As a conductor, too, Williams stood out as one who knew both what he wanted and exactly how to get it. It\u2019s a shame he couldn\u2019t stay a little longer and conduct Mozart, Beethoven, or Stravinsky. &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/entertainment\/2022\/11\/film-music-legend-john-williams-leads-cleveland-orchestra-in-an-enchanting-evening-of-classics-at-severance-music-center.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>JWFAN REVIEWS<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concert review by <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/index.php?\/profile\/3280-rpvee\/\"><strong>rpvee<\/strong>:<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wonderful evening!! Williams remarked that while he doesn\u2019t do <em>Born on the Fourth of July<\/em> often, he wanted to hear the Cleveland Orchestra do it, especially Michael Sachs. He also ended the evening by coming out one more time after the iconic \u201csleepy hands\u201d to say good night and that if the audience kept being so nice to him, he\u2019d have to live to be 100!<\/p>\n<p>Really strong performances. Helena\u2019s Theme is even more beautiful live, and hearing Obi-Wan live again (this time prepared for it and not crying from a surprise appearance like at Celebration earlier this year) was fantastic. Sabrina\u2019s Theme is also always so gorgeous and a strong inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Encores were Yoda\u2019s Theme, Raiders March (<em>not<\/em> the abbreviated version &#8211; Marion\u2019s Theme was intact!), and Imperial March.<\/p>\n<p>This was my 23rd time seeing Williams conduct live, and my last one of the year. Until next time, Maestro!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concert review by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/index.php?\/profile\/3292-andy\/&amp;wr=eyJhcHAiOiJmb3J1bXMiLCJtb2R1bGUiOiJmb3J1bXMtY29tbWVudCIsImlkXzEiOjMxMjA5LCJpZF8yIjoxOTIxNzE3fQ==\">Andy<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was my 4th time seeing the Maestro, and my what a show! The Scherzo for X-Wings kicked off a terrific <em>Star Wars<\/em> suite to end the program. It never occurred to me, but it really was a perfect quasi-overture to SW, and a more exciting and unusual way to introduce Luke\u2019s theme to the program.<\/p>\n<p>Haven\u2019t heard <em>Superman<\/em> performed live in quite some time. That really got the audience going it seemed.<\/p>\n<p>Amazing the way Michael Sachs\u2019 solo trumpet could fill the entire hall with such steady purity. Just gorgeous.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still pinching myself that I got to hear both Obi-Wan and Helena, the latter of which nicely complimented <em>Sabrina<\/em> with its romantic Old Hollywood sound. So yeah, my heart found it\u2019s way up to my throat several times, but maybe it was \u201cYoda\u2019s Little Theme\u201d that really got me in the feels. And yet it\u2019s Sabrina that is now on repeat in my head.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting comment preceding <em>E.T.<\/em> We now know where Johnny stands on Spielberg\u2019s oeuvre. \u201cI think <em>E.T.<\/em> Is Steven\u2019s Masterpiece. He\u2019s made so many great films like <em>Schindler\u2019s List<\/em> and <em>Saving Private Ryan<\/em>. But those performances by the children are really something special. \u201cI agree, Maestro. He\u2019s a dreamer like me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PHOTOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022-560x373.webp 560w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022-260x173.webp 260w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-Cleveland2022-160x107.webp 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/entertainment\/2022\/11\/film-music-legend-john-williams-leads-cleveland-orchestra-in-an-enchanting-evening-of-classics-at-severance-music-center.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cleveland.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/20221113_231512.jpg.fd1de22f3e91d62d595fb2db84aaeb4e.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnthonyDiPiero7\/status\/1591883601393876992\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnthonyDiPiero7\/status\/1591883601393876992\/photo\/1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/20221113_231546.jpg.3d0bfc2691db81b837d3fa7734823fbd.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JimmyDPhotos\/status\/1591900097285165056\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/JimmyDPhotos\/status\/1591900097285165056\/photo\/1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/Screenshot_20221113_231629.jpg.826022231928d707d48d490c8f7be5e6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ck6k4ngPJTV\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ck6k4ngPJTV\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FhfWf1lXwAAGzNT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FhfWf1lXwAAGzNT.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FhfWf1lXwAAGzNT-300x282.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FhfWf1lXwAAGzNT-560x526.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FhfWf1lXwAAGzNT-260x244.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FhfWf1lXwAAGzNT-160x150.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joannaheather\/status\/1591976837495885824\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/joannaheather\/status\/1591976837495885824\/photo\/1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photos by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/index.php?\/profile\/3280-rpvee\/\">prvee<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/F6D15CCA-0DA6-4A0E-A41A-421DA58E3226.jpeg.412720357f98feefe50683c55333cd17.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/E05705BB-D9BB-47E3-9E70-D2E10950E382.jpeg.24569de4f509b3aabec7db66406a1ee4.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/0B82A909-7AA1-4173-9435-26E18DC070C1.jpeg.09948ccc95b4f049509bb31466846bf6.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jwfan.com\/forums\/uploads\/monthly_2022_11\/C7FE0BDB-DF18-4938-B407-3F09454F336D.jpeg.9850bde0255fc6b41643c2e3db67c65c.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>VIDEOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dskfqOO5DZg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Adventures on Earth&#8217; Finale from <em>E.T.
