Looks like there’s a concert tonight in Iceland, then Miami, Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, and Toronto.

Bespin 8,483 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 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?

igger6 894 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 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 805 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2023 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!

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...

lairdo 726 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well, because I collect such things, I have pre-ordered the LP and CD with the autographs. Ridiculous shipping costs that DG Shop charges, but I guess that is something those in the EU/UK and other places feel all the time ordering from the US sites. Regarding the content of the album, most of it on DGState+ as it is from a concert this past June. https://www.stage-plus.com/video/vod_concert_APNM8GRFDPHMASJKBSPJEE8 (The concert and album differ on a Vivaldi piece between the main concert video and the "encores" listed in the album tracks.

lairdo 726 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Oh, the Schindler's List encore has been released today! I see it on Tidal and Qobuz and assume it is on Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon Music, Spotify etc. The album shows as pre-release, and this last track is available to stream now. 1 hour ago, Miguel Andrade said: I watched the concert live (it was available on the Arte Musique site for a while too) and the Vivaldi correct position is in between the two Williams. Interesting that they were swapped for the album. Good to know the concert video is what was done live. Also, DG's press release has incorrectly listed the key of Vivaldi 315. It is in G minor (as is correctly shown on the streaming platforms). The press release shows G major. Glad they did not mess up the Williams track names!
