Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I just returned home from the concert. What an awesome repertoire, and almost neat performance by the spanish national orchestra and choir. COnducted by George PehlivanianThe program was like this:The Raiders MarchHP & Philosoper's Stone suite: Hedwig's theme Sorcerer's Stone Nimbus 2000 Harry's Wondrous wordJurassic ParkThe Lost WorldIntermissionStar Wars Suite Main title Princess leia's theme The Cantina Band The Imperial March Yoda's theme The Flag Parade Anakin's theme The adventures of Jar jar Duel of the Fates Across the stars Battle of the HeroesEncores Duel of the Fates Hymn to the FallenListening to Jurassic park live was amazing. It was the williams prefered concert version (fast paced, no choir, island theme and t-rex rescue ending attached.The lost world was the reworked concert version. Very cool and powerful and it was impressive to watch the musicians play one of these strong and fast modern williams pieces.Listening hedwigs theme, harry's wondrous world and across the stars live does make you truly see this pieces as the pure classic williams pieces they are.Many of the performances were very close to the film version sound. great.Hymn of the fallen was a goosebumping piece to finish the concert.I couldnt record anything because i was in the first row, just in front of the 2nd violins. I reccomend being so close to the orchestra at least once in life, you cant see the whole group but the power of the music hits you and you can see things like breaking strings (the ones in the arc not in the instruments) which was curious.

Incanus 5,713 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Looks like a great programme indeed! I would love to hear Jurassic Park live, not to mention the Lost World. And Hymn to the Fallen as an encore must have been so brilliant. I have heard it live and I remember being just in awe of the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scissorhands 16 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 It's the best film music concert I've attended, and with one really striking encore. I don't think I'll see again such a repertoire performed by a choir as good as the Spanish National Choir. My personal highlights were The Lost World and, of course, Hymn to the Fallen.I didn't see Rubén in the concert, but Manuel was there and we even had lunch together.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Nonsense, i recorded a concert in 2001 while sitting right in front of Jerry Goldsmith. I could almost stretch my arm and grab his ponytail....or arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocores 96 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi everyone! After years reading this forum I'm finally joining in.I attended the Madrid Concert as well. It was an incredible performance, in my opinion, even better than the September one by the same orchestra. For me the real highlight was the incredible performance of the violins in Hedwig's theme. I was in second row and could testify what a difficult task was for them to perform that piece.By the way, the concert was broadcasted live by RNE. --Link remove, by the way I did not paste it correctly...

Maglorfin 196 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Wow, an amazing program and I can imagine the concert was just as, if not even more, amazing! What I find fascinating is that George Pehlivanian conducted this concert. He was the principal conductor of Slovenian Philharmonic for 3 or 4 years not long ago (2004-2009 or something like that) and did a lot of great concerts with them, but always strictly classical stuff, he never expressed even the faintest interest in film music. How I wish he'd have done such a concert during his tenure here in Slovenia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 wow ,I heard some of it and it's one kick ass performance of Battle of the HeroesTheme from Lost World also has the cool revised opening/ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocores 96 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was listening to the concert yesterday and to my ambarrassment I realized that in the recording you can clearly hear my three years old son talking during the first bars of Hedwig's theme. He loves the Raiders March and when it was over he went on saying "Oh , it's over". We were in 2nd row and hence near the microphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the "THE PHANTOM MENACE AND OTHER FILM HITS" album. Every re-recording that I know off uses the alternate arrangement which is really only has a few noticable changes in orchestration.-Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocores 96 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I reuse this old thread because I'm looking for this concert. Iknow I pass the link to download it to some of you. For some casual if it's possible that some of you still has the audio file. It was the first concert I attended with my son, then 3 years old, and would like to revisit it. Thanks in advance!
