John Williams’ score for “Star Wars” was recorded over eight sessions at Anvil Studios in Denham, England on March 5, 8–12, 15 and 16, 1977. The score was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra with Williams himself conducting. The score was orchestrated by Williams’s frequent associate Herbert W. Spencer, who also orchestrated The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The score was recorded by engineer Eric Tomlinson and edited by Kenneth Wannberg, and the scoring sessions were produced by Star Wars director George Lucas and supervised by Lionel Newman, head of 20th Century Fox’s music department.

On June 12, 1981, America met Indiana Jones when George Lucas and Steven Spielberg brought Raiders of the Lost Ark to theaters. If George Lucas were to say that he could make terrific entertainment out of Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book, at this point I’d be inclined to believe him – this point being just a few hours after seeing his Raiders of the Lost Ark. And if he wanted to bring along Steven Spielberg to direct, I’d believe him even more.

Itzhak Perlman, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, John Williams – Cinema Serenade (1997) [Reissue 2015] SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Itzhak Perlman, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, John Williams – Cinema Serenade (1997) [Reissue 2015]
PS3 Rip | SACD ISO | DST64 2.0 > 1-bit/2.8224 MHz | 53:32 minutes | Scans included | 777 MB
or FLAC(converted with foobar2000 to tracks) 24bit/44,1 kHz | Full Scans included | 514 MB

Cinema Serenade came to be as a result of the 1992 collaboration of the world’s premier film composer, John Williams, with one of the world’s finest violinists, Itzhak Perlman, on the score for Steven Spielberg’s Holocaust epic Schindler’s List. The duo reunited to create a collection of excerpts from a variety of different film scores presented in new arrangements that are centered around Perlman’s violin. Williams arranged most of the numbers and conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The selections are a strange hodgepodge culled haphazardly from some 50 years of film history. As you might expect, the theme from Schindler’s List is included. And it’s not surprising to find Oscar honored scores like Out of Africa (John Barry) or Il Postino (Luis Bacalov), The Age of Innocence (Elmer Bernstein) and The Color Purple (Quincy Jones, Jeremy Lubbock, Rodney Templeton, Jeff Rosenbaum). But some of the other selections are less predictable. There are songs from musical comedies (“Papa Can You Hear From Me?” from Yentl, “I Will Wait for You” from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). There is a Carlos Gardel tango that was used briefly in Scent of a Woman, but was not composed for a film. Most rewardingly, there are some memorable musical selections from the oft-neglected realm of foreign film. In addition to Bacalov’s theme from Il Postino, a beautifully sentimental melody with tango-like flourishes, there are excerpts from Luis Bonfa’s Black Orpheus, Andrea Morricone’s Cinema Paradiso, and Andre Previn’s Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Perlman’s gorgeous solos add breadth and scope to nearly all of the compositions, demonstrating that they work as well in the concert hall as they did in the movie theater. The only real lightweight pieces included were both composed by Williams himself. Far and Away and Sabrina are hardly the brightest points in Williams’ career; the scores were nearly as forgettable as the films themselves. (The latter did receive an Oscar nomination for best musical or comedy score, but it never would have been selected if anyone else had written it.) But fans of film music will generally be pleased by this collection, and in some cases may prefer the Perlman versions to the originals.

For the 2014/15 Opening Night Concert and Gala, the Los Angeles Philharmonic paid loving tribute to composer John Williams, one of the most popular and successful American composers of the modern age and long a champion and close friend of the orchestra.

The concert features Itzhak Perlman with a very special musical performance of pieces from Schindler’s List as well as the cadenza and variations from Fiddler On The Roof. Jazz elements fill the air during Escapades from Catch Me If You Can, and may the force be with you during the iconic tunes from Star Wars.
