John Williams - Live in Vienna: Live Edition (Blu Ray)
$24.95
"It was one of the hottest tickets in town back in January and thankfully DG saw fit to record John Williams in Vienna for those of us who couldn't make it.
The legendary composer described the invitation to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic as one of the great honours of his life, and it seems the honour was very much reciprocated. The fullest and best experience here really is through the Blu-ray release; the warmth and respect for the man and his music in that great golden room is palpable. From the first downbeat, the years appear to fall away as Williams and the Vienna Phil take a trip through some of his most beloved themes." Michael Beek BBC Music Magazine
