Are you sure? I thought it was around 55 seconds into “Regaining a son”. Update:  Oh yeah you’re right. I was comparing the audio sample with the earlier rendition in the elegy in which the solo cello is quite prominent.  But the strings take that motive later around 3:45.  

 

Yeah, even though the clip is from the tutti section of the piece, you can clearly hear Yo Yo's cello to a far greater extent than you can in "Regaining a Son".

This is based on a film score piece right? or vice-versa? I can't quite place it, but I know I've heard this melody before. 1:55  My first thought was Bachelor Flat, but I just skimmed the soundtrack and don't think it's from that.

Yes, it's based on "Hassle in the Castle" from CHECKMATE.

Is there a U.S.-based outlet for ordering this set?  I checked Amazon U.S. but nothing is coming up.

[Bespin 8,484]

It's only for the french speaking persons, sorry.

I ask because I plan on putting this on my wish list for Christmas and I want to provide a familiar link to whoever in my family would get this for me lol

Thanks! That looks fun. 

 

I thought Dream Away was confirmed to be the Frank Sinatra version?

[Miguel Andrade 1,263]

From my understanding, Williams asked that Dream Away would be the Sinatra recording.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that although this information is very likely to be 100% accurate, we don't know the original source and therefore it should only be considered as a leak and not the actual official information.

Has the track list that Thor posted on page 1, copied from an FSM post by a guy who calls himself "Lokutus", been verified as real by anything official?

Yes. A big-budget movie musical not so much about penises but about dickheads, (although there is a fallen vagina), and the two lead brothers are not only gay but have the hots for each other. God even gets a cameo, because nothing screams "gay incest" more than God turning up.

Yes, it is exactly what you think it is. A big-budget movie musical about penises. 

I also read "Penis Patrol" and "Reviving the Lords of the Phallus".

I had to edit my initial description because I was being too metaphorical with describing the content. 

 

But "Penis Patrol" and "Reviving the Lords of the Phallus"??? That sounds more like something to be watched than read .

He calls the Mancinis "objects".

Indeed, John Williams' reference to Mancini's albums in the 60s as 'objects' perfectly encapsulates their essence: as he said, they were truly shiny, bright little treasures of their era.

 

Though acknowledging the essence of these soundtracks predominantly rooted in jazz, portraying the vibrant spirit of the '60s, it's essential to appreciate how their unique style shaped and defined an iconic period in film music.

The race was won by a French producer/director who also won a single Oscar back in the 70s and whose collaboration with JW is represented by a mere three tracks on this 20 CD box set he is so proudly sporting:
