Steve 593 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Got my copy on wednesday from jpc.de I enjoy it a lot. The different mixes highlights different instrument sections compared to the Williams recordings. Especially "Escapades"from CMIYC is fantastic. The vibraphone is so nicely prominent in the mix. Incredible performance. "JFK" and "Born on the 4th of July" are great too, but I think nothing beats Tim Morrisons trumpet playing on the originals. Reinhold Friedrich's phrasing is a bit too harsh at times (but great playing overall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,075 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I like the entire album as well. What do you think about the dynamics? I read some comments here about it being too compressed at the loudest parts of the pieces, but that never entered mind the few times I've listened to it.

Sometimes the trumpets sound a bit compressed, or it is just my imagination. Overall I'd say the dynamics are pretty good. Another thing I liked a lot was the accordion in "The Terminal".

Thor 7,504 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I was sent a physical copy today, no. 2159.

Bayesian 1,363 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 @ATXHusker @Jay, might I recommend you do what I did--which was to cancel my Amazon order after I got fed up with the delayed release date and purchase it instead at www.jpc.de. It's actually selling at a 10% discount right now (24.99 Euros) and shipping is a ridiculously low 3.50 Euros. You'll pay less than what Amazon would have charged even after conversion. I'd never bought from jpc before this, but I'd absolutely buy from them again. They give you tracking info and the parcel packing was first-rate.

What did I tell you to do last week?? Cancel that shit and order it from www.jpc.de. Mine shipped out two or three days after I placed the order with them, with tracking info. (DHL to the US, then USPS, full tracking the whole way.) Excellent packaging and great email communication from start to finish. You’ll pay less than what Amazon would charge, or at least very close to it (depending on state tax), because they charge next to nothing to ship. And you want this release. It’s beautiful and well made. The recordings are top shelf. And it’s got that European style of penmanship on the back, where the unit number goes. The way they use two lines to draw a “1” or swerve the horizontal part of a “2,” that kind of thing. It just classes up the whole thing in a way most people couldn’t care less about—but which is exactly why you should care. I’m guessing Amazon will eventually get some copies, but the agony of waiting is just going to get worse. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that in Williams' Signature Edition score? I know that the Sig. Edition is slightly different from the OST, and I heard him perform a version in London in 1998 with a different intro and ending, but that bit from 32 seconds is I think something I've not head before. Unless my memory from a few seconds of music heard 23 years ago is failing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
