I was thinking that one reason for releasing Fawkes in particular, might be that—aside from Sound the Bells—it is the only piece from these Vienna/Berlin concerts which DG has not yet released a recording of Williams conducting. For example, the tracks that were omitted from the first Vienna album had already been featured on the "Across the Stars" album; likewise, almost every piece on the 2022 Vienna program has already been featured on the Berlin album (and the Violin Concerto No. 2 on the Boston album earlier this year). Of course, I'd still love to get a full album of the 2022 Vienna concert. But I guess part of me wonders if DG is willing to release that much duplication of repertoire, with the same conductor within about a single year. We'll see.

lairdo 726 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I guess they are releasing this because of The Fabelmans and riding on an assumption of JW trending in searches due to the soundtrack release. Not that I am complaining. It's a really lovely. Somewhat different than other renditions. Besides streaming, I notice that HDTracks has it for sale for $3 (although HDLISTEN20 will drop that and other new releases by 20% through Monday). I don't see it on Presto or Qobuz yet (not that I looked that hard). Anyway, super happy to have this and also hope we get Vienna 2 in some format or another.

Fabulous performance. Very looking forward to the album. It'll definitely be released. Repetitions of certain pieces don't matter that much in a classical music world. What matters more is that Williams conducted most of them with this particular orchestra for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glaring trumpet flub at 3:45 keeps Berlin's HPWW from being a benchmark, for me. It's not like it's just some random accompaniment note—it's the melody, flubbed by the loudest instrument that plays it. Not only that, but it's the only time that that phrase (the first part of the Hogwarts Forever theme) shows up in the piece. So, if this were the only recording of the piece that you ever heard, there is literally not a single correct appearance of that phrase anywhere to be found in the recording.

igger6 894 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This is great! Fawkes is so criminally under-programmed that any release is a good one. And the tempo change (barely perceptible to me) just brings out other elements of the orchestration I hadn't focused on before. So now I just have to decide whether to buy this single or wait and see on an album (especially with the potential for an album with the new fanfare on it!).
