    Maybe Williams doesn't need the money to go on a long ass flight to some event in Europe? The dude has the right to do what he wishes. It has nothing to do with the world's borders "ending around the US". But the majority of his films were American productions, which shouldn't be ignored. Williams is pretty much retired and should be able to do what he wishes with his time---it's not like he tours all of America's symphonies---he does the occasional concerts in Boston where he used to be an employee. That's it.


    I bet he took long-ass journeys to Europe dozens of times before, for other reasons; and with today's standards, nothing is "long-ass". Within a day, you're everywhere you wish. The least you can do to pay the slightest of honorary thanks to a large part of the people that elevated you to God status, is to pay them a visit.


    Once upon a time this is exactly what he did, flying in and out of London regularly to record scores and even giving the odd concert here and there but as much as I'd love him to come and do a concert again ( please please PLEASE!!! ) the man has given his all for our pleasure and has more than earned the right to take it easy.


    Couldn't have said it better, Timmer!

    It hasn't been on telly and it seems you can only see it when you're a Belgacom subscriber

    I'm going to see if it is available at buying a copy from their recording, if not it is bloody world war III crazy

    I have two friends who are Belgacom TV subscribers , I'll ask them if they can play and record it for me . I just found it at the Belgacom 'On Request' catalogue . You can choose the HD version or the regular one it seems . To be continued ... I hope ... wink

    I hope you can record it, if you request something now most of the times it is copyrighted so you can't record it, that's the shite around the Telenet movie network (which is pretty stupid considering you pay for the bloody thing)

    anyhoo, keep me posted, I'm going to make a call to the Belgacom helpdesk and ask them if it's possible to get a copy of it, I'll pay gladly for it smile

  9. I think Belgacom will just refuse to give out copies of the concert, even if paid for. They would just say, go and become a Belgacom TV subscriber. angry

    Eric, if you could help us that would totally rock. Thomas is my brother and we both went to see the thing live, but having a recording of it would be simply awesome, as the whole evening was just that...

    We could then send out copies to the whole maintitles gang. punk

  10. On this matter of why john williams doesn't give European concerts, given the US dollar is as weak as it is, I can well understand why money would be no incentive for him to do a concert overseas. As well, many people at Williams' age count every second away from their families as time lost.

  11. I just finally saw the movie Heartbeeps the other day. Good score, but I'm still shocked that John Williams had anything to do with that film during the early 80's.

    Well, he also did MONSIGNOR which if the reviews I've read are anything to go by was utter garbage. I love the score and have avoided the film because of that.

    Well, MONSIGNOR is a 100 times better than HEARTBEEPS. The latter is simply a curious anomaly in Williams' career, at a time where one would normally expect just A list assignments for him.
    I am extremely serious.

    I agree. Monsignor is a decent film with a very nice score by Williams. No need to avoid the film like the plague. But Heartbeeps...was the director his cousin or something or did he owe someone a favor because that film was just akward. I get what they were trying to do, but it just didn't come off well.

    John Williams has completed his Viola concerto, and begins work on a Harp concerto:

    http://www.variety.com/article/VR111799 … 6&cs=1

    Now in his 77th year, it seems to me that Williams is becoming increasingly aware of his legacy and attempting to fill in the gaps by completing his "cycle" of concertos for virtually every instrument of the orchestra.

    I am so impressed with this man, his recent Duo Concertante for violin and viola (his first published chamber work ever) was a breathtaking masterpiece unlike anything he has ever done before!

    Does anybody else here adore the sneakily evil motif for Panama Hat in The Last Crusade? It's final appearance at the end of The Boat Scene gives me chills. Love it!
