Damien F 1,742 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I attended one of those "versus" concerts at the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago with David Arnold and Michael Giacchino. Both in attendance on stage. It was great fun because they obviously lent into the humour of the occasion.

This will only serve to reinforce the completely false and unjustifiable equivalency between JW and Zimmer. How do you even pit the two against each other anyway? Zimmer’s name has been applied to countless scores principally written by his RCP factory minions, so the match-up is already fundamentally flawed. Obviously, the production of this concert will be done such that neither composer is made to look inferior to the other. Hence, like I said, the false equivalency will be reinforced—two titans of film scoring, their music featured on the same stage, their names to forever share the same rarefied pedestal, etc. At this rate, it’s going to take decades to unwind this baseless received wisdom.

Smeltington 1,436 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Well, they ARE two titans of film scoring, despite our personal feelings on this board, and despite the differences in their musical style and creative process. They are the most recognizable and beloved names in their field. Which is a difficult thing to achieve, given that most people don't care about film scores or know many composers' names. And in the case of concerts like these, they're the names that can sell tickets. Maybe we should hope the John Williams half of the concert will be educational for some people in attendance Martinland and BB-8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Damien F 1,742 Posted July 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2023 Here's my take on one of the differences between Zimmer and JW. The general public only knows Zimmer because of his best scores. If you take his filmography and remove the scores that get played at concerts, what remains is mostly scores that vary from decent but unremarkable to downright terrible. However with JW, if you remove his famous scores from his filmography, what remains is still a collection of music dominated by 4 and 5 star scores that just happen to be less famous than his other works. ocelot, Brónach, ThePenitentMan1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ocelot 508 Posted July 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2023 I just went to the one at the Royal Albert Hal in London last month. It was hysterical to go from complete orchestral fantastic music to basically sitting on the same key with repeated notes ad nauseam for the Zimmer fare. My friend who I took liked both but preferred Williams because of the magic it had, he's not musical, to me it was worth sitting through the Zimmer stuff to get to each Williams piece.

ocelot 508 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 9 hours ago, Brónach said: wasn't this music in europe for centuries? Until the Baroque period CENTURIES ago when Back, Vivaldi and others decided to actually take you on some form of journey through a musical landscape filled with themes and modulation and orchestration and it continued growing from then on. Zimmer comes from a pop background where he and others like him do not know how to do all that, hence the simplistic and to some people "hypnotic" quality of his efforts lull them into thinking he is some sort of musical wonder. He really is not, plus, who is actually writing his stuff? Do you know that on one of his nature scores, he was on tour, three other composers did all the work, he did not write one note, yet it is his name on it? And no, this is not second hand info, trust me on this or not, it is true. Not even the main theme was him.

Popular Post ocelot 508 Posted July 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2023 A little anecdote. Years ago when one of the composers there, a friend of mine, was getting up higher a bit he said they heard my stuff and wanted me to join the Zimmer group. I was like cool, I don't mind, but wait, what was I supposed to do for my first year.... be Zimmer's Chauffeur. I'm sorry but what?! lol. I'm not a struggling composer, nor am I ever hard up for money, compared to most people I have plenty. I was like, I'll hire him a chauffeur myself. I am not driving my BMW M series Z4 coupe, which I had just bought, from my house in West Hollywood to Malibu everyday and put miles on it and then drive him to Santa Monica, every day and back just to show him I'm wanting to be a composer. Like how insane is that? Instead I worked for Chris Young, I did menial things sure, that's not a problem, you want me to pick up your dry cleaning because we're on a movie, or pick up the kids and get them home or get you cigarettes, no problem. I'm also taking down dictation and reviewing scenes and coming up with ideas for scenes and orchestrating while I do everything and learning so much and he got me my green card etc etc. But to just be a chauffeur for a year and nothing else?!

enchantedguest 5 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Thank so much for sharing this schedule - very helpful for us the fans My special gratitude for sharing the list of concerts, where John Williams' music will be sounding around the world, as I'm from Europe and this list gives more opportunities to attend the concerts BTW there are some other orchestras performing popular scores - on October 27th, in Vienna, in famous Musikquartier , we'll be having a chance to listen to best scores from Harry Potter, performed by Simple Music Ensemble. Just in case if someone gets in Austria that day Thank you again for the Master's agenda Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
