1977 1,743 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is this? Raw, unedited sessions? Alternate take? Do I need to get this if I have the Williams / Yo-Yo Ma album? Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 @JTWfan77 We are talking about new recordings that have been released in 2006, Yo-Yo Ma on the cello, John Williams on the piano. Yet, only released digitally by iTunes. Sayuri's Theme A Dream Discarded Going to School Interview with John Williams & Yo-Yo Ma. Do you have to get this? Absolutely! 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,051 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 You should start a petition! Anyway, it will probably be included on the expanded 15th anniversary edition in 2020... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,345 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's just a Piano "reduction" of music from the suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's an iTunes exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 iTunes is a fucking disgrace! Wouldn't this recording be such a perfect inclusion on a collection of Williams' work? I had to buy the sessions from iTunes and then convert them to a format that would work on my non-apple products. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Going to school was released on a Ma compilation shortly after the digital release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will start by asking them if they plan to reissue the Philips "conductor's" albums of John Williams in a boxset, like Sony just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,998 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Let's hope the forthcoming (ha!) release features the complete score, the suite, and this. Karol Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A guess, don’t hold your breath for this one. Since it’s an iTunes exclusive, it’ll probably be a long time until it sees a release on another platform/format, physical or not. For a while it seemed as if Apple would offer downloads in lossless, which would (essentially) render a CD release unnecessary, but those rumbles died out a couple of years ago. I’d wager we’re stuck with the lossy version for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,051 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Although it's an iTunes exclusive, it's Sony who owns the recording, right? Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yeah, but - branding. There’s probably a strict terms of use which renders the recording exclusive to iTunes. But who knows. Stranger things have happened. But my guess would be not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,051 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The recording is now so old I guess it's not long before the deal with Apple expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Like Miguel pointed out, "Going to school" from this session have already being released on a Yo-Yo Ma Sony compilation in 2007. 1 song out of 3, Sony, you can do better! Appassionato (2007, Sony Classical, 702668, Compilation) Music composed by John Williams/Featuring John Williams (p): Going to School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the piano/cello sessions the complete score would be much better, don't you agree? I was listening to some extracts again these days, and it's indeed a masterpiece!
