Popular Post Ludwig 1,120 Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2022 Went to see this today at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra played so well throughout, it was a pure delight. It was great to hear different details come through the score than what I've heard on the OST or in the film recording. This was especially the case in the quieter moments, when I could hear, for example, the piano when BB-8 runs away from the battle at the start of the film, or the oboe solo when Maz tells Rey the people she's waiting for aren't coming back. Things like that really added more humanity to these scenes. Act One ended with the big statement of the First Order theme they use near the start of the film when we cut back to the First Order ships, and Act Two began with a very abbreviated form of the concert version of Rey's Theme. I think the best thing about this performance was that I got to hear the score louder than I've ever heard with the film before, as though with a better mix in a recorded film. And the live element, as I say, just gave it more humanity and warmth. Top notch performance. If you get the chance to go, it's really worth it! enderdrag64, Tom Guernsey, BrotherSound and 9 others 9 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crumbs 14,301 Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2022 So interesting you had the same experience hearing TFA live as I did, @Ludwig. It was completely revelatory to my ears, like hearing an entirely different score in some cues. All the classic Star Wars-ian accents and flourishes you'd be forgiven for thinking were missing from the score, were abound in the live performance. That abrasively dry film recording did such a disservice to JW's score, which is rich with orchestral details that were buried, or lost entirely, in the mix. crocodile, MikeH, enderdrag64 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra in the USA is re-doing the LTP concerts of the 1st three Star Wars--they did ANH this past May, they’ll be doing ESB this coming May, and it’s a good bet that they’ll do ROTJ in May, 2024--and that is in lieu of rescheduling TFA and TLJ which were originally scheduled for 2021, but neither one of them took place. POSTPONED Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert | New Jersey Symphony (njsymphony.org) POSTPONED Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Concert | New Jersey Symphony (njsymphony.org) Also, this past September, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra redone ANH after first doing it back in July of 2018. And that orchestra has never done TFA nor TLJ. I guess these orchestras are getting cold-feet on doing concerts from an unpopular 3rd trilogy. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLJ would be a fantastic score live (especially the big action set pieces), but I can only assume orchestras are a little anxious about scheduling those films given the sour taste TROS left in everyone's mouth. The OT is a much safer bet. I'm not sure I'd even want to see a TROS LTP, all things considered. I'd love to know what percentage of that film even uses Williams' intended music.

Quppa 117 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Yes, I'm worried the moment has passed for Sequel Trilogy LTP concerts, unless Taika Waititi's movie and/or Rian Johnson's trilogy (a) actually happen and (b) are tied in to the ST, neither of which seem likely (which is fine by me, though a Waititi/Giacchino collaboration with a longer run up would be a good chance for the latter to atone for the understandably undercooked Rogue One).

