What a masterpiece. I did notice a few minor revisions. That, combined with a more confident performance, really gave the piece a great unity of direction. Really enjoyed listening on my dorm's TV speakers last night. Will and WilliamsStarShip2282 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was filmed, and it certainly wasn't streamed. I just wanted to hear the piece reverberate around the room as opposed to headphones.

Actually there were cameras all over the stage, BUT I don't know if they were filming those shows, or just today. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pete 906 Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 Finally, the Han Solo and the Princess arrangement for Anne-Sophie surfaces. It's my favorite Star Wars love theme, and I think it's probably amongst my favorite Williams' love themes. I was so excited when Ann-Sophie posted a picture with the title visible as she was preparing for Across The Stars, and then so sad and disappointed and shocked and gloomy when it didn't appear on that album. Finally, it's alive! Hope I can hear it soon! WilliamsStarShip2282, SteveMc, crumbs and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the arrangement for solo violin. He did revise the piece of orchestra, but the solo violin version wasn't heard until yesterday. It certainly could be similar to that version.

Popular Post igger6 894 Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 Wow. I was just re-listening to the violin arrangement of Rey's Theme about a week ago thinking, "If all Williams did for the rest of his career was reinvigorate his concert suites for violin and orchestra, it would be more than enough." Instead, we get even more of that AND the promise of new film work. What a gift. Falstaft, crumbs, Will and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are similarities for sure. pete and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take heart, @King Mark, sure sounds like we'll be getting it on record soon enough. The arrangement for ASM is pretty striking. Follows the formal outline of the 2018 arrangement but with quite a lot added, including a brand new intro and outro and expanded inner section. Interesting that he gives a full statement of the B-section of the theme that was missing from that 2018 arrangement. And it ends if anything even darker and pained than the 2018 one. With all those drooping chromatic sigh figures towards the end, I half expected him to hint at Kylo Ren's theme!

Thanks for describing @Falstaft An even darker ending than the 2018 revision... wow! Really hope we get a proper recording of this someday, hopefully under JW's baton. Seems like a missed opportunity not performing this in Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 906 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The free Sunday afternoon concert. It was the only part of that concert not streamed live, so I think we're out of luck for now. WilliamsStarShip2282 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamsStarShip2282 308 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 https://now.bso.org/details/26930?playlist_id=45 Here is the link to the BSO now video recording of the Sunday concert. Naturally, the Williams/ Mutter section is completely cut out, with only him conducting the Imperial March as the encore. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
