It will be one of two John Williams pieces being played as an encore. Premieres in any case!” She’s currently on a tour with the Virtuosi. Looks like there’s a concert tonight in Iceland, then Miami, Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, and Toronto.

Bespin 6,997 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The Theme from "The Long Goodbye" was already recorded on the 2022 album "Williams: Violin Concerto No. 2 & Selected Film Themes", so we are talking about a new arrangement for a small ensemble?

Yes, a new arrangement for her small ensemble of young musicians. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igger6 771 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Nothing in that quote specifically indicates that Williams made the arrangements, though, right? But then again, one of the originals was William Ross, so who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rpvee 557 Posted February 4 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 4 Just tuned into WQXR to hear what turned out to be the ending applause of Anne-Sophie’s Carnegie Hall concert with the Virtuosi! Couldn’t make it tonight and didn’t know it was being broadcast. I imagine it’ll be available for streaming later and we’ll all get to hear these new arrangements. The commentators said she did a lot of gushing about Williams. They also just interviewed her, and she mentioned Williams continuing to rewrite his themes for violin! crocodile, Once and pete 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been hoping for more - hopefully another CD. I'd been thinking about starting a thread to ask what everyone wanted next from Williams/Mutter, but I'm too lazy.

bollemanneke 2,931 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I really wish he would record that Violin Concerto with the VPO. Oh, and also Across The Stars! Now wouldn't that be an album to look forward to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASM says in her audio introduction to The Long Goodbye that JW did in fact update the arrangement for string orchestra. She did not indicate that on Cinderella Liberty, but I think we can guess that he did that too. Both sounded great and felt totally consistent with the bit of Vivaldi that was the 2nd encore between the two JW pieces. I look forward to listening to the whole concert tomorrow (although no other JW parts to it). igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
