Omen II 1,235 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 🥸 Ha! I might have a bit of trouble perfecting the @mahler3 Norn Iron brogue but will give it a stab if called upon for the old announcing. I booked my ticket for this a while ago and will be in the choir (the choir seats that is, not the actual choir). There were a lot of flyers for this concert when I was at RAH for the Proms on Wednesday. mahler3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hmm, if it was titled "The Story In Music" than it would be the same as this, but it has a different title, so I guess we don't know what will be played! Maybe @mahler3 can reveal it to us. ciarlese and SyncMan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,670 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This really is a magnificent piece of music--the perfect encapsulation of Williams's "bittersweet send-off" mode of the last decade. mahler3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Omen II 1,235 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Although I have attended a lot of concerts featuring John Williams' music for the Star Wars films over the years, this one had so much that I had not heard live in concert before. You could tell the concert had been put together by genuine Williams fans, so well done to @mahler3 (whom I spotted waiting in the wings a few times!) and to @TownerFan who was evidently responsible for the informative and pleasingly accurate programme notes. As well as the UK concert premiere of music from The Rise of Skywalker posted above by @Biodome, yesterday was the first time I had heard the revised version of Han Solo and the Princess in concert. It might take a bit of getting used to, but having heard it live I think it's a grower. I was happy that the full version of Luke and Leia (apparently conductor Stephen Bell's favourite piece of music from the saga) was played rather than the truncated version heard sometimes more recently. The Lucasfilm Logo, The Adventures of Han Solo and The Rebellion is Reborn were also treats which I had not sampled live before. I thought the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was excellent yesterday evening. I did not notice any flubbed notes at all, the exposed horn solos in Princess Leia's Theme and Luke and Leia usually very unforgiving but both played perfectly. I was in the choir seats immediately behind the xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, cowbells, etc. and I loved watching the percussionists dart about between the various instruments. I had not noticed before that the opening of Rey's Theme was played on vibraphone, glockenspiel and marimba. It was also nice that the conductor made the first violins stand after The Asteroid Field, as the other sections of the orchestra usually get the love. Here are a few grainy photos taken from my vantage point. karelm, mahler3, fommes and 11 others 7 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
