And it has For Seiji. I admit I'm also a bit tired of very similar programmes being repeated all the time, but complaining about publishing the recordings just validates DG not releasing Vienna II.

Matt S. 493 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 DG can only release what the orchestras perform. I mean, I assume Williams decides the concert programs, not the record label. The way it looks to me, DG has been very conscious of what has already been released and has done their best to satisfy everybody. As far as Vienna II is concerned, they digitally released the 3 tracks that were unique to that concert. And the first Vienna concert single CD contained the one Mutter track that didn’t make it onto Across the Stars (Devil’s Dance). I agree that a greater variety would be great, but I don’t think it’s going to happen beyond the one lesser-known piece he usually throws into each show.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Just saw this video: And I noticed something: for this piece, John Williams is not using the sheet music to conduct the orchestra. The book where the sheets are supposed to be is closed: Of course, Williams has conducted the Raiders March SO MANY TIMES since 1981 (and especially over the last 2 years) that he knows the piece top to bottom. Still, I think this is impressive, especially at his age. For those of you who usually watch Williams' concerts: does he always conduct at least his most famous pieces without the sheets?

Yes, he also conducted Superman march, Imperial march and Throne room without the scores 🙂 Conductors often do so. Seiji Ozawa conducted full symphonies without the sheet music for example.

Popular Post bigjimwilson 256 Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Since no further info seemed to be popping up, I emailed DG about their plans for this release. I was beginning to wonder if the Blu-ray set would be a Japanese exclusive, with nothing else coming. Weirdly, their first reply said that it was indeed an exclusive Japanese release, and they only had a digital release planned for elsewhere. But then when I followed up with a quote from their press release the next reply (from a different member of staff) said that physical releases are indeed coming for the international market. Slight panic, followed by some sort of comfort, but with a lingering taste of concern BB-8, bollemanneke, Smeltington and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Not insensitive at all, but I'm not quite sure how to answer it. Do you mean, how do I watch them? Well, in this case I'd just be enjoying the surround version as opposed to the stereo mix, provided they've invented better hearing aids by that time since my right eardrum had to go and become all funny and healing is not something it wants to. Or do you mean, why would I want to watch them with someone? Maybe to ask their opinion on what they see or the occasional description of what they see. Or because I'm guessing it would be more exciting for them to watch instead of just listen. Does that answer your question?

BB-8 3,479 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I wonder whether @TownerFan sees ways of reaching out to Filarmonica della Scala re the one-off Milan concert to get the archival tapes to an indie publisher?

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I think I asked him about recording ideas before the concert, and he said he had no ideas. It's proabbly copyright nonsense no sensible human being cares about, but maybe he could use his Italian charm. I'm sure JW wouldn't mind us having the Milan concert.
