Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 5 hours ago, Jay said: Went to Dallas to hear it live? He was the conducter when it premiered at Tanglewood this summer. There's always a difference between hearing it from "within" the orchestra (or on the podium) and from the audience. Reverb and instrumental balance can vary a lot. A conductor will often have an assistant check the acoustics from further back during an on-location rehearsal, or let the musicians perform on their own at key points to check for him-/herself if no assistant is available. I would make sense for Williams to check how the audience hears his orchestrations and perhaps make some tweaks. QuartalHarmony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutter has been playing an encore at these concerts, so it could be a new piece there (such as the new arrangement of Across the Stars), but I doubt there would be three of them. Maybe the rest of these will be played and recorded at the free concert on October 3rd? The program just says "Three arrangements from film scores, for violin and orchesrtra" but doesn't give the titles. https://www.bso.org/brands/bso/education-community/community/concert-for-our-city-reunited-at-symphony-hall.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,042 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Very cool. I finally listened to this concerto in the past week. I enjoy it more than the other JW classical work I've heard—which, admittedly, is limited just to the contents of Yo-Yo Ma Plays the Music of John Williams. It's all challenging music, for sure. Williams speaks so directly in most of his film music. This is different, in ways that are hard to describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
