michael_grig 464 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 But this time the program should then be limited only to the violin concerto and a few film music pieces that he has not yet played in Vienna! So we don't get just a best-of concert, but also to hear something different, maybe more serious stuff. crlbrg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,287 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Is it too early to start guessing the set list? I'm thinking there won't be much overlap with the first Vienna concert or Berlin, but it's hard to say with JW... I guess staples like The Imperial March or Raiders March could return as encores (the latter being fresh on his mind, obviously). I reckon Long Goodbye and VC #2 are shoe-ins, though. Han Solo and the Princess would be a god-tier inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I really want to hear han and princess in good quality!!! It has such atypical harmony turns, it was kind of atypical for JW, but exactly what I expected!

Definitely, but it just was recorded by DG in Boston last October, with both ASM and JW, to be released later this year as far as we know. From the film music themes in Vienna in March, only -Fawkes the Phoenix (Harry Potter) -March of the Resistance (SW) -Princess Leia's Theme (SW) and maybe one of the encores (?) are not previously recorded by DG. So probably not happening, but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxTheHouseelf 324 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think this will be released, because the Vienna Phil played only Marion's Theme at the 'John Williams in Vienna' concert, so there is no doubling of the pieces.

Lord Montague 42 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I would have preferred a program without film themes, only some encores, this time with Vienna. I feel JW is missing an opportunity to get some of his less popular non-film scores the attention they deserve with one of the world's best orchestras. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but he is very busy composing these days AFAIK, so not too many scores he didn't perform recently anyway seem just reasonable for reducing the workload in preparation. It's a bit of a double headed animal though, that concert. The hardcore JW fans, who again would kill their grandmas to get tickets, will not care much about the great but modernist violin concerto. A bit more courage would have been nice to perform less popular (read non-film) scores by the master. michael_grig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
