Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 This early 70's recording, of Williams playing the piano (with Edgard Lustgarten on cello) on the Prokofiev and Ward-Steinman Cello Sonatas has finally been released on CD.A must, if you ask me:Music for Cello and Piano by Sergei Prokofiev & David Ward-Steinman Only miss the original LP cover picture of a still quiet young Williams.

scissorhands 16 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Wow! I didn't know Williams recorded such a thing. I've just ordered it (7 euros aren't a big deal).Thanks for the info, Miguel!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Don't care I'll just skip that stuff. I own a SACD with the Cantata from Alexander Nevsky coupled with Pictures at an Exibition by Mussorgsky.I just avoid the later one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well, Prokoviev was a film composer afterall.Not such a great one, in my opinion. The music is great, but it doesn't seem to fit the images as well as, say, a Korngold or Steiner score from roughly the same era did.Don't care I'll just skip that stuff. I own a SACD with the Cantata from Alexander Nevsky coupled with Pictures at an Exibition by Mussorgsky.I just avoid the later one.It has much more in common with film music than a Prokofiev sonata though...Marian - looking forward to seeing Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov live in two weeks.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ok I just got this.Interestingly the booklet seems to be a direct re-print of the old release, since it talks about John Williams being a prolific jazz pianist and composer and having scored Images and Fiddler On The Roof.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 I just found this incredibly helpful list for the casual fan in Amazon, and thought I'd share the joy.Or, you know, admit any mistakes the list might have.The list has no errors, it was done by a dear friend, and also full of knowledge in all things John Williams. He used to be around, and was kind of tired with the atitude of certain board members. Who can blame him for that.I do keep in touch with him, not just to talk about Johnny's music, but mostly about life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
