Popular Post Dave Norris 13 Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hi Guys, haven’t posted for a while as work is ramping up (so I can blame James Bond for that). Managed to bag A single ticket for Thursday & Saturday & a pair for Friday so Julie & I can actually attend together. Germany is currently on the UK’s ‘green list’ so no travel restrictions at present (that could all change of course) so will be booking travel and accommodation soon. Some of you on here already know me so I look forward to catching with some of you in Berlin Cheers Jay, crocodile, TownerFan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 5,969 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Awesome, Dave. I wondered if you managed to secure a ticket. Will hopefully see you and Julie (although let's not repeat the legendary night in Ghent all those years ago -- I'm too old for that now).

Or Yaari 3 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hi, I live in Berlin and wasn't able to get tickets :'(, I dreamed , if someone have tickets and couldn't come to one of the concerts (due to Corona or any other reason) , I would be happy if they let me know (preferably 2 tickets but even 1 would be amazing!!!) , I would be more than happy to pay full price on the tickets. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxTheHouseelf 297 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 A nice article about Williams has been published in the "Phil" magazine of the Berliner Philharmoniker (in German, couldn't find an english version), page 22. Nothing new really but a nice read nonetheless. Page 50/51 presents Bruno Delepelaire (1st Principal Cello) who will play the Elegy. https://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/medien/phil/ St0rMl0rD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Except for that ending the article is quite nice but nothing new, as had been said. I had never heard of this comparison between Siegfried's and Luke Skywalker's themes before, which does sound a little constructed. The key in the Star Wars Main Theme is possibly the seventh. Even Superman reaches out further than Siegfried who moves within five notes with his whimsical little horn. As soon as he steps out of this enclosure it is no longer Siegfried's theme.

toothless 955 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I wonder how many empty seats there will be at other non-Williams concerts given it looks like a lot of people went with subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 32,080 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 At Tanglewood last Friday night, there were A LOT of empty seats in the shed. Almost looked like more empty seats than filled seats! I felt bad everytime the camera angle shown on the TV showed all the empty seats with Williams in the same shot. The lawn was absolutely packed, however St0rMl0rD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only enter without vax if there is an urgent necessity, and in that case you would also need to isolate for 14 days upon arrival. Cultural activities don't seem to qualify as so-called "zwingende Notwendigkeit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would "his followers" sabotage the old man's great trip by not getting a pair of jabs themselves? Williams no doubt got both of his shots months ago, due to his age. So that's not really an issue. I have more worries about travel logistics if Germany stays "red", and about Williams' possible other health issues (like what happened in London). I will worry about this untill I'm actually sittting in the concert hall and I see him walk onstage.
