Bilbo 3,967 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The habits of modern dumb movie goers aside... it was great! We’re lucky in Ireland to have two fantastic orchestras (paid for through our TV license). I hope the proposed cuts don’t come to fruition. They’re the only good thing associated with RTÉ. It’s one of Johnny’s best scores though. Beautiful and emotional. Bespin Copilot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol Yeah, that was the RTÉ Concert Orchestra who normally handle all the film music side of things but both concerts this week were the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra who normally look after the more high brow affairs. A nice experience but I think I prefer the CO there seems to be more “life” in their playing. As if they’re enjoying it more. Not that the NSO were bad players or anything!

crocodile 8,996 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Loved it! This is a score that is just perfect for this kind of a performance. In fact it might the single most fitting film ever created for such an occasion. And it is also fitting that it was the one to kick off the modern trend of those live to projection concerts. My only complaint is that I didn't get to hear the film version of end credits. And that audience knows nothing about showing respect to musicians. But then, they clearly loved the film so the score did its job. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,805 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Unfortunately the dialogue and sound effects seemed even louder than it normally was in the movie, and in some scenes where Elliot was talking/screaming you couldn't hear the music much. Or during the cue Losing E.T. with all the medics talking. The orchestra was playing loud too, so it felt like a duel between the 2. That was my disappointment about the concert , But the score performance was excellent and did shine in the key moments like E.T.'s Halloween and Adventures on Earth which was spectacular They used THe Flying Theme concert version for the credits instead of the real End Credits music I'm comparing to how low the dialogue and sound effects were in Harry Potter in Concerts , where they really let the music take first place Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was much more like going to the cinema with a real orchestra versus the HP in Concerts. I still wish someday to have no dialogue or FX during those live movies, with subtitles only.

King Mark 3,805 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I don't agree. I think the guy mixing this thing didn't get the core concept of showing off the music score and just cranked up the volume of the dialogue until he could hear it over the orchestra loudly. Elliot's screeching voice was incredibly irritating at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWMike 117 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Seen this earlier at the Royal Albert Hall. Wow. Following that, both film and score have grown in my estimation. It could be the best John Williams film score. So important to the movie and so heartfelt. A great experience. The only one of these live to projection concerts I've seen that truly rivals the feels I got from watching this was the finale in Close Encounters. Truly brilliant, not to be missed if you get the chance. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMaestraX 106 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 'I'll Be Right Here!' I never get tired on seeing this marvellous film, and last nights film concert performance of E.T - the Extra Terrestrial at the Royal Albert Hall surpassed my expectations. The setting, the 1982 original release looked fresher than ever before from where I was seated front row. The orchestra (BBC Concert) were on top form and certainly played beautifully even arousing your emotions with those delicate pieces (my female friend couldn't hold back the tears, as was another behind me) but I didn't want the film to break momentum with that interval but alas it felt like a starvation, only wanting more! Certainly a soundtrack favourite of mine and a successful movie/concert-going experience that brought back after thoughts of so many memories!

crocodile 8,996 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I also attended the (afternoon) performance yesterday. This was my second time after the Southbank performance last year. It was excellent. Because the score is extremely well used in the film and sound effects never get in the way it makes the most perfect candidate for this kind of performance. One thing I don't like as much is that we don't get to hear the film version of end credits. The Flying piece would have been a great overture instead. But hey, it's a tiny gripe.
