Popular Post Holko 10,835 Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 Well this was incredible. The playing was mostly impeccable. JW was in damn fine shape, ran in for the 2nd part like the wind, visibly had fun doing it, hands moved so delicately. I refuse to accept he's 90! Also, I have now heard John Fucking Williams conduct the end of E.T. and SW, his two best scores and my two top favourite scores ever, live in the same room. This was never even a dream of mine because I knew it would never happen. I can die now.

Nice people. Didn't the Viennese once nominate the Vienna charme for UNESCO world heritage site? Not just nominated, but on the official list. Partly for the view in the background of this photo: 4 hours ago, PetePan said: 5 hours ago, crypto said: IIRC the Berlin concert was recorded using discrete, remotely controlled cameras; there weren't camera operators in the concert hall, it was all controlled backstage. I assume Berlin's camera setup is a permanent fixture of the hall, as are the dangling micorphones at the Musikverein. But there are no permanent cameras there (remember it was built about 100 years before the Berliner Philharmonie). 3 hours ago, bollemanneke said: YES! Any idea why this is no video recording? Last time the video recording was done by Servus TV (a local TV station). They're probably not involved this time, and I have no idea what it would take for DG to film the whole thing themselves. 1 hour ago, bollemanneke said: How do you flub the only horn solo? Viennese horns are notoriously hard to play, and the soloist was clearly nervous. Let's hope he gets it right tomorrow. 41 minutes ago, Thor said: Ok. Might have been some other STAR WARS thing in which he feigned ignorance. He's been doing it with various SW pieces. My theory is that he was made aware that he kept claiming the themes were from the wrong films, so he switched to this meme. 39 minutes ago, Amer said: Did anyone record from their own mobiles this time? Hopefully these would be posted here and on YouTube. They were rather strict this time and stopped people from even taking photos before the concert. The house in fact has a strict no-photo policy, not just during the concerts but at all times. It used to not be strongly observed though, so I'm not sure if it is new (I wasn't aware of it until November). I don't think they mind if people take shots of the hall with their programme (like I like to do), or of the final applause, but they certainly won't let you film the concert if they spot you. 3 hours ago, Thor said: By the way, is the JW concert at the same venue as the Horner and Elfman concerts, i.e. the Hollywood in Vienna venue? (I'm sorry if this has been discussed earlier, and I keep confusing it with the one where the New Year's concert is held....you have too many concert halls!). The two main houses are the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus. The Musikverein is the home of the Wiener Philharmoniker and has the famous "Golden Hall", which is the venue of the Neujahrskonzert and John Williams's Viennese concerts. The Konzerthaus's great hall has very different acoustics with a much drier sound. It also has Europe's largest concert organ. That's where Hollywood in Vienna's concerts take place. crlbrg, Falstaft, mahler3 and 6 others 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Holko 10,835 Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 It got a big applause, though not quite as big as Throne Room, Flying and Imp March. My favourite quip was when ASM came back for the encore, JW started the sentence "So Ms. Mutter", a "whoo" came from the audience, he looked at them, said "I agree!" and continued. eitam, Matthias, Bayesian and 13 others 10 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could hear parts of the audience getting restless during some parts. One guy in the row next to me got up during the music and left the hall, disturbing all those around him who had to move to allow him to get out. I'd been annoyed by him before the concert even started - he was one of those people who are either too stupid or simply unwilling to put their mask on correctly. That he simply got up without a care for the rest of the audience didn't surprise me. But that's the only disturbance I noticed. I could see several smaller children in the audience, and they didn't seem too nonplussed and all stayed for the rest of the concert.

Damien F 1,780 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 At the start of the Star Wars section, he announced the three pieces: Resistance Theme, Leia's Theme, and Throne Room. I'm pretty sure he forgot about the Throne Room because after Leia's Theme he gestured to the orchestra to stand up to accept the applause like at the end of the concert, but then the orchestra leader said something to JW and he put his hand to his head in a kinda d'oh gesture. The orchestra then sat down and played The Throne Room. I wonder did any one else here notice that. josefsuma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not think I would be too bummed about missing this - but I have to say now the event has come around I have enormous FOMO and wish everyone at the Sunday concert a wonderful time.
