bollemanneke 3,350 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Just finished CD1 of that Japan Philarmonic album. After the JFK track, everything is mostly great.

igger6 894 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Anybody hear of this? Apparently the unpronounceable virtuoso who released Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Harry Potter 1-3 for two pianos in the last few years has an album doing the same with Close Encounters, E.T., Stargate, and Independence Day?! Is this only available overseas?

Jurassic Shark 12,086 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 [Drumroll] In November, probably to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, there will be three CD-album releases from Walt Disney Records of what seems to be the original soundtrack releases of the original trilogy. All three will probably be single disc releases, as each of the original CDs and LPs had a running time of less than 80 minutes. Hopefully the Empire CD will include the missing LP tracks. Also in November, there's two different LP releases of A New Hope: A 3 LP version titled Star Wars: A New Hope and a single LP version titled Star Wars: A New Hope (40th Anniversary) (Rsd). I can't see there's any new LP releases of Empire or Jedi. In January, Sony Classical will release a 20 CD box named John Williams Conductor (with emphasis on conductor to distinguish him from John Williams the guitarist). This will most likely include both JW soundtracks, concert works, and music by other composers.

Jurassic Shark 12,086 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The love theme from Superman is included on the Star Wars Saga compilation album (identical to the compilation Star Wars - The Best of Space Music). A great bonus track for the hypothetical JW/BPO/Philips compilation would be Gil Shaham's recording of The Devil's Dance, arranged by JW himself for violin and piano (on the album Devil's Dance on DG). In my opinion, this is even better than the orchestra arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
