Both the violin and flute concertos were both 'originally recorded' by the London Symphony Orchestra in 1981 and was originally released by Varese Sarabande on LP/Vinyl in 1983 and, later, on CD. However, the violin concerto was premiered by the SLO in January of 1981 https://www.leonardslatkin.com/world-premieres/ SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,640 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Well, I was in the ballpark. Premiered--I'll take it. I bet Williams mentions it when there, as he usually tells such anecdotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lairdo 726 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 After the Williams concert on the November 1, the Violin Concerto is on Saturday and Sunday Nov 2 and 3 with the Nov 2 concert being streamed on radio online: https://www.slso.org/en/about-us/live-broadcasts/ (Tickets are available too for those near St Louis.) Here's the full program which is a nice combo - another great American composer (Barber - popularly known because his music was used in films) and a modern (in the post-Romantic era sense) French composer with Williams listed without apology right alongside for one of his concert pieces. Presumably, this is the revised version of the concerto. Stéphane Denève, conductor James Ehnes, violin BARBER Adagio for StringsJ. WILLIAMS Violin ConcertoSAINT-SAËNS Symphony No. 3, "Organ" Hollywood sneaks into Powell Hall. John Williams was working on scores for Steven Spielberg’s earliest films when he wrote his Violin Concerto. Popular soloist James Ehnes joins the SLSO for this performance. Barber’s Adagio has moved audiences in movies such as Platoon and Amélie, and Saint-Saëns gave “everything I was able to give” to a symphony of truly cinematic scope.

Definitely will be wearing that in Wien. Nice program, too! I'm intrigued about the so called “Symphonic Suite from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”. Never seen the ET themes presented in this fashion in concert, I believe. Quote The “Symphonic Suite from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” rounded off the first half. Denève reminisced about the first time he saw the film. “I was 12,” he said, “but please don’t do the math.” Performed “like a symphony,” the suite features more delicate dialog between flute and harp with the addition of refined piccolo solo work by Ann Choomack. The end of the second movement, “Stargazers,” was particularly poignant as Denève and the orchestra added a finely controlled backdrop to Lilly’s solos-harp conclusion. Does that mean new arrangements or just an assemblage of themes to conform the "suite"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three movement suite was performed once at Tanglewood, back in 2011. Starts with "Three Million Light Years from Home", the second movement "Stargazers" is the same arrangement recorded by Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops.

I have long held (well, since 2011), Williams needs to record the three-movement suite and make it available as a signature edition suite. It rivals many, many classical symphonies.

I’m not sure I understand the distinction you’re making? I think the film version of Bike Chase / The Departure (I’ll exclude the The Escape for a direct comparison) is an obviously more satisfying standalone composition than the concert adaptation.
