Thor 7,504 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm fairly certain we talked about this last year or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have no memory of there being discussion on this. Cool beans anyway! Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,482 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm fairly certain we talked about this last year or so?I didn't find anything with the Search Engine of this site.If you were already aware of this release, that's great for you, but it's actually not on the main page... and it wasn't in my Wiki disco too.So I assumed that a few people missed that release...

Jay 37,364 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I also cannot find anything about the 2013 release on this forum, other than Thor previously mentioning it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I also cannot find anything about the 2013 release on this forum, other than Thor previously mentioning it here.That was actually a reference to this recording from 2002 -- the first official recording of the piece (not counting a previous bootleg recording). But I also seem to remember us discussing this new recording that Bespin refers to, but my memory may be playing tricks on me. I'm getting old.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I've had this since it's release, and I believe Brossé has conducted the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia in some more Williams ("Prayer for Peace" was surely performed by them), which will hopefully get a digital release sometime.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is this a worthy piece of music? What I'm asking is is it excellent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is this a worthy piece of music? What I'm asking is is it excellent?It is. It's up there among my favourite Williams concert works. Some absolutely spellbinding harmonic exploration for strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hmm, got to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just don't go in expecting something akin to his film works, not at least from the most hummable end of the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
