I figured he was somewhere in the audience, I was looking around for him. So cool to realize he was right upstairs from me. If my seats were a couple more to my left I wouldn’t have been able to see him sitting up there. I didn’t get any pics of him conducting, the ushers were quite strict with that. But I did snap these two

“The Eleventh Commandment” has that biblical/resurrection vibe.

The Baltimore Symphony, Seeking Cuts, Locks Out Its Musicians - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Their contract was up and they couldn't agree to terms, the BSO was not in good shape financially and they had recently announced they wouldn't perform summer concerts anymore, which the musicians also disputed.

I’ve met him twice, they aren’t terribly interesting stories but here is the first time meeting him: I flew to Boston to see Williams conduct the Boston Pops in 1996, I was 20 years old. It wasn’t a film music concert or anything and he didn’t conduct any of his own music. I asked the Pops staff if it would be possible to meet him, and they let me go backstage to meet him (I can’t even remember if it was before/after the concert or during intermission). Keith Lockhart was back there too, though he wasn’t conducting that night. I said hello and shook his hand. I got to spend a few minutes with JW, I can’t even remember what I said, probably just fanboy gushing. I was nervous as hell. Williams was very nice and thanked me for coming all the way from Baltimore to see him. He signed my Star Wars Anthology disc 4, which I then got framed. I didn’t get a picture with him, but I would on my next meeting…

John Williams albums by Philips Records (Boston Pops)
MrScratch replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
By Request was one of my very first CD purchases, in fact I got that and the Spielberg/Williams Collaboration at the same time in the early 90s. Those two CDs were the first I ever heard The Cowboys, 1941, etc. and made me want to really start collecting all of JW’s stuff beyond the big blockbuster scores. I used to really dislike Liberty Fanfare but it’s grown on me somewhat, though I agree that it doesn’t belong on a ‘greatest hits’ album. -
I have this entire EAP episode on VHS, recorded off the original PBS broadcast.

Not particularly, but I actually have 49 of his soundtracks now. I’m getting more acquainted with him.

THE EIGER SANCTION (1975) - 2021 2-CD Expanded Edition from Intrada Records
MrScratch replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Just listened to the Legacy podcast, MM ponders how Williams came to score Eiger Sanction, JW’s working relationship with Eastwood, where/how the jazz elements of the score originated, etc. Why doesn’t MM ask these questions to JW himself when preparing the album? Is JW not up for interviews when approving these releases? Listening to his old scores must bring back so many memories. Would be great to get some insights/anecdotes from JW himself about these scores.
