Jeshopk 8 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I once read a Michael Kamen interview in which he said that hearing Williams showed him how fun and exciting orchestral film music could be (or something to that effect.)It was actually an interview on a poster in the Berklee Film Scoring department in Boston. Maybe someone knows a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,251 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Never read about Kamen on Williams, but in the late 80's, i believe it was in 1987, Williams invited Kamen to conduct a few shows with the Boston Pops, which he did.

jw2285gd 0 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 you know, he really was a good guy, he was a great composer. :cry: but i am looking at the positive of this, he wrote great music and contributed greatly to the world of music. god bless him and hopefully he is in a better place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Salt Lake City Olympics last year? I have the opening cerimonies show, and Williams plays his own piece, Call of the Champions, on that one.

Morlock 11 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Kamen had just signed on to Forrest Whitacker's (totaly wrong spelling) new romantic comedy. I also heard rumors that he was possibly gonna sign on to I Robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Fellow MovieMusic member Ed said he had the good fortune of watching Kamen conduct the Boston Pops in the early 90s:I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Kamen conduct the Boston Pops orchestra in a Father's Day 1992 afternoon of film scores. He led the orchestra with great sweeping arm motions that appeared to draw ever-increasing energy and passion from the orchestra. His rendition of "Darth Vader's Theme" ("For all those out there with teenaged daughters," he quipped) should have been recorded: it was fast and furious and seemed more like a tornado of evil than a sinister march. He also presented a suite from "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves" that surpassed (for me) the soundtrack performance. Most charmingly, he played the Waltz from "Baron Munchausen" - a favorite of mine. He was funny, charming, passionate and intimately connected to his audience. He expended so much energy that he reappeared after the intermission with his hair newly-wet and slicked back against his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Of course it aint that young for, ahem, 'certain things', but marriage it's relatively early, and for a child rapist, it's a sign for things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look we've seen the trailers for this deal and it looks like the standard "struggle for glory" film thats been done dozens of times already.
