Popular Post Tom 5,025 Posted November 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2017 As we impatiently await the two new scores, it is a week to be thankful for what we have. Today, listen to Tributes. What a mature, profound, yet fun composition. The strings at times recall the Essay written 30 years prior, but with a greater liveliness. Also, this is a piece where Williams absolute command of all the sections of the orchestra working together. Why on earth does this not have a commercial release?

Thor 8,200 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I think he's referring to the Tokyo thingie, that apparently has "For Sejii!" as a bonus track. I have a couple of great-sounding concert recordings of this already, but they're not official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 5,025 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Yes, I am referring to the upcoming DG release. Relistening to the piece, it does play like a mini concerto for orchestra. Back in the day, it was reported that Williams was working on such a concerto, which then became Tributes/for seiji. I wonder if his work on The Phantom Menace took a bit more time than anticipated, which led to a smaller scale version of his original plans. Either way, it is a great little piece--all the stylings of Williams's concertos, with highlights for flute, clarinet, horn, distilled into one movement.

Tom 5,025 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Bumping the thread to showcase the new recording. I find the two performances comparable, but the recording quality of this one is obviously much higher. Gurkensalat and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
