Popular Post Fabulin 3,513 Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 Before the concert I told ca. 10 people around me about the standing welcome, so when only Williams entered, there was a nice chunk of the front right floor up within 2 seconds. I was very happy that everyone around thought it was a great idea and we were quite synchronized. After Star Wars main title standing up and clapping was joined by some (positive) whistles. After first encores with Mutter, there were whistles and also some yelling. When Williams started the Raiders encore, Musikverein turned into Tanglewood, and people cheered and clapped for a good 3 measures. After Raiders, standing up and clapping and whistling and yelling were joined by mass thumping, and Williams seemed to have been really surprised. Part of it comes from the fact that over time the orchestra generally played better: Hook = good CE3K = magnificent Sabrina = ok Witches = very good Donnybrook = ok E.T = mixed / ok JP = mixed => the brass became ballsy and louder and louder and more precise, so later very good War Horse = magnificent Shark cage = very good Rebellion is Reborn = very good Luke and Leia = good SW main title = imho one of the best EVER Tintin = very good Remembrances = good Raiders = magnificent Imperial March = maybe the best ever "The brass awakens" motion was incredible. The trumpets and horns roared, and did so with precision. Some people, myself included were shocked how great and powerful some moments were Strings were very good to great, particularily impressive in CE3K, and later in the concert, during string tutttis I had a place right in the crossfire of the concertmaster and the first double bass. The first double bass was just madly good. Loud, broad, with tons of reverb, nearly dancing with his instrument, and with a deadly serious face. I made sure to make an eye contact with him during one of the ovations and send him my regards. There were some great woodwind solos as well. Some musicians were smiling broadly, one violist was supposedly crying from joy, and it seems that they really enjoyed this unique evening. It was a historical concert. After that a dozen of us met for some 3 hours of celebration in a restaurant, and it was very nice. Unforgettable P.S. I only feel a bit sorry for the concertmaster, who was totally stressed, stayed whole intermission to rehearse, curled up when Mutter wanted to "play" with him during the tintin duel, and had only a very brief/forced smile when Williams smiled at him. I think he did great! MikeH, crumbs, aj_vader and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Amvanquish 39 Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 I travelled from London to come to this concert. Thankfully I managed to get tickets for both days. Todays concert was not disappointing with different arrangements and suites for his more established music.It was certainly nice to hear Cinderella Liberty performed as an arrangement for Ms Mutter. Yes there were some sequences where the sync was slightly out but us die hard JW fans would not have been disappointed with what was a terrific show performed by the Vienna Philharmonic. I wonder what it may have been like had JW had not been incapacitated in Oct 2018 and given his direction to the LSO at the Royal Albert Hall . What was amazing was whilst standing around with the queues in and outside, was that die hard fans had come from Australia, Japan,another from South Africa. Poland , and Russia. Also many like me from the Uk, Paris and Berlin. There were a group of 4 who had flown in from LA, such is the appeal of this wonderful film composer. My only regret was that the repertoire did not include the last 10 minute closing credits of Rise of Skywalker, I only hope that the members of the Bafta and Oscars academies see fit to reward him with those two trophies for ROS to bookend his original 1977 Star Wars A New Hope Oscar and Bafta.

Thanks for sharing! He was bursting with glee when during the first part of the concert. Not quite so much in the end, but I think he was just tired by then. No surprise after a massive concert with 5 encores. 3 hours ago, Remco said: The concert was absolutely amazing, but yes, aside from the ‘Remembrances’ encore, I felt there wasn’t really much to the Mutter arrangements, aside from providing her a chance to be a diva. I thought the arrangements worked wonderfully and were some of the highlights of the concert. But a diva? Mutter was perfectly humble and absolutely refused Williams's continuous prompts for her to step forward to claim her applause, to the point where I think he even got slightly annoyed with her. But she absolutely made a point of never stepping closer to the audience than Williams was so the applause would be his. 3 hours ago, lemoncurd said: more like early and late entrances. Brass was magnificent. I only noticed one cracked note in the opening Horn solo of JP. And bear in mind that they're playing Vienna Horns. They're much harder to play, and one or two flubs in prominent horn parts are quite normal. The small JP flub wasn't a big issue. And their sound! The brass chorale in War Horse was one of the concert's highlights for me. Made me wish he'd play something from Lincoln. Stupid automatic mode on my DSLR mostly focused on the heads right in front of me. I don't usually use it, and now I know why...

Less than 2 hours now People underestimate how prevalent these sorts of mistakes or missed notes are, as well as just how much editing goes into producing a "perfect" take on an album. Many times these days, even flawless "live" performances which have been issued for commercial release, actually involve editing together multiple nights of material to end up with the best overall product. Let's take a symphony recording for example: The first movement from one night will be used for the album, but for the second movement a completely different night's recording may be used. Same goes for every movement. You could very well wind up with a CD of a four-movement symphony where each movement was performed on a different day of the week. And in addiction to that, individual sections of the movements from different takes, may be cut and spliced seamlessly to create the final version. But the recording will still be labeled as "live", just because the performances that went into creating this Frankenstein monster, were all live. If that's how much editing goes into a "live" performance recording, can you imagine how much goes into studio recordings such as soundtracks? What you wind up with is a hodgepodge of takes sewn together into a "perfect" one. It's a sad truth, that seeing something live will always have one or two (or maybe more!) missed notes than your favorite note-perfect recording of the same thing—the worthwhile difference of course being the addicting excitement that live music can offer, which more often than not overcompensates for any minor mistakes that may occur. EDIT: In fact, come to think of it you could actually see recording mics present in the rehearsal photos. My guess is they've been recording every note the orchestra has played with him, not only in case JW wanted to listen back and make adjustments in subsequent rehearsal hours, but also so they would have this additional material to work with in case they should need it for editing a CD/Blu-Ray release, in the event of any devastating concert mishaps. eitam, crumbs, Remco and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jar Jar 28 Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Regarding the sound, it was really marvelous ! Hook ans Star Wars were perfectly balanced d the sound crystal clear. as I have read before, the bassi were enjoying their part dancing with their instruments. the concertmaster was quite stressed but managed. i cried on raiders ! regarding the mistakes, Williams made a sign he was not happy to the 1rst violins during CE3K, but corrected instantly. during HP, Anne Sophie was late in time when playing the pizzicati chords but Williams and her smiled at each other (« ok i have been spotted »). It was not at all a big issue. I didn’t spot the ET mess-up but wasn’t carried by the climax so maybe that’s the reason. but the concert was so magical, so full of joy from the crowd and the musicians. It was perfect. Even Anne Sophie, she stayed to play the Raider encore. Usually Soloists don’t accept to play Violin1 parts, because there is a lot of ego and they are above the other players. she took the V1 music sheet and played with humility with the 1rst violins. It shows how the concert was quite a moment for everybody. SteveMc, Tydirium, Will and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm naive or down to earth, but this is totally what I expected a soloist at such mixed concert to do. But yes, ASM was great in conduct in every way. She played great, and when a bowstring broke, she corrected the bow between notes and played flawlessly till the end of the piece despite the dangling bowstring. She also clapped for Williams (so did at least one more musician as well) and even did a little "woo" at one point. Can't wait for some description in what ways will the concert today (it started 10 minutes ago) differ, whether in playing or audience reception. P.S. The one thing I still cannot wrap my head around is that Williams conducted for over 2,5 hours yesterday, all standing. At the age of 88! And he did it with so much energy as if he was middle-aged again. The fact that it started snowing beautifully right before the concert reminds me of the story of a thunderstorm when Beethoven died.
