Popular Post eitam 142 Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 Thanks Jay! Some interesting tidbits here! Quote Composing film music will always be his main focus; indeed he believes it’s probably the only aspect of his writing that has any real value. (I wonder how much of that is the journalist extrapolating) Quote 'The Imperial March seems to me a perfectly shaped piece that works very well.' (JW being uncharacteristically unmodest ) Quote 'my health is good by the way' Quote the composer has his sights set on a return to Vienna (‘I said I would go if someone will show me an autograph of Haydn’) A little disappointed that nothing is mentionned about a possible concert in Berlin, but another Vienna would be extremely fine Loert, Once and Will 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Marian Schedenig 3215 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Good article. A few bits and pieces seem awfully (really, pretty much ad verbatim) familiar, even though it's new - did we already have parts of this phone interview in an earlier article? Link to post Share on other sites

Marian Schedenig 3215 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Damn. I should actually *read* that at some point. It's been lying next to my desk since before Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites
Thor 3998 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Yes, I KNEW I had read this before. But these days, all the Williams interviews are pretty much the same, so I wasn't 100% sure. Incidentally, I need to read the rest of that magazine at some point; all the classical reviews etc. Link to post Share on other sites
igger6 381 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hey, bonus points, though, for not including the words "they're" or "all" or "dead" in any order. Once and Will 2 Link to post Share on other sites
