Popular Post Tom 4,614 Posted July 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2020 This was announced in the Vienna thread, but I am guessing that is not regularly checked by many. The piece is extremely good--so why not give it its own thread. Here you go: DG has now released a video of the performance: ChrisAfonso, Fancyarcher, ricsim88 and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I just absolutely ADORE the part at 1:40 - It's so scary and so fun! The whole is brilliant, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondheim 1,157 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 This is the best it has ever sounded. If this had been on Across the Stars, it would have been my favorite arrangement and track. Williams in Vienna and Across the Stars are now essential Williams purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 2,833 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Did they use a thunder sheet in Vienna? I’m remember there was one used in this piece by the LSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 153 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I remember at the Saturday performance that somebody on the righ balcony coughed really loud at the wrong moment during this performance - and remember hoping that they would choose the Sunday performance for the Blu-ray.

Pawel P. 738 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think they would be able to wipe out that cough if it was needed, since they wiped out all the applause in the CD version of The Imperial March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a different take, presumably. I don't know if they recorded any inserts with ASM (or how difficult it is to splice a small edit into a solo performance).

pete 891 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think I remember reading there was at least some recording of the orchestra aside from the concerts? Anyway, I'm so glad there is no audience clapping at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,306 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I hate live recordings with a noisy audience. The recent Hans Zimmer collection only had applause on a few tracks. The wonderful c9ncert recording of GOJIRA was also sans spectators. Thankfully!!!!!!!! pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAY back in the late '80s, I saw BEETLEJUICE on video and remember thinking the opening title music was so original and fresh and (quietly) lamenting that JW didn't really write music like that. Then I saw WITCHES OF EASTWICK and was blown away! That it was written the year previous was just icing on the cake. WITCHES was the first CD I ever bought and is still one of my favorite Williams scores. Ricard and bruce marshall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,089 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 It's reminiscent of Elfman insofar as Elfman's trademark style is plastering a film with wall to wall danse macabres. But Williams' piece is much too refined to actually confused it with Elfman. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to mention that I was positively surprised by a low-key Elfman score recently, when I watched The Girl on the Train and wondered who wrote the not particularly musically interesting, but nicely low key semi-electronic score. Also reminds me that I still have to pick up Black Beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
