Nice to Be Around: John Williams' 'Live in Vienna' to Get Expanded CD Release

John Williams Live in Vienna Deluxe

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

As legendary film composer John Williams heads toward his 89th birthday in 2021, Deutsche Grammophon is giving fans a present in the form of a new expanded edition of his latest concert release, just three days before his big day.

Released just this past August and noted as 2020's best-selling classical album, John Williams in Vienna presented the five-time Oscar winner leading the Weiner Philharmoniker and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter - the soloist on 2018's Across the Stars collaboration album - from the stage of The Musikverein in Austria, considered one of the world's finest-sounding stages. Anticipation for the shows were considerably high; Williams first planned to make his conducting debut in Vienna in the fall of 2018 before a sudden illness caused him to postpone several European dates.

But the sets proved to be worth the wait: Williams ably led the ensemble through a stirring set of thematic favorites (JAWS, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park) as well as some comparatively deeper cuts featuring Mutter's violin, including themes from Cinderella Liberty, The Witches of Eastwick, and Far and Away.

While the latter portion of a deluxe CD/Blu-ray included six additional performances not on the audio disc, this new "Live Edition" features not only those performances across two CDs, but Williams' own commentary between performances as well. The additional highlights include some of those deep cuts plus fan favorites like "Hedwig's Theme" from the Harry Potter series and "Remembrances" from the Oscar-winning Schindler's List.

The "Live Edition" is available February 5. The full track list is below.
