karelm 2,913 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Classical FM just said you can hear the broadcast anytime for the next 7 days from their website but I must have heard the link wrong. They said classicalfm.com but it isn't there, does anyone have the correct link? Also can someone who attended take a picture of the orchestra roster please? Thanks. EDIT: Ahh, wrong address.

lostinspace 8 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 great concert, having heard a bunch of other orchestras play the LSO are a cut above they don't seem to do many film music concerts so I guess this was a one off. Fawkes the Phoneix was a nice inclusion as was Dracula theme and Han Solo & the princess. The rest pretty standard. Close Encounters is always a highlight , BFG was amazing.. they didnt play Home alone but this had lots of weird sort of percussion effects and muted brass in it.. didn't disappoint! Only complaint some of the tempo changes were a bit too fast or slow but overall didn't disappoint and I did pay 500 quid for the ticket Hope JW gets well soon! Apparently he arrived in London on Monday but was listening in to which the audience applause went nuts!! All I can say is the LSO have a way of interpreting his music that makes it art.. they don't just play the notes they embody the spirit.. hope it makes sense.

Popular Post crocodile 8,012 Posted October 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2018 It's interesting how the old version was perfect for their blossoming youthful relationship in the original trilogy whereas this one seems to depict them at much older age. It's more bittersweet and doesn't flourish quite in the same way. But there is still love in there. Filled with disappointing and heartbreaks...but still.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'm still convinced Williams wasn't happy with the old version. As far as I know he's never conducted it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JWMike 117 Posted October 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well, I think that was something special. The LSO playing John Williams with such skill and passion. And the maestro listening along to the performance through the radio from his hospital bed... I may never get to see Mr. Williams in person himself, but if I don't this was still some night to be a witness to.

Agree it was still almost all sold out, I imagine a lot of Londoners picked up some last minute tickets.

Along with Jurassic Park. Wondrous. I was blown away by almost everything, save Superman. For some reason that theme has lost a lot of its power for me...and this performance sounded a little flat.
