Zimmer music was recorded live at a film music concert in Ghent in 2000.
A lot of Zimmer regulars are listed as performers, like Zimmer himself, Lisa Gerrard, Lebo M, Heitor Pereira, Gavin Greenaway, Rupert Gregson Williams, Bruce Fowler, etc.
One credit that caught my eye was John Powell, credited as playing "third percussion from the left"
Does anyone know anything about this? Did he used to play percussion before becoming a composer?
Zimmer brought his whole gang to Ghent for that concert (the first one with his music performed live) at the time. (By the way, a brief fragment from that concert can be seen in this short documentary at 1:31.)
If I remember correctly, Powell also played some percussion when he was guest of honour at the 2006 World Soundtrack Awards (see the same video at 9:23 for a very brief two-second excerpt from that concert).
Very recently at the Krakow Film Music Festival he performed alongside the orchestra on a few of the pieces, including with a Spanish percussion instrument on Ferdinand and the viola on The Bourne Identity. (I believe he played the viola when he was younger?)

It's when 3M2 The Dinosaurs ends and 3M2A The Entrance Of The Park begins, basically when it segues from the glory of the dinosaurs scene to the jeeps traveling to the visitor center. On the album version Johnny made in 1993, they are overlapped so closely, you are still revealing in the majesty of the dinosaur music when it fairly abruptly jumps to the jeep-traveling music. But in the film itself, and therefore in the new main program, more of the recorded opening of 3M2A is heard before the fast part of the cue begins. It sounds sooooooooo much better this way! I love it so much.
I seem to remember that in the score as it was written 3M2A also entered a beat or measure later.
My copy is still underway so haven't heard it yet, but does the film version match the written score?

Does anyone know if there are any 'interesting' wrong takes used for the 2013 20th Anniversary assembly? (That are not on the LLL releases because they're not the film or album takes.)

It's 4th of July weekend, so what better way to celebrate than to pick up David Arnold's iconic score (if you haven't already!)?
Enjoy a $10 discount on us.
You're shipping from the UK, right? Asking with post-brexit import fees in mind...

These two scores I count among my favourite Horner scores as well, nice to see they're back. I made a custom playlist back in the day assembling a 'bonus tracks' album containing the alternate or film version material from both; curious to see what will be new on the CAPD album.

Maybe they will rerelease the two first Jurassic Park scores with a new remaster/remix of all tracks? They used the album masters last time, resulting in a few volume differences (which were most noticeable in the expanded "Rescuing Sarah").
Curious to see what will be new for this release. (And I also feel this should be forever in-print, so well done that they're reissuing this score.)

I will also go out of my way not to give any direct money anymore to customs and the national mail service for their "handling" fee...
Terrific to see this score expanded, by the way. The theme is one of my favourites, and most of the underscore is pretty effective too.

Great news! I assume this is not going to appear on CD?
-
Don't confuse lack of response with lack of contribution.
Great project, hope that similar Williams projects will be possible, well at least in the long run, too.

"Deraan" in this sentence in Flemish dialect ("eraan" in Dutch) means they're all finished/dead.

I thought this was interesting too, "The Little Things" is terrific:
QuoteBefore Coachella, and before I started doing Jack Skellington [live], I began doing some training to try and bring back my range. When it came time to do Big Mess, I’d already stopped doing that. I had to find a voice, and that was part of the fun of the process. I know what Jack Skellington’s voice is, but I don’t know what my voice is anymore. I only did one song in the last quarter-century. It was for this movie Wanted, and I cut a song [“The Little Things”] for [director] Timur Bekmambetov. That was it!

Great news! But if it's already open for subscriptions and there's only one performance, I guess chances will not be high to acquire tickets for this?

Great news. Would you know which other titles they're planning to get in stock?

Would the Jane Eyre recording by any chance come from this concert?

Steude as concertmaster was a definite upgrade, otherwise it was also pretty much as good as it gets (though the lineup for the first concert was also good). Schütz, Schorn, Dervaux, Lenaerts, they are all great. I didn't see the horn section well from where I was sitting... was it Janezic messing up the horn solo? If so, we can't complain there either, because he's the best.
Yes it was Janezic that played the horn solos on both days. After the Saturday performance, I was very happy that there was only one real flub on Sunday in "Leia's Theme".

I'm unfamiliar with these films. What is the connection between Payback and Pelham?
Shire used the 12-tone system for his score, and the Payback main titles definitely mirrors/channels that Pelham theme:

The main question is will there be many or any tickets left in a few weeks. I'd love to have planned this a bit earlier so I know if I can make it or not.
