#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 @Jay, you've been to his concerts more then most. What are the chances of a lot of Williams concert standards showing up. Not Star Wars or most of the big Spielberg stuff of course. But Sabrina, Adventures of Mutt, Neverland Flight. There's bound to be some odd choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,363 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Since he hasn't been to Europe in so long, I expect the program to be full of all his biggest hits, really. I'd be surprised if he conducts anything I haven't heard him conduct before! I hope I'm wrong, and it's instead focused on English scores - those set in England (Jane Eyre, Hook, Harry Potter, War Horse, BFG) or recorded in England (Fiddler on the Roof, Jane Eyre, Star Wars, Superman, The Fury, Dracula, Raiders, Harry Potter). That'd be really neat. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I would love that. Some others wouldn't. It would exclude Jaws, E.T. etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,363 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well, I said "focused on", not "exclusively". But hey, who knows. He can program whatever he wants, really. But I do expect it to be all the big hits - Star Wars March, Imperial March, Superman March, Raiders March, Adventures on Earth, CE3K Suite, Jaws theme, Harry Potter stuff, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothless 963 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I'm so happy to even be able to attend one concert where Williams is conducting, that I truly couldn't care less about the program. That being said, I wish I could be that picky ; it would mean I've had the opportunity to attend several Williams' concerts 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karelm 2,913 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I think since we live in the age of Merica, he should only conduct especially NON European scores…Cowboys, Earthquake, Jaws, 1941, Temple of Doom, Born on the Fourth of July, Lincoln, JFK, Nixon, The Patriot, etc. It would be his subtle way of saying “So long, suckers!” bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 That's always been my take on it. I'm seeing Williams performed. But im not that fussed about the program. There's always good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmarps 217 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I wouldn’t mind hearing Hedwig’s theme live just to hear the LSO tackling those tricky string patterns. Can’t best live orchestral performance. The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hedwig's Theme is a given I'd have thought, and I wouldn't mind it at all. It's just I'm also expecting Harry's Wonderous World (a beloved cue I've never had an affinity for) and whatever else along with it, which would be too much H. Potter for my tastes.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The recent Spielberg/Williams recording has the BFG suite and its lovely.

tmarps 217 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I PRAY that Adventures on Earth is featured - it’s the most marvellous piece and the epitomy of his career I feel.

Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 It's always played too slow... hesitantly, as if the orchestra is frightened of the source material.

SourBork 8 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Quick one, luckily managed to score choir seats. Anyone had an experience sitting here previously? Just wondering if the placement is in any way inferior to that of the front facing seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 There'll be chances for inferior seating all around the arena, same as any other auditorium setting. I'd have thought the choir seating are fairly safe bets though. SourBork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
