This seems like the most logical, unless there are really two versions of the 2CD. You are correct. The source reveals that first link is the 2 CD jewel case version (EAN 0028948620036). The second link is the 2 CD + 1 Blu-ray Video + 1 Blu-ray Audio version (EAN 0028948617135).

My CD+BR does not show shipped yet, but it's a good sign they took the funds. (At least I hope it is!) (I have no idea about those Barnes & Noble prices! Bonkers!) 3 hours later...

BB-8 3,472 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The speeches and applause are longer than anything I have seen on TV so far. Harrison Ford being in London etc. and the Princess Leia intro, stating that George Lucas didn't speak very much, are both in - I wasn't expecting this material. So luckily this production does work out for me in the end. What is annoying is that the end credits still feature the standard BPO list of musicians which is quite hard on the young academy members who were the actual stars on this occasion.

Could you talk about the speech to far and away, more specifically whether they preserved the horrible cuts from the DCH? 'Here's a little suite from Far and Away with TC and NK.

I'm afraid they have conserved that harsh editing for Far and Away. JW went into far greater detail re the donnybrook. If I recall correctly, he actually went on and on about Far and Away on Thursday. I think the Harry Potter intro works out OK, with that "stick or pole" and woodwind notion re Nimbus 2000.

No, I think that is where he talked extensively about his early scores, his thoughts on the complete release of the music of the Star Wars films, the incident that caused him to almost leave the pops, and his true thoughts on JJ Abrams and Zimmer. igger6, Jurassic Shark, lairdo and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lairdo 726 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 So, Presto shipped part of my order today. Hurray! The "standard" 2CD and the deluxe edition with Blu-Rays. Interestingly, the "deluxe" CD-only set did not ship. Also odd they did a partial shipment which would indicate to me that they do not expect the "deluxe" CD set in the next few days to be in stock.

Yeah, where he mentioned Lenny's stiff academic approach to jazz and how André Previn reminded him that Jaws came before Star Wars but that Dracula was still his favourite. Ah, and not to forget the story about him passing Anne Sophie's cookies on to William Ross and Conrad Pope. Tom, lairdo and Martinland 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lairdo 726 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 FYI Quboz preorders of the Berlin Concert are now available for downloading. (The order button says Preorder, but you can download them immediately.) Presto does not show the ability to download (or purchase the digital version) yet. Probably that will change in the next hour as it becomes Feb 4 in the UK. And sadly Fedex has informed me of a mechanical delay of my physical release package from Presto. Stuck in Stansted for now.

Unless the limited LP is sold out already? Sorry to hear that mahler3. I agree with Dr. Rick. If the LP is sold out, I would order the CDs anyway and contact their support team. I've had to update addresses and cancel orders with them, and they are a bit slow (2-3 days) but helpful. So, you could order the CDs so they ship now (even if from Presto or somewhere else) and within a week have had your original order modified to just the LPs.

Tom Guernsey 2,283 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Having been rather slow on the uptake (yes, it's the Berlin Philharmonic, but on the other hand, it's very much a standard JW greatest hits concert with music I have so many times already so I wonder how often I'll actually listen to it or watch the Blu-Rat) I only just ordered this, but gotta hand it to Presto. Order 15.59, despatch 16.03. I have only ever used them for digital downloads but gotta say that's impressive... plus I don't have to order from Amazon. mahler3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
