JOHN WILLIAMS
Celebrating John Williams
Los Angeles Philharmonic, Gustavo Dudamel
[ Deutsche Grammophon / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Monday 1 April 2019
"This is a big orchestra for a big occasion and the DG engineers capture and blend it in a natural manner, never missing a detail, as borne out by glittering selections from Harry Potter, which are a joy to hear in these elegant, beautifully shaped performances. Dudamel's love of the music and his grip on the form is never in doubt… This is a five-star celebration and a thanksgiving for a composer newly restored to health." (Gramophone)
"Celebrating John Williams is something of a love letter to the composer from the orchestra and its conductor Gustavo Dudamel, who is himself now a friend and collaborator…From his 1984 Olympic Fanfare and Theme to the Superman March, it's a winning selection" (BBC Music)
