King Mark 3,631 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 This is bad . It's already been a few days no official video and not even a complete cell phone recording Anyone know how long the full piece is? crlbrg and BrotherSound 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,679 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Yeah, its frustrating. I think this was recorded by Willliams and DG will release it, but that may be weeks/months (and, of course, I could be wrong). Plus, now that it has been officially premiered, Williams may program it in to other concerts--maybe even San Fran. Having a piece called "Fanfare for the Vienna Philharmonic Ball" on the program is a virtual mic drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Really, I have a feeling he'll never perform this piece outside of it's intended purpose (Vienna Ball), and the Vienna philharmonic have no reason to play it outside of their annual ball. That's why I'm not too optimistic about an official release. And this is not some mid piece like A Toast or whatever . After listening to the clips over and over , I really think this could be his best celebratory fanfare ever and could even work as a Star Wars track.

Tom 4,679 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Yes, the clips portray a very disciplined, stately piece, yet with an abundance of all of the unique Williams's trademarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm not too optimistic about an official release. Don't forget that the VPO is a proud (vain) orchestra and they'd probably like to show off the fanfare they commissioned from a famous composer at some point. Also, there are many VPO chamber ensembles, including brass ones, who record CDs as well. So that's another possibility for a release. 13 hours ago, Pawel P. said: I think that aside from the possibility that Williams recorded it last March, there's a good chance the Vienna Philharmonic will play this Fanfare at their annual Summer Night Concert at Schönbrunn Palace. The next one will be on June 8. It's broadcast around the world, as is New Year's Concert at Musikverein, and released very quickly in CD, DVD and Blu-ray formats. https://www.sommernachtskonzert.at/index_en.html Vienna Philharmonic played Williams at Summer Night Concert a few times in previous years. Three years ago they performed the suite from Dr. Zhivago by Maurice Jarre. They featured the Strauss fanfare in the 2015 edition of the Summer Night concert, so this is indeed a possibility.

BB-8 3,494 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Perhaps VPO were just too busy touring Hamburg and Cologne over the weekend and need to catch-up on PR re the ball when they're back home. Joni Wiljami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,679 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 On 21/01/2023 at 4:57 PM, King Mark said: Anyone know how long the full piece is? The sheet music indicates an extension, which is fairly typical in pieces of this sort. They can keep repeating to accommodate the event. If a full recording of the Ball performance is ever released, it will likely be longer than a purely concert version of the piece, if that makes sense. But, to answer your question, I have no idea.

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Another question. Is it for Brass only of full orchestra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,679 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I was wondering that myself. I was surprised that it was just brass/percussion. The Vienna brass sounds so full and delightful, but I am not sure most brass bands could pull it off. Maybe it is just the number of instruments, but I was listening to the JW Denver Brass album, which is excellent, but it is thin in comparison to this. I wonder if he bothers releasing a Signature edition if it will not be for full orchestra. I think the latter approach would be better for the typical concert performance.

It wouldn't make sense to perform and record the new fanfare without members of the VPO and outside of the Viennese context. Let's hope DG (or whoever) are saving some gun powder for months/years to come. Compilations of singles with bonus tracks would be an appealing format and worth waiting for.

I find classical music has gotten incredibly dull and routine in the last ten years, and extreme like everything else. Its either the same stuff together thats all been played millions of times, or a program of completely unknown stuff, and usually its unknown because its not very good. I think the best chance of seeing the fanfare being played though is at Tanglewood, the Pops concerts have always been a wild card of pieces and in many cases over the years he whips out random stuff that hadnt been heard about in years. I miss the days when he did full concerts, you would see a lot of stuff on there including Sound the Bells or Song for World Piece, or he even did Hymn for New England a few times but he has re titled it for some reason, can't remember what the new name is.