I'm not familiar with the intricate details of the minute differences between all the various versions of Star Wars that have existed post-1997 SE, so to me this seemed like the Blu Ray cut - it featured the full 20th Century Fox logo in the beginning (which the orchestra played, which was great), and the better CGI Jabba as opposed to the first CGI Jabba from '97. The intermission was oddly placed, I thought. It was in the middle of The Death Star cue, as the Millennium Falcon is being pulled into The Death Star. Basically on the wide shot of the Falcon approaching the screen, it just faded out, and the music kind of faded away (I can't recall exactly how they handled it). Upon returning from intermission, they replayed the loud glorious Rebel Fanfare from the cue to a black screen, as the same shot we had already seen of the Falcon being pulled faded in during the music, and the film and cue continued from there. As far as I could tell, everything they played matched the final cut of the film exactly. This means Dianoga ("The Water Snake" ) and the music dialed out of The Walls Converge was not restored, and of course the sections trimmed from The Dune Sea Of Tatooine ("Desert Song") and Chasm Crossfire ("The Swashbucklers") are still gone. This also means the 1997 SE alterations had to be recreated, ie the extended "Look Sir, Droids!" scene, and the extended arrival at Mos Eisley. Honestly, though, when performed live both sections sounded COMPLETELY fine, nothing un-musical about them at all -- and hey, we get to hear most of Dianoga this way! More annoying was the Jabba The Hutt scene, since it was all ROTJ music, and always seems out of place (they did play it perfectly fine, though!) The orchestra played tremendously, and flawlessly from what I could tell! The strings and brass especially nailed everything throughout the evening, really only the percussion sounded different from the original recordings - and it wasn't BAD, just DIFFERENT. Whoever was in control of the cymbals was particularly aggressive, making some really loud crashes happen at times, which was kind of funny! David Newman didn't say a word before or after the performance which I thought was a bit odd, though he did return to the stage TWICE after departing after the end credits. I thought he was going to do an encore of Princess Leia's Theme or something when he came out a second time! I've seen this film countless times, so everytime the orchestra was playing I found myself watching them exclusively, and only really watched the film in between orchestral cues. Both Cantina Band cues came from the speakers, they were not performed live, which I wasn't expecting them to be (it would be kinda weird if they did; I noticed this time while watching the film that the second Cantina Band cue actually loops for a long while due to the Greedo scene!) The audio mix for the evening was perfect, IMO. Every time the orchestra was playing, it was the loudest part of the mix, which is perfect - it's why you're there! This occasionally meant some dialogue got drowned up completely, which is fine by me! (others might take issue with it). I did notice after it was pointed out to me that the left and right channels seemed to mostly be not playing - since most of the dialogue and sound effects come from the center channel this was't a big issue, and I did notice the surround channels were working at some points, there was other points when it was obvious the other channels weren't doing much. Again this wasn't an issue for me, since I've seen the film countless times and I'm there for the music - and the music was always mixed PERFECTLY. Overall a very successful evening, because the score is THAT good; one of my favorites of all time, and a pure pleasure to hear live. This had to have been the first time the Force Theme has been played for a live audience this many times... forever! There are too many musical highlights to mention, but really the entire concert is a treat. Yes, it is indeed a bummer that it's the SE cut of the film and not the original, but that is truly about the only negative thing I can say about the whole experience. The music still shines, and even the SE-altered music isn't an abomination to the experience. I hope I get the chance to see TESB, ROTJ, and TFA in this setting as well!

The best mix was when I saw A New Hope by the LSO in 2018 (Royal Albert Hall) [Saturday Evening showing], however it was still too loud for my liking. The worst one was Empire Strikes Back in the Albert Hall (Dirk Brossè and London Philharmonia). I was sat in the stalls right behind the engineers/producers and someone went down and collared one of them, essentially asking them to turn the sound and dialogue down as the music in places was barely audible.

The London Philharmonia are obviously a great orchestra, but they don't have the same 'clout' as the London Symphony Orchestra, so the Empire concert was easily the weakest of the original trilogy presentations there at The Royal Albert Hall.

I can't recall exactly what days I went, but think we went to Star Wars and Empire the same weekends! I have to admit that I don't recall exactly what I thought of the sound mixes other than at various points I wasn't entirely sure if the orchestra weren't just miming since it all goes through the speakers and once it's mixed together the "liveness" of the orchestra isn't especially noticeable. I did notice enough differences to satisfy myself that they weren't miming but the fact that it crossed my mind did rather suggest that the sound isn't ideally mixed. My enthusiasm for LTP screenings has certainly waned quite a bit as I end up watching it like a regular movie when I actually want to concentrate on the score, but then can't really hear it quite well enough to enjoy it on its own. I imagine the engineers at those events don't have much latitude, indeed I wouldn't be surprised if their job is to keep it standardised rather than what is actually the best for the venue. It's not that I think Disney hate all of their IP, but I can imagine them being the kind of company that dictates stuff without really thinking as to whether it works or not. I might have to look out for LTP events in Manchester. The Royal Albert Hall isn't really an especially great venue (aside from its wow factor) for lots of events. I mean, for Cirque du Soleil it's terrific but for orchestral concerts, less so and don't get me started on the toilets*. Funnily enough, my memory is so shonky that I can't recall if I've seen ET LTP. My other half swears blind that we haven't and I think he's probably right, but in my head I can't believe I haven't so my brain tries to convince me that we must have done. Either way, I need to see it (again or for the first time as an LTP!). *Too late. JWFan hint: if you need the toilet at the Royal Albert Hall, go to the very top floor, they are almost always empty. My only caveat is that you sometimes get shooed away by unnecessarily officious security people - "you can't sit up here mate" - "I'm not, I'm sitting downstairs, but I want to wee without being in a queue with 374,520 other people". I have complained about this aggressive approach in feedback surveys and suggest anyone who is shooed away also complains, security people like that can fuck right off. Totally unnecessary.
