Erik Woods 555 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 From Tommy Pearson host and producer of Stage and Screen:Hi guys,I've just returned from LA where I filmed long interviews with John Williams and James Horner. Although I talked to both about their relationship with the London Symphony Orchestra (parts of the interviews will be seen during the LSO - A Life in Film concert on the 4th April at the Barbican), I also took the opportunity to talk to them about their work generally.Both exclusive interviews will be available to watch at Stage and Screen Online (www.stageandscreenonline.com) in the coming weeks.But in the meantime, here's my 5 min promo for the LSO concert from John Williams which has been posted on the LSO's YouTube page: Enjoy! Another promo, featuring James Horner, will appear there in a few days.I also recorded 60 min audio interviews with John Powell, Cliff Eidelman and Trevor Rabin. So sign up at the site to get alerts! The interviews will be appearing in the next month.Cheers,TP -Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Given the 5 minute sample:I would rather pick every hair off my body one by one than listen to John Williams talk for 60 minutes.His music is fantastic, but his speech is about as engaging as watching turtles race across the United States.

indy4 155 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wait, are musicians usually just picked out individually to score films? I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,003 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I thought JW worked with LSO before SW. Wasn't Fiddler on the Roof performed by them? I recall a small snippet on that in the liner notes for the 30th anniversary album. But I can be wrong.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great concert! Sadly, it's too far for me I hope in the interview they managed to ask something to Williams about his future projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,685 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Damn, forgot about this concert. I really should make the effort and get up there (an appearance from Williams himself would remove all question of course).I have to agree with Blu though, I think JW's interview style leaves much to be desired unless you're after a cure for insomnia. Nice that it's in HD though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf 4 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm so going to this concert.I have to agree with Blu though, I think JW's interview style leaves much to be desired unless you're after a cure for insomnia. Nice that it's in HD though I thought it was quite insightful, actually. Especially his expansion upon what sets the LSO apart from other orchestras (he's bang on about the wind tradition here in Britain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
