Watched the whole thing. Thanks for posting. JW also discussed the great freedom that he has when writing concert music, compared to film, not being constrained by the exact timing required to compose to specific scene lengths.

Popular Post artguy360 1,843 Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 JW is so open, animated, and effusive in this interview! He's so relaxed and actually talks in more detail about his own music. JW is typically fairly animated, but here I felt like I was watching him be free and loose in an interview.

oxo1977 17 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Vienna last year, Berlin last month, Milan next June... The next European destination? My guess: with Gustavo Dudamel at the head of Opéra de Paris, I bet that in fall 2022, there will be a "John Williams dirige John Williams" concert at the Philharmonie de Paris. That's my new hope.

bigjimwilson 254 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 As much as his collaboration with Anna-Sophie isn't exactly my favourite of his career, I just love seeing him so enthused about something. It's quite clear they have a truly special connection and it means a lot to both of them. There's a lovely moment when he calls her "Angel," and I feel like we get a slight glimpse behind the formal interview mask.... a bit like him calling JJ "baby" in that TFA video. Great to see him so chatty and relaxed. Wonderful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Here's a German news article: https://www.mopo.de/news/promi-show/hollywoods-soundgigant-john-williams-wird/ At the end, it claims that Williams has announced on Instagram that he wants to go to Leipzig, Hamburg, and Berlin.

Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Exactly. He certainly didn't announce anything on Instagram. So whatever the source of that alleged announcement is supposed to be is completely unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 591 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think ASM said he wants to visit Hamburg among other european cities. But that was back in october. Nothing new in recent interviews as far as I know. He could play more concerts in europe when he comes here in march. The long journey for just two concerts seems a bit of a waste of energy.

Gurkensalat 340 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Well, he has been to Berlin and Leipzig, so only Hamburg is missing.
