blondheim 1,157 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This performance of Flight to Neverland is beyond what I expected. Everything I have heard from this album is. I can't tell you how many times I have listened to the Jurassic Park track. Imo it's the best performed version of that piece. I love the Spielberg/Williams compilation albums, but this is clearly going to be the best compilation of his yet. I knew it was going to be special, the Weiner almost always is, but they really turned it out for him. Those flute shrieks, the dirty brass, it's all coming together.

He could write and record a score first, and then have Spielberg make a movie to it. How about that? Otherwise I see no way the VPO does a film score. The last time they did was in 1944(?), when they were under the Nazi boot. Now, if Williams were to offer such a proposal to the Berliner Phil, who had long tried to get him to conduct them, it could possibly work out...

The main attraction these performances have is a phenomenal sound, but it’s again a bit painful to hear how Williams can’t seem to keep the tempo stable at the end of ‘Neverland’.

blondheim 1,157 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The transition to the End Credits segment has never totally congealed for me. I think it is one of his more awkward concert suites. This performance of it is interesting. I can't wait for the CD. I think we are overestimating how much this orchestra needs their guest conductor. The Weiner Philharmoniker is top-class, they could perform without one, I am certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ur going from listening on Spotify to watching a live performance and expecting “perfection” in that way, you’re not at all understanding symphonic music No one said it had to be mathematically perfect but when the brass is playing the main melody to Star Wars a few notes behind everyone else it's noticeable and distracting. They are professional orchestra and to some considered one of the best in the world therefore the standards are high. Unfortunately, this sort of performance is below their standards. That a fair assessment and criticism. Yes, Williams can do whatever he wants with the tempo and my criticism wasn't with Williams' tempo... this time. My criticism is with the the orchestra being somewhat unfamiliar with Williams style of conducting, which is something that could have thrown off the orchestra. The Star Wars performance isn't the only performance with certain instruments coming in early, late, dragging, speeding up. -Erik- PS - Heres hoping that we can all be adults around here by refraining from childish insults just because you don't agree with someone else's opinion. Seriously, brow up! BTW, this wasn't aimed at you, Jackson. JacksonElmore, Mattris and Holko 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
