King Mark 3,624 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
