John Williams and Anne-Sophie Mutter

Legendary maestro John Williams has teamed once again with renowned violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter for this premiere of his latest concert work.  The four-movement piece was recorded by the Boston Symphony Orchestra; it's supplemented on the CD release by new recordings of violin-led arrangements of three classic Williams themes: a piece from Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye, and the romantic themes for "Han Solo and The Princess" (as debuted in The Empire Strikes Back) and "Marion's Theme" (from Raiders of the Lost Ark). Also planned is a stand-alone Blu-ray featuring the album in Pure Audio, surround sound and Dolby Atmos, films of the concerto's world premiere at Tanglewood, a 25-minute interview with the composer/conductor and violinist and more. (A web-exclusive 10" of the film themes from the CD will also be available.)
