King Mark 3,811 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 It would be great if someone could get the radio broadcast.Chances like these are rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 We're missing a lot of concerts. Searching for today's world premiere non-existent broadcast, I found out that some radios have broadcast last wednesday's Williams concert in Tanglewood, and will do the same next August 25.Check this out: http://www.wmnr.org/Prog_Guide/2007/prog_aug2007.htmThey've got good quality stream.

King Mark 3,811 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well anyways,we've accumulated good recordings of most of the PS children suite and PoA concert versions.It would be nice to have a better sounding recording of 'Voldermort' and and one of 'The Sorcerer's Stone',and Diagon Alley with the bombastic ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 I just want more and more concerts of JW, no matter what he's playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshopk 8 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well, esplanade concerts sound pretty bad. I'd love to go, but you're basically hearing it on AM radio over crappy speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I tuned it for this concert on Wednesday, but the station wasn't airing it. I sent an inquiry about this to WCRB, and got this:We don’t broadcast the Hatch Shell concerts….but we DO broadcast the BSO & Pops at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood.So I guess this was some kind of misunderstanding. But they should be broadcasting the Tanglewood concert this Saturday, which also has a Harry Potter suite, as will WMNR as reported on the main page.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yeah, I was waiting for the concert also. They put some Mozart and Chopin instead. Hope we all can record tomorrow's Pops concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 As long as we're hoping, let's also hope for the "mythic" (as KM put it) PoA version of "Harry's Wondrous World" that supposedly exists! Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 I've made a more thorough research, and WMNR states that "Live Tanglewood broadcasts cannot be heard on the internet..".So WCRB is our only hope now for people not in Boston.

King Mark 3,811 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Of course,they wouldn't want us pirates listening to unreleased HP music at our leisure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 It's a grand suite. It covers actually the whole 2nd part of the concert.Hedwig's ThemeAunt Marge's WaltzDiagon AlleyThe Knight BusNimbus 2000QuidditchFawkes the PhoenixThe Chamber of SecretsA Bridge to the PastHarry's Wondrous WorldOnly thing I'm afraid of is this "and a Grand Suite from "Harry Potter" accompanied by a special montage from the Potter films." that might suggest disturbing sound F/X along with the music...Anyway, I hope this gets broadcast tonight!

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Whoa, that's a lotta Potta'. Although "Double Trouble" is conspicuously missing, and it's still disappointing to see "Buckbeak's Flight" omitted from these programs. Still, no complaints....I'm counting on WCRB, since the guy stated in the e-mail that they broadcast the Tanglewood shows.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Oh, I'm glad you're recording this...I just found out I won't be home for part of the the broadcast, not sure how much (). Thanks!Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,811 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 The concert version of "A Window to the Past."Right now the Prague recording of this piece can be considered the gold standard.I can't find any flaws it.I'm interested in Diagon alley,if it's the full version with orchestral ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Awesome concert! It's always great to hear him live (last time I did was in the Soundings premiere back in 2003...). Some good performances of the BPO.We finally got some themes conducted by John Williams himself (Chamber of Secrets and Fawkes, prominently).I recorded it, flawless except one small "beep" in the end of the first theme of Lean's film Blithe Spirit. Did you guys get to record it well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scissorhands 16 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I sort of fixed that small "beep". So... everyone please feel free to PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,811 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Yay! it's the version of Diagon Alley I wanted.One less concert version to hunt down.also good versions of Quidditch,Nimbus 2000 and Bridge to the PastI am still not clear on how you recorded this or if this Williams conducting.K.M.

scissorhands 16 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 This is Williams conducting the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra. Program notes.http://www.bso.org/images/tanglewood/progr...os/20070825.pdfI recorded it from the WCRB website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob 1 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Awesome concert indeed. And it more or less counts as my first. Williams or otherwise.Wow.And also, call me crazy, but while listening I threw together a cover for scissorhands' recording for my iTunes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Nice cover!The Harry Potter Suite was great...I actually thought the narration was pretty good and tied the pieces together well. I'd never heard that concert version of "Aunt Marge's Waltz" before....I liked the added brass toward the end and the whistle during the climax. Thanks, Peio!Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,811 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Still sounds very compressed.I can't wait for internet radio stations to bump the bitrate of their broadcasts.Do they assume were all on still on dial up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 159 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 And also, call me crazy, but while listening I threw together a cover for scissorhands' recording for my iTunes:You're crazy.

Miguel Andrade 1,463 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I've also done some covers, based on my "live in tanglewood" template. I didn't presented a final cue list, with track numbers, so it can easely be used by everyone who enjoys the covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
