Next opportunity:

 

Wonder whether there is a chance that newly founded "The Philharmonic Brass" have something new in the pipeline...

Philharmonic Brass im Musikverein - Wien heute vom 19.04.2023 um 19:00 Uhr – ORF-TVthek

 

THE PHILHARMONIC BRASS - WIENER MUSIKVEREIN Tickets kaufen - ÖGB  Kartenstelle

 

I forgot to post that; I saw the poster at the Musikverein when I attended the Hisaishi concert. According to the programme on the website, the Williams pieces were only "film music" though (nothing more specific was listed).

I think the following has some relevance in this thread, too:

 

Apparently, Richard Strauss' VPO Fanfare will be played directly after the "God save the King" exclamation!

 

Wow!

 

Small world...

 

Fanfare
Strauss: Wiener Philharmoniker

The Abbey bells ring for 2 minutes.

A fanfare is sounded followed by a Gun Salute which will be fired by
The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery stationed at Horse Guards Parade.
This will be accompanied by Gun Salutes at His Majesty’s Fortress the Tower of London
fired by the Honourable Artillery Company, and at all Saluting Stations
throughout the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Bermuda, and Ships at Sea.

Patrick Doyle: "You need a better composer for this."

 

King Charles III: "I know, so let me ask my music consultant John Williams."

I was assuming the orchestra was playing the fanfare live as the people walked in. But if I look at the clips i don't see any orchestra playing so they must be playing a recording which could possibly be released.

I think the orchestra (brass/percussion) is up on the second tier, and it is a live performance.

They could have included the two Williams singles on the CD (Star Wars and Jurassic Park).

It is mentioned that this was their "debut album" so let's hope there'll be something dedicated to film themes and fanfares in the future.

But those two tracks are recorded, being released as digital singles... There's space left on the CD for them. Why not include them?

None of the pompous people attending seem to be able to make a full recording of it or care about it  .We got incidental bits when they were filming something else.

I hope John's fanfare becomes a staple for this event ever year.

 

I've always assumed that was the whole point of it. Like with the Strauss fanfare.

Can't you sneak in and make a recording, Marian?

We could crowd-fund a ticket, the (pompous) outfit and a (pompous) escort.
