it's too bad it's the only pieces from Williams that seem to be taken semi-seriously. They are kind of boring to hear in a concert hall and might turn off potential new John Williams enthusiasts .Something like Adventures on Earth is much more awesome to hear live

Sure, "Adventures on Earth" is much more spectacular and flashy, but the Schindler's List suite is really superb when heard live, even though much of its success depends on the soloist's bravura and comprehension of the piece.

Not every audience is looking for bombast.

Is that the suite that features Yerushalayim Shel Zahav?

[Nick Parker 3,040]

No, the three pieces are "Theme from Schindler's List", "Jewish Town" (my favorite of the three), and "Remembrances" (which I actually prefer to the Theme itself).

This orchestra did Adventures on Earth at this time lsat year - The rest of the program was Rozsa's Spellbound, Bernstein's On The Waterfront...and a really long rachmaninov piano concerto containing the variation from Somewhere in Time among other things.

I agree that "Remembrances" is better than the main theme, in fact I'd say it's my favorite theme/cue from the film.
