As opposed to Williams conducting and rehearsing it this way with these players? Don't you think if he felt it was wrong, he would've changed something?

tmarps 217 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 John Williams isn’t slowing down the tempo for his health.. he still conducts fast tempi on OSTs etc. Just my thoughts are that the Vienna Philharmonic are so unfamiliar with the pieces that slow and together (yes, together) was a better option than fast and the pieces completely fall apart and then with no way to get the orchestra back together. The Vienna Philharmonic’s lack of familiarity with the pieces was the main factor that constituted to the slower tempo choices, not Williams being “old”. In my opinion. Fire away all those miserable enough to be disappointed with this once in a lifetime event Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,080 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Dont know if the the Blu ray Audio* only option is in stereo or 5.1 but I would welcome an SACD Multi-Channel presentation of this recording. if they did MQA version of it I see no reason why they shouldnt do this one too since SACD format has more fans in Europe than in USA.

And... that flub/sync error is pretty nasty, otherwise it's fine.
