igger6 894 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yes, Eastwick was amazing! That one, along with "Hedwig" and a few others, really represent interesting departures from the originals, as if Williams is remodeling the house rather than just rearranging the furniture. Another volume would be amazing, but I'd also love to see him do a similar project with Gloria Cheng on the piano, or maybe one with a flutist.

lairdo 727 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 During our interview with Ms. Mutter, she said that Williams was creating a violin-piano reduction for the Cinderella Liberty track. I would love for that to be on a future album - with Williams on the piano! (And Gloria Cheng is a nice option too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmartigan JC 86 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 What an absolute delight! So glad to be able to listento/watch this concert in its entirety. The yet unreleased arrangements are truly wonderful. And the sound is pretty good, for a live outdoor perfomance. I might even add that the "harshness" that was pointed in the CD performance is much reduced here, probably due to two things: Mutter's further familiarity with the pieces as well as a more distant micing setup (studio recording tends to locate the mics much nearer to the violin).

The show went live this morning. http://theindycast.com/the-magic-of-john-williams-45-anne-sophie-mutter/ During our interview (which is the first 35 mins of the special), we briefly talked about Marion’s theme - although she gave nothing away about encore that happened at the concert. (Our interview as on Wednesday, 11 September.) I do not think, though, based on her chat that this Raiders March was a specific Williams arrangement. I think she might have been more specific about that, and in listening to it, I feel she was just playing on top. I will see if I can find out more. She also hinted strongly about a possible violin concerto. She was a charming person to speak to, and she loves this music as has been evident in the album, at Tanglewood and on the Saturday Munich concert. A violin concerto would be amazing. Quite frankly, the Dracula piece sounds like a nice third or fourth movement of a violin concerto. While I like William's more abstract approach to concert works, I would love a violin concerto in a film/concert hybrid mode, like with Dracula or the Memoirs suite for cello.

About the concert upload - oh those Night Journeys! - link seems to be dead, but I had at least watched through Prayer for Peace. Really enjoyable, sometimes you just wanted a little relief from the mix but my word what performance excellence and a well produced visual treat. David Newman knows from JW and violin. Mutter is so powerful, only minutely flagging in tuning by late in the marathon. Minor quibble: the violin doing consecutive passages at one point in Leia that had originally been handed off to the violin from another section, winds or brass (writing this up the next day), thus some effect was flattened right there...a small detail. And in defence of the mix, it was on the fly and quite solid for the most part. Beautiful setting. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Mutter talked about the importance of these pieces for the repertoire which leads me to believe that they are going to be made available. No idea if she has some period where only she is allowed to play them (I would think that might be the case).
