Favourite performances (pieces) on the Berlin concerts

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,429]

Only three is a bit hard to choose. I found the two suites from Far and Away and CE3K among the best performances of the whole evening closely followed by E.T., JP, the Elegy and Scherzo

[GlastoEls 556]

Elegy my clear number one over the two nights. 

[Holko 9,491]

Elegy was amazing, I loved how much fun they were all having in F&A, and their control over timing and volume in CE3K was impeccable.

Woah, how'd you get the poll options into a tiny scrolling box? I've never seen that before

You tell me! 

[Pawel P. 738]

Far & Away, Elegy and The Throne Room for me, but I liked everything.

[Marian Schedenig 8,158]

Hard to say, but I picked the three pieces that stood out to me as a particularly excellent fit for the orchestra and the hall:

• Nimbus 2000
• Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra
• The Adventures of Han

[Thor 7,453]

JURASSIC PARK, always. But also the "Elegy" (my second favourite of his concert works, after FIVE SACRED TREES) -- a necessary respite among all the upbeat music. Furthermore, FAR & AWAY (just to see the Berlin Phil jigue it up) and "Han", which I've only heard some 2-3 times since the SOLO soundtrack was released.

Not sure if these have been posted elsewhere, but a couple of videos popped up on YouTube two weeks ago:

 

 

 

 

And also from Germany, the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie has recently uploaded performances of The Raiders March, Hedwig's Theme, and Jurassic Park. Sounds good... just that muted second phrase of the Jurassic Park solo horn intro as pronounced is as Gustovo's recording. Much less noticeable when Williams has recently performed it. And it wasn't played like that on the OST and earlier recordings. I don't like it! Does the Hal Leonard published score have that?

Harry's Wonderous World - for that unexpected ritardando.

Adventures of Han - for repertoire value.

Princess Leia's Theme  - for the perfection of this one-off performance.

[bollemanneke 3,334]

How did I miss this thread? HWW for the ritardando, F&A for the jig and the end, and all the rest for all the rest.

Elegy, Nimbus 2000 and Scherzo for the MC
