rough cut 1,714 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 They are absolutely similar, if anything the deluxe version is more lavish... The standard edition does have Mutter’s signature, though, maybe that’s why KM favors it... ? These pictures aren’t the best for comparison, I took them late in the summer after the concert, but I have both editions stowed away currently, so they’ll have to do as reference.

Tydirium 1,166 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Finally listening to this album all the way through for the first time. So far I'm loving what I'm hearing. 1. Is the SABRINA arrangement the same as in the Perlman rec/the same one Williams has been touring around for live performances? 2. Maybe my only minor gripe would be how many/how extensive the violin cadenzas are. Many of these tracks are 4-6 minutes long, so to dedicate seemingly a third of the track length to a cadenza seems like a bit overkill at times—especially when you have multiple tracks in a row like this. Of course, the playing is phenomenal and the writing for the cadenzas is excellent—if not a bit new-music-y at times. But it sounds like Williams was having fun being experimental, so I guess I'd rather him do something new than just rehash the classic orchestral arrangements and stick a violin on top. igger6 and Smeltington 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeH 768 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 They should release a third super deluxe embossed edition with all the cadenzas micro-edited out...call it Senza Cadenza! igger6 and Tydirium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tydirium 1,166 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Whoa, "Nice to Be Around" is a real gem... Was not previously familiar with this tune (or CINDERELLA LIBERTY or its music, whatsoever), so this was quite a pleasant surprise. Does anyone else get Korngold concerto vibes at 2:02-2:10? There's a particular spot from the 1st mvt of that concerto that this reminds me of. Absolutely gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I like that he changed up the structure so much. But I agree it's one of the less interesting ones. The only one I actually skip is the main Schindler's theme, cause I don't want to wear it out. But anyway, love this album, love the selections, love the new arrangements! Sometimes listening to a score puts me in the mood to hear the corresponding track from the Mutter album. Lately that's happened with Tintin and especially the new Far and Away release. It helps that those are two of my favorite tracks on Across the Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 It's a testament to his craft and skill that after all these years he still has this virtuosic streak. There's something special about these arrangements that manage to make it sound authentic to the films they come from and new at the same time. A new arrangement of Window to the Past for violin is what I'm dying to hear, as Sayuri's Theme from the first album is probably my favourite arrangement.

A person who has conducted a series interviews w/ him him quite recently told me the maestro is safely holed up at his LA home, working on his violin concerto and generally being taken well care of. Speaking of ASM and Williams's arrangements, does anyone else wonder what ever happened to the Han Solo & the Princess arrangement? We saw a glimpse of it in ASM's Instagram post a while back (screenshot below), but it appears not to have been performed. From what I can tell, it's different from both the original arrangement and the new orchestral one, inasmuch as the key is Dmaj at the start (as opposed to Db for the orig and Amaj for the new one).There's also little melodic gesture in the 5th system which is specific to the 2018 arrangement.

rough cut 1,714 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I know, we all know of the vinyl singles from Across The Stars: Hedwig's Theme Remembrances/Markings Across The Stars/Princess Leia But I'd somehow missed that there was another single released: A Prayer For Peace / The Chairman's Waltz Neat! On a sidenote, I like how all covers are thematically consistant, with Williams' precense looming in the background, as if to say "from the mind of John Williams", that kind of consistancy is rare nowadays.
