Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 How much unreleased music is there from The Prisoner of Azkaban? Are there any major highlights besides the Buckbeak Finale and Peter Pattigrew's theme? Does it form a more cohesive narrative like the A.I complete score does? Including alternates, about an hour I thinkYesYesInteresting. I honestly wish they would just skip 1 & 2, going straight to PoA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Previn with the RPO, Rattle with the BPO. Groves with the RPO is *particularly* exceptional. That's probably my favorite.There's also an interesting organ arrangement by Peter Sykes. And of course the original two piano version has had some neat recordings.

Bespin 8,484 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Dutoit and Karajan's second version (with the Berlin Philharmonic; the VPO plays really dirty in some parts of his first recording).I was hesitating between the two versions, by thinking it twice, maybe 1961 is too "aged" for my tastes. Will try to find the 1981 recording.Here in Québec, a great music lover named Edgar Fruitier recommends the version by Stokowski/LA Philh.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Gerhardt, Mehta, Kunzel, Kojian and Williams/Boston PopsThe best in my opinion by other dudes, off the top of my head:Charles Gerhardt - Classic Film Scores: Star Wars/Close EncountersZubin Mehta - Cinema Gala: Star Wars/Close EncountersCharles Gerhardt - The Empire Strikes BackCharles Gerhardt -Return of the JediVarujan Kojian - Star Wars TrilogyErich Kunzel - Star Tracks/Star Tracks IIThese have been classic staples of my collection since I was a kid with competent and occasionally superior versions of classic Williams music. It's difficult to nail the Williams sound, but these do it. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,484 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 What Williams re-recordings and compilations are the must haves?Talking about John Williams conducting himself, these re-recordings are must have:- Williams: The Music of America (Compilation)- Williams: By Request (BPO) (Compilation)- Williams: The Hollywood Sound (LSO)- Williams: The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration (BPO)Then, there are the JW interprets.I think the three Gerhardt are a good start. Each JW's fan must have these CD in their collection:- Gerhardt: John Williams - Classic Film Scores- Gerhardt:The Empire Strikes Back- Gerhardt: Return of The JediIf you don't have a Star Wars overdose yet, these two are also a must:- Kojian: The Star Wars Trilogy- Mehta: Star Wars - Cinema GalaKunzel is also a great John Williams interpret, these are perhaps the two ones to begin with:- Kunzel: Star Tracks- Kunzel: Great Film FantasiesThen, I recently came across this very interresting compilation, mixing tracks conducted by John Williams an others, it's a kind of "Varèse Sarabande" sampler, if like me, you are a newcomer with their JW catalog:- Various: Great Composers (1999, Varèse Sarabande) (Compilation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well, you have to get Star Tracks II. So many great versions on there, including Star Trek TMP, Wrath of Khan, Voyage Home, SpaceCamp (these last two are superior to the film versions), Cocoon and Back to the Future. That was one of my introductory film score CDs.The versions of The Bicycle Chase and The Departure from E.T. on Star Tracks are amazing. The oboe (or clarinet?) playing E.T.'s theme in the underrated original version of The Departure around 2:45 is one of my favorite Williams moments on the Kunzel version.
