bollemanneke 3,348 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Nope! Also, I bought the 2 CD live Edition from the Vienna concert. I'm not that bad, you know. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 593 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I agree it is a nice recording. Even "Far and Away" is enjoyable without the strings. Shows how good the compositions are. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,361 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I listened to some of this this week - really enjoyed it. The Cowboys Overture, Far and Away, and The Sugarland Express were particularly enjoyable thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,740 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This collection, culled from the two concerts he conducted (2003 and 2008), is an absolute treasure that I never in a million years expected to see released!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant Burnette 654 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Finally getting around to listening to this; only about halfway done so far, but I'm enjoying it more than (for no apparent reason) I expected to. Bespin and thx99 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,127 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Yeah it's a winner. Just fun to hear so much material, conducted by JW, without strings, and the band having to compensate for that. Bryant Burnette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2022 If, like me, you're interested in the wind band arrangements of Williams music, this video was put out just 2 weeks ago. It's a university band so the performance isn't as professional as the Marine Band would be but this is the first time I've heard the wind band arrangement of "Adventures of Han" Bryant Burnette, Bayesian and Jurassic Shark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Always interesting to see what they do with the saxophone section. Sometimes the altos and tenors will play viola/cello parts or they'll double horn parts, while the bari saxes often double with the low brass (I love the specific timbre of bari sax with tuba/trombone) thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
