Funny how it's that concert, more than anything else, that repeatedly later turns out to be an instance of me being in the same room with people I'd only know years later. 15 minutes ago, hornist said: It looks quite small, narrow hall but I think there are about 1700 seats and maybe few hundred standing places. Best hall I ever performed and it looks awesome. Too bad I'll lose again in the fight for the tickets... "1744 seats and c. 300 standing", according to Wikipedia. This is what it looks like from a rehearsal perspective. Maglorfin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke ? i know that sandra komet (producer of the vienna film festival) did this as a pure business move to have Zimmer in her pocket, to have more recording contract with remote control and for other reasons too as she's producing as well the european zimmer tour, but it's a kind of a shame. in my opinion... the zimmer "party" will be broadasted on 35th Tv network, and what about ... Williams ? and come on, Max Steiner award to... there is still not an official williams concert conducted by him which has been filmed and released !

Just look at the number of post i wrote, and i'm there since or close to date of the creation of jwfan... and not someone who wrote 19235 posts... i'm not one of these "bashing zimmer / one of those holdovers of JWFan blablabla ". I didn't listened to any music since 10 years ! so i have other stuff to do or think than that ! (Can't beleive i'm trying to justify myself again...). A small search in my signature will show that i recorded several tunes of Mr Zimmer, and they are all available publically... I was just telling the irony about who was giving this award to and the name of the award ! Bashing (???) people who tell something about zimmer, and thinking immediatly that he's a crazy williams fan completly blind (in my case, it's "deaf", not "blind") who... whatever. sorry guys, but i'm not this kind of person. And it will be very hard to find a post from me on this planet telling something bad about Michael Giacchino too as someone told it as i didn't listened to any music he did since 2009, but not only him, John williams music too, and in fact, anybody else as well !

Thor 8,505 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Wow, this is pretty amazing news. After Zimmer was announced for Hollywood in Vienna, the thought didn't even occur to me that he would or could do something separately with the Philharmoniker. There's no way I can afford, or have time to do both London and Vienna. October is insane enough as it is, and that's after skipping World Soundtrack Awards. Within two weeks, I have Williams/London, the Riga film festival, the Camille Award in Pula/Croatia, possbibly Zimmer/Vienna and a couple of Norwegian film festivals. I haven't even bought plane and accomodation tickets for any of these yet. But for Vienna residents like Marian, this must be the treat of a lifetime! It does seem like Williams is doing his final European tour, like Cleese (jokingly) does with his current standup tour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 9,151 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Heads up re ticketing technology in Austria: The Hollywood in Vienna/Zimmer ticket presale completely overloaded the Konzerthaus website today. I spent two hours refreshing and reloading and clicking and never actually managed to get tickets into the basket and to checkout. A friend tried the same simultaneously AND on the phone as well, and after two hours finally managed to get through on the phone, where he was able to buy a rather expensive ticket for himself for the gala concert on Friday and two cheaper ones for me for Thursday (Friday was nearly sold out at that point, except for the top categories). Or in other words, for those who complained about the RAH presale: That concert sold out, in a *mostly* fair and orderly manner, in half the time it took to even get through to the Konzerthaus today. I expect the Wiener Philharmoniker concerts will sell out in a flash, too. I don't know how well the Musikverein website handles heavy load. I actually now expect to start queuing at the ticket office at midnight before the presale starts. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular start of sale for a regular concert by the Musikverein would be 2 months before for members and one week later for everyone else. But then why would the the concert page say that presales are yet to be announced? Plus it seems to be a joint production between the Musikverein and the Philharmoniker themselves (who as far as I know only sell subscriptions and not individual concerts, but being announced just now, it's not part of any cycle of the next season). So I guess it could be anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 9,151 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Another thought: I've been trying to find a list of composers who have conducted the Vienna Philharmonic in their own works, but haven't found anything. I can't think of many - the few who come to mind who have or might have conducted their own works are Mahler, Strauss, Bernstein, Khatchaturian and Boulez. Quite a select club I'd say. fommes and Joni Wiljami 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
