If ASM and Williams made a stop in NY—and ASM had to be in Kansas City on the 21st—and ASM's earlier IG post said "we had to rush to the airport after Sunday’s concert"... Does this mean that @wickerman was correct? Was @Jay mistaken? Because it seems based on the info we have that JW did indeed leave Vienna soon after the concert, and traveled with ASM back to the US. Yes, I told you. Their left Vienna for NYC on private jet literally 2 hours after the concert. John went back to the hotel and they loaded bags into cars few minutes later.

Popular Post bigjimwilson 253 Posted January 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2020 I noticed a few times during Sunday's performance that the red light on the camera at the side of the venue only came on from time to time. I'm guessing only specific shots of his were being recorded, and he was being cued in via his headphones. I suppose it means less to edit. I hadn't thought it would be done this way, but it makes sense. (If I'm right.) I'm still utterly on cloud 9 from the weekend. My girlfriend and I were right on the back row at the top for Saturday, and I was fortunate enough to get a seat on the ground floor for Sunday via the waiting list. It was everything I ever dreamed it could be. I'm not sure I'll ever experience a feeling like it again. eitam, Matthias and St0rMl0rD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Romy were lucky enough to experience his 70th birthday concert in Edinburgh (so refreshing, a lot of pieces were interpreted quite differently than the known recordings) - but no small talk or autograph afterwards with our little group of afficionados (yes, it was different back then *sigh*) since he had to rush back to his hotel room to score "The Mummy", which I only found out about later. - What kind of performance are you alluding to? Did you conduct? - How about a birthday meeting on Saturday, February 8 to celebrate the Maestro's birthday and yours belatedly? I could be coaxed into driving up to Vienna again, there's so much I would still like to talk about ... and celebrate. - Some (seemingly) unrelated stuff: You have something to do with animation or games? I did both, our daughter is also interested in both and already drawing animations. (I'm more the cartoon and 3D guy, or (retro) coding/pixeling/composing, when I'm not playing the Theremin (learned the violin though), or listening to film scores or chip music... ) If this is too much (sorry) you may answer via PM, if you like, or we chat about everything in Vienna on February 8!

That's one of the things I hope his biographers will keep in mind while describing this concert, together with the fact that the orchestra was seated American style, and that the structure of the concert followed a Boston pops structure as discussed in the Previn interview in the other thread.
