Amer 2,077 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Yes @lairdo. I'm anticipating V#2 should come as well. Although the video will have the blu ray sound as well. Hopefully with Dolby Atmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,491 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 So, I bought a digital concert hall ticket back in the day to watch the concert live. Now I got a letter from Berlin containing a brochure for the 22/23 season, a free 7 day ticket for the digital concert hall/archive, and a 10% discount for a 12-month ticket for the same!

michael_grig 464 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Me too! I just checked out some pieces by Jörg Widmann, because you don't find much free stuff on the internet. This piece https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/work/51214-1 'Tanz auf dem Vulkan' (Dance on the volcano) is absolutely amazing! Anyone who has received free 7-day access should use it for watching this. But there are so many more good performances! Like this amazing perfrmance of Tom and Jerry https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/work/20456-6 I love it!! The timpani player from the JW concert, another percussionist and a viola player from the JW concert play a nice cat-and-mouse game there!

Jay 37,249 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I finally took the shrinkwrap off my physical CD edition today, and am listening to the concert in any form for the first time right now The performance is really good. The ending of the Raiders March was interesting, it felt extra "militaristic" Oh man, just got to his introduction to Princess Leia's theme. That story was so brief and funny the first time I heard it, but is so elongated for no good reason in this iteration. Oofta. BB-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that wasn't part of the TV program. From STAR WARS, they played "The Adventures of Han", "Yoda's Theme" and "Throne Room & Finale" (and "The Imperial March" as an encore?). Perhaps the TV program is different from the Blu-ray (I don't own the Blu-ray yet). BB-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fools! 😂 Leia definitely on the Blu-ray. I have no idea why, but I haven’t devoured and obsessed quite so much over the Berlin Blu-ray as much as the Vienna.

BB-8 3,454 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Recent "Film Nights" with the Göttinger Symphonieorchester in Germany under the wand of Nicholas Milton included "Flying Theme" from E.T., among other well-known JW concert arrangements. It is worth mentioning that the horn section raised their bells in the finale of E.T. - just like in The Berlin Concerts! Nice to witness an "informed" performance practice being picked up by other musicians. aj_vader and bollemanneke 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This suggests (or rather confirms) that it was previously overlooked. VPO didn't raise their bells. But they must be able to do so since bell-raising was introduced by Mahler.
