bollemanneke 3,349 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Right, just listened to a bit of Blu-Ray and I think having JW talking and the people clapping might actually add to the enjoyment and possibly change my opinion a bit. Dare I ask why they couldn't just put all that on 2 or 3 CDs, shall we not go there or will that eventually happen after the cassette and laserdisc edition?

Remco 685 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Tempo choices aside, at least the tempo is stable and the orchestra plays together. Neither is the case in the Vienna performance.

artguy360 1,843 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I'm kind of fascinated by this performance of The Rebellion is Reborn. It seems notably slower than the OST version. The orchestra sounds wonderfully lush but the slower tempo is throwing me off. Edit: yeah despite the great acoustics and the extra oomph of the bass, the slower tempo really takes the bite out of this piece. It just lacks that harsh edge that the OST version has, at least in the Luke in Exile portions and the exciting rush to the finish. This Vienna version is almost lazy by comparison. On the other hand, I'm not sure I've ever heard a more heartfelt concert performance of Like and Leia. The horns and strings are tugging at my heart.

Popular Post Fabulin 3,514 Posted August 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2020 I listened to the Brosse 2018 concert broadcast yesterday, and was quite disappointed, because it was marketed earlier in the thread as a better performance than the Vienna one.The Dudamel album is likewise quite off-putting for me. I nearly regret having aquired it. Flubs and all, the Vienna recordings have something unique to offer compared to most of the original ones, which makes them worthwhile. What the point of yet another "LSO sound" album of the same music is---I don't know. It's nice that we live in a time when there are so many recordings of Williams' music, that we can have fanboy debates about minutia.

Some of these newer scores I love so much more than some of his scores from his peak years. Yep, I listened to some of recent tracks with as much amazement as some of the stuff from the 80's . Rebellion is Reborn, Revised Han Solo and the Princess, Galaxy's Edge Orchestral Suite and The Rise of Skywalker are now among my favorite tracks ever. Indiana Jones 4 is also a lot greater than some people say. Then there's War Horse, Tintin...

His tempo choices, while slower, are exactly what I want: surprising and grand. Even I will admit I am curious about his decision regarding The Shark Cage Fugue but everything else is benefited by some push and pull from him. Not least of which Close Encounters, which hasn't sounded this magnanimous since Gerhardt conducted it as it was a Bruckner movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely meant to be F sharp (i.e. concert B natural, not B flat) for fourth horn in the score (at least, in the manuscript; I haven't seen the published Adventures on Earth Hal Leonard score). So I'm assuming it's just a mistake that wasn't spotted (I think I read somewhere that they only had two rehearsals, which might explain some of the other small ensemble issues here and there given the Vienna Phil's unfamiliarity with this repertoire). Speaking of errors in E.T., I'm pretty sure the timpanist also cocks up by coming in two bars early at 7:37 - it doesn't quite fit what's going on, and then he does it again, correctly, two bars later at 7:42. He also very slightly anticipates the final chord at 9:47. But, I realise I'm being very picky... Tydirium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Marion’s Theme: perfect, but I still don’t understand why we need both this and the Raiders March. Play one of the two or remove Marion’s theme from the march. Or here’s another idea: include all the Mutter tracks on the CD to make it less repetitive. Oh wait, what am I saying? That would be the logical thing to do. Main title from Star Wars: ARGH! HOW DO THE TURMPETS MISS THEIR BEAT AGAIN AT SUCH A CRUCIAL POINT?! What exactly did they record during those pickups? And the rest is just so languid and slow. The LSO absolutely nailed the beginning of the end titles (twice!), but I just don’t hear it here. No joy, no energy. Leia’s theme is good. More shrill horns. More woodwinds mistakes too. The Rebellion is Reborn: What’s that weird sound right before the horns begin? But overall, everyone is doing great here. I don’t understand why the quality of these tracks is so varying. This is a truly lovely performance. One could wonder why they didn’t do Rise of Skywalker too. This orchestra seems to flourish much more in those kind of pieces. Oops, brass come in too late again, but the trumpets are amazing. Luke and Leia: So this is the shortened version? Very nice. Not sure which one I prefer. Imperial March: I really like the flutes here, but again, where is the urgency? Horns and strings not perfect, but trying very hard. Raider’s March: Why can’t Mutter play in all the tracks? I love the emphasis on that one violin in Marion’s theme. Timpani a bit too loud in the beginning. Mostly good, but… is this a march or a nice walk? In conclusion: I want a release of that 2018 LSO concert. I want more LSO re-recordings, with or without Mutter. I realise that this is a historically important performance, but the LSO is just better. The Boston Pops too, for that matter. I am missing so much speed and energy in most of the tracks. I don’t feel the satisfaction I felt in 2018. Questionable though the radio quality of that concert was, at least those performances were all nearly flawless and overflowing with joy and magic.

Perhaps that's why the deluxe edition is delayed until October. Sorry to disappoint but the CD in the deluxe edition is the same as the stand-alone CD, i.e. only 13 tracks (I know because I have a copy!). I agree it is ambiguously worded, though. The blu-ray has six extra tracks but only as part of the live concert video (it also has the 13 tracks from the CD in blu-ray audio format). The six extra tracks are all with A-SM and are all present on her Across the Stars disc, which I presume is why DG didn't include them on the CD (I realise they are different performances, but I guess they didn't feel the need to double up on the repertoire). The six are Hedwig's Theme, Sabrina, Donnybrook Fair, Cinderella Liberty, Duel from Tintin, and Remembrances. Anything referring to a "2-disc" release simply means one CD plus one blu-ray. The tracklist you've given is the running order for the blu-ray (including the video conversation between A-SM and JW). It looks like Universal have run out of the deluxe edition (UK Amazon is saying despatched within 1-2 months, which would sort of tally with US Amazon saying it's not out until October). There also seems to be a further product coming in December with catalogue number 4839156, which as far as I can tell is just a jewel-case version of the current digipak single CD release.

However, I'd like to note that at least the City of Prague Philharmonic recording features a B-flat too, just like this Vienna version. Of course CPO isn't the best orchestra in the world, but I'm thinking there might a published version out there that has a B-natural for whatever reason. Possibly a misprint, but still. EDIT: Funny enough, just found some guy's MIDI realization of the piece (as in, he sat down and put in all the notes), which also features a B-flat. Must be a couple versions out in the wild(?).
