I'll read it when I have the actual book in my hands. No spoilers before that. (I actually haven't ordered it yet, because I'm holding it as a joker in case I need to order something else from Amazon that's below the free shipping threshold - but I'll place my order in time before they actually start shipping)

The Definitive John Williams Plagiarism/Homage Thread
Marian Schedenig replied to indy4's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I'm sure it was. I just wasn't aware of it. Imagine my surprise when I came across it while making my way through my new Quincy Jones box set. -

It's been too long since I've seen the film, so I don't remember if the crow actually ever sings the song in the film - but that's what I imagine when I hear the Paul Williams version, and in that context, I think it fits just fine. And while the song may be cloying - to me most of Goldsmith's songs are, and this is the one case where it feels appropriate and I don't mind it (unlike e.g. with The Piper Dreams).

The Wiener Karajan is way too dirty for me to enjoy it much (kudos to Karajan though for actively helping to establish this work in continental Europe*). But I like his 83 Berlin remake very much. It's probably my current 2nd favourite, after Gardiner. *) Not that it's *that* popular, mind you. It gets played every once in a while, but the last time I've heard it live in concert was in 2001. There can't be many chances to hear it hear, because I've been meaning to do so again for years, and have finally given up and bought a ticket to the Proms next month to get to hear it.

I linked to the Kalmar recording of the Symphony in Waves (which is the version I have). Does the Schwarz recording work for you? Music that's not specifically programmatic doesn't often invoke images in my mind, but the static middle movement always makes me think of two vast metal plates slowly grating against each other: I also like his Second Symphony, which starts out in a hyper dramatic mode: The first Kernis I'd ever heard (back in the early 2000s in a concert that also included Williams's ESB suite and Corigliano's Chaconne for a Red Violin) was the whacky New Era Dance:

I've never personally understood the fuzz about Atlantis, but Treasure Planet is one of my favourite JNH scores. -

This should be fun even for people who don't like Herrmann: It's got none of the brooding minimalist stuff Herrmann is mostly known and adjectivised for - if anything, this is the more Golden Ageish side of him. And it's brilliantly performed and recorded.
