Without doubt both in terms of the playing and also the variety of the repertoire. I do like some of his early recordings with the Israeli Philharmonic too. Probably not as sharp as the NY Orchestras, but Lenny seemed to love being with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time that JW was live, in London? 1998. What's wrong with this picture? This may seem unfair, but consider that here in Vienna, we have been deprived of the majesty of Dirk Brossé's conducting for decades now. He has written a nice little piece as a tribute to Vienna though, which makes us all a little less depressed about our complete lack of Brossé: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/HYZFv Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I don't really see how behind-the-scenes drama should have any bearing on one's assessment of the final product. Carreras gave some beautiful performances on that album, especially in "Maria" and the Balcony sequence. And the performances of the studio musicians are wonderful. It remains my go-to for WSS and I can't see it being replaced. blondheim and Romão 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,313 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 So do we think Fabelmans must be recording by now? Surely Williams needs to knock off those sessions before departing to Vienna. I wonder if he's allowing any spare time to sightsee on this trip? I can imagine his writing schedule will be relentless once he returns to LA.

The COVID situation is a mess, but that's been a constant for weeks. ICUs loads are under control, so officials act like everything is fine, and on Saturday most restrictions will be lifted, while regular hospitalisations have been continually rising and are expected to (hopefully) peak this weekend. Luckily, Vienna is sticking to stricter rules, and 3G certificates and FFP2 masks are still mandatory in concerts. I don't think Williams has much to worry about, but I would avoid restaurants and pubs in his place (but I expect he would do that anyway).
