Popular Post Jay 38,660 Posted June 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2017 First half of the concert, conducted by Keith Lockhart, was great! Good selections (a lot of what was on the recent CD) and good performances. I haven't looked ahead to know what John is playing for his half of the concert, but I can't wait! pete, Ricard, Spleener and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 38,660 Posted June 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hmmm, well, JW told all the same stories as he told last year only not as well this time, and about half the selections were the same exact pieces he played last year too. Certainly great for anyone not at last year's show, but a bit disappointing for me tbh.....aw who am I kidding, it's always great to see the maestro at work! When he told the story again about telling Kathleen Kennedy he didn't want anyone else writing music for Daisy, I thought he was going to announce he secretly scored Murder on the Orient Express!

But something that is available now is this: http://www.wgbh.org/programs/The-Boston-Symphony-Orchestra-in-Concert-1641?episode=70871&_ga=2.133513549.2124218784.1496449260-1397133340.1496449260 Quote Lights! Camera! Music! The Magic of John Williams! Keith Lockhart leads the Boston Pops in a tribute to legendary film composer and Pops Laureate Conductor John Williams, including iconic scores like Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T. as well as rarely heard gems like Heidi and The Towering Inferno. This seems to be the complete birthday concert, only part of which can be heard on the new CD. EDIT: I'm just skimming through because I don't feel like listening to the whole thing, but apparently they played the 3rd movement of the tuba concerto (which I've never heard before). Wasn't on the program: Spoiler EDIT #2: I no longer believe this is the birthday concert, although it shares some selections -- rather, it is from May 24: https://www.bso.org/Performance/Detail/86093 So I think we're looking here at different performances of "Heidi," "Towering Inferno," "Stargazers," etc. than the CD!
