Popular Post Jay 37,364 Posted February 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2022 I recently listened to the 12 Cellos album "As Time Goes By" from 2004, and thought I'd draw attention to its 3 Williams tracks via a dedicated thread. The first is "Family Portrait" from Harry Potter, which is a really great version! I like it more than the City of Prague version: The second is Catch Me If You Can, which honestly sounds great in any re-recording I've ever heard and this is no exception The third is "I Could Have Done More" from Schindler's List which is awesome, because most re-recordings from this score are always just the main theme and/or Remembrances, so it's great to actually get something different - and the performance is wonderful! Who else has some thoughts on these pieces on this album? Muad'Dib, Fabulin, Taikomochi and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxTheHouseelf 324 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Catch Me If You Can was part of their anniversary concert recently (09 Jan 2022). It's also in the concert preview at 1:15 min. https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/concert/53896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 I still can't believe Catch Me If You Can is a 20 year old score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulin 3,513 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Rarely have chamber renditions of Williams's music been as satisfying to me as these are. Thanks for sharing @Jay Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 These were really great. I've always been a bigger fan of cello section rather than solo cello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artguy360 1,843 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Wow, that's a pretty interesting rendition of the CMIYC theme. Not sure what to make of it. It's still fun, kinda creaky on the cellos. I think what's most interesting is that the piece still works without any of the jazz instruments.

GerateWohl 4,369 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 That's nice. At first I was a little disappointed by the Harry Potter piece, as I was looking forward to a pure cello arrangement and no clarinet. But the other two are great. igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Love the segment at 1:58 in the CMIYC theme! I would've thought a better piece to play for this album would be the Father's Theme, but the main theme works surprisingly well here.

I felt the same way when I discovered this album a few years back. I don't remember the CMIYC piece, though, which I'm loving now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
