Agreed. At most we'll have a Solo-like situation.

Williams will score this movie, and I hope he does.  Since this is so personal to Spielberg, we might get a really special score from JW.

I’ve had “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” since the 90s, I had joined the BMG Classical Music club and picked it up through them as one of the “free” selections.
 
I’m not into Christmas music, I only got this to add to the Williams collection.  The few times I have ever played this has been as background music while decorating or hosting a holiday dinner party.  Not something I’ve ever listened very closely to.  But I’m with Jay, I far prefer the instrumental tracks to the ones with chorus.  

The “Joy To The World” CD is much better.

Finally got around to checking this out today, it was wonderful.  Love this picture of Williams, never seen it before.

I sometimes forget just how early Williams’ film career started, while the Golden Age composers were still around and working.  So cool to think about Alfred Newman hanging out and chatting with young Johnny.

A similar thread on the Kunzel collection would be most welcome.  I heard many a score for the first time through those CDs.

Add Jaws and this is basically a John Williams greatest hits album at the time of its release.  It is a shame Williams himself never recorded the full Star Wars suite.
 
You are making me want to acquire the last few Boston Pops albums that I’m missing. I’m currently acquiring the remaining Kunzel albums that I didn’t have.  I used to only buy them if there was a Williams piece on them.

Damn, I was hoping they'd have revealed their planned titles.

The track is from Kyle Eastwood's album Cinematic
 
 

HP, easily.  Was never big on TLW, and still am not.  JP is my favorite individual score from either box set, but there wasn’t much missing from JP to begin with.  Just getting the full children’s HP suite from SS alone makes that set more enjoyable to me.

Harry Potter by far. It's the best  expanded score release ever. The standard by which Star Wars and Indiana Jones should be released
 
There wasn't that much unreleased music on JP (most of it was released on the  anniversary release earlier) and Lost World is far from a favorite of mine...it's a bit in a category like Minority Report and WotW where I find the action music too loud, frenetic and directionless

Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh, Principal Librarian Michael Ferraguto, and moderator Allison Burr-Livingstone talk about the preparation of the BSO's 'Movie with Live Orchestra' concerts.  The L2P concert program of SW:TESB is discussed in great detail as the orchestra was scheduled to do this concert this weekend, but was cancelled because of the COVID-19 lockdown.
They also talk about Williams' 2018 appearance with the BSO and his 'first pitch' at Camden Yards the week before the concert.
The rest is just fanboy talk.
Enjoy

Buying them won't but listening to them might. I'm always seeking to expand my music knowledge and taste.
 
I do have that theme on a Kunzel recordings!

This track is a perfect little mini score unto itself.

Now that's something I personally would never do. I might consider not buying a John Williams expanded release that I know I'll hardly ever listen to, but I'd never sell a John Williams CD that I already own. I've never done that in 25 years of collecting JW!

Every single cue is so good, it's hard to choose one. However, if I had to, it's probably gonna be "Indy's Very First Adventure." 
 
When that comes on, you know the adventure is just about to start....
