Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 thanks for the scans! So Placido Domingo has Williams in High regard. Good to know an important Spanish character likes williams Wanst Pavarotti the one who asked, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Wanst Pavarotti the one who asked, anyway?No it was always Domingo, who is the LA Opera Artistic Director.But in the late 90's Nagano did requested Williams an aditional movement for Holst's The Planets suite. The comission went to someone else for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comission went to someone else for some reason.So that's where 'Pluto' has come.Shame Williams didnt want to tiker with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard Pluto, but I seem to remember that my good friedn Romão did, and didn't had all that much praise for it... In the end, it would always be compared with Holst's work, and those are some shoes to fill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think anyone adding a piece of music to an existing body of work, like "The Planets", which was completed in the eyes of the original composer, who was also accomplished, and is widely known and appreciated as one of the best classical works, is kinda insulting and sacrilegious. I don't really care how good the newer composer that they would select is, you just don't do something like that. That's like adding another variation onto Elgar's Enigma set. The work is solidified, don't mess with it.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Also, there is mounting scientific evidence suggesting that Pluto is not a true planet, but a very large asteroid from the Kuiper Belt (a formation of numerous aterouds) that has got caught in the sun's gravitational pull.Essentially a giant rock in space.

nightscape94 965 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 True. There's actually two bodies with a gravitational equilibrium. I don't remember the name of the other asteroid that rotates with Pluto.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah, I don't like the idea of adding to a piece. I'm still a little ticked off about Mozart's Requiem. I wonder what it would've been if he'd finished it. He had to go and die at the worst time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
