Paul 0 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 I came across this news item over a year ago on the Music from the Movies website..."John Williams has recorded a concert suite featuringmusic from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In a recent interview with UK:s Classic FM radio station, John Williams said that the seven themes in the score has been turned into a seven movement concert piece which has been. Each movement highlights a section of the orchestra, so the recording is a little like "Peter and the Wolf" with a short and humorous naration before each section. The composer said that said that the recording wasn't intended to "cash in" on the Harry Potter phenomenon, but as a "serious attempt to introduce children to the orchestra"."Was this for real? It doesn't sound as tho he means the "concert" arrangements heard on the soundtrack CD. So, where is this recording?Anyone know? :?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
