Anyway, yesterday we finally experienced this nice recording in a proper way: I have to agree with @SteTorino - as he told us in his Torino studio 24 hours after all those amazing events - that this performance is *very* different and in a *distinct* Italian style. (vibrato and phrasing especially) I still quite clearly remember the rendition Williams conducted with the London Symphony in 1996. That one was kind of an "official" version, so to speak, very close to the original recording with Perlman but a bit less on the yiddish side as far as vibrato is concerned. In Vienna in 2020, Williams chose to conduct Remembrances instead, which I found quite refreshing. Now, this version from La Scala is something entirely different: A complete new interpretation that lets you experience the piece in a totally different way and by doing so grips you anew emotionally. Wonderful, exciting, and memorable! P.S.: I would really like to know how Anne-Sophie Mutter felt about De Angelis' interpretation during the concert, as it is removed quite a bit from her own style of playing... fabio autore, SteTorino, Sandor and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BB-8 3,483 Posted January 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2023 The film music expert introduced the genre's greatest at La Scala The film music expert introduced the genre's greatest at La Scala | lnu.se John Williams meets Emilio Audissino after the dress rehearsal at La Scala. Photo: John Norris John Williams is the Hollywood composer who has made the music for films such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Jaws. When Williams, aged 90, made his debut at La Scala in Milan, film scholar Emilio Audissino from Linnaeus University was engaged as lecturer and writer of the concert program. In December 2022, the american composer John Williams made his debut at the La Scala in Milan, Italy. In a unique concert, where the tickets were sold out in five minutes, he conducted the orchestra Filarmonica della Scala and played his famous film music from Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Schindler’s list, Harry Potter and many more. Engaged as an expert Before the concert, film scholar Emilio Audissino from Linnaeus University was engaged as an expert. Emilio is one of the foremost John Williams experts and has written several books about the Hollywood composer and his music. He was engaged to write the concert program, which was distributed to the audience, where he presented and explained all the pieces of music that the orchestra played. Emilio was also engaged to give a talk on the music of John Williams, in front of an audience of 2000 people at the La Scala. The lecture took place at the dress rehearsal, which was opened to the public due to the great interest in the concert. The rehearsal was only open to people under 30 years of age. “It was great to be able to talk about John Williams’ music in front of 2,000 young people at La Scala. Also, I got to attend that entire rehearsal from the backstage, meaning that Williams would walk past me when he entered and exited the stage. It was of course great to meet and talk with him. The event was something unique and truly historic for me", says Emilio. It was a hectic week for Emilio. A few days earlier he also gave the opening keynote speech at the very first international conference all on John Williams, at the University of Évry, France. The title was "More than a Master Film Composer. John Williams and the Legitimisation of Film Music as Music". “This was perhaps the most important week of my entire life", says Emilio.

Bayesian 1,364 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I wonder why DG didn’t opt to release this concert. It would have been a lovely complement to JW’s two prior high-profile European visits. And I suppose the window to capitalize on the Milan concert has passed, so it’s unlikely now that we’ll ever get this concert on physical media. 😕 BB-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
