John Williams – John Williams In Concert (180g Vinyl 7LP Box Set)

John Williams’ In Concert on 180g 7LP Box Set. Features Butterfly Fan Packaging, a Booklet of Original Liner Notes; a New Essay and a Selection of Concert and Portrait Photos.

In recent years, Deutsche Grammophon has captured a series of very special concerts at which the legendary John Williams has conducted selections of his own music with some of the world’s greatest orchestras. The Yellow Label is now issuing a unique collection of its recordings with the Hollywood icon. John Williams in Concert brings together performances of film music from the Saito Kinen Orchestra, Berliner Philharmoniker and Wiener Philharmoniker, as well as the world premiere recording of Williams’s Second Violin Concerto, with soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Stylishly designed, the 7-LP vinyl boxset in butterfly fan packaging, includes a booklet featuring the original album liner notes; a new essay about Williams by renowned film-music writer Jon Burlingame; recollections from Williams himself, Anne-Sophie Mutter and some of the other musicians involved in these recordings; and a selection of concert and portrait photos.

“The invitation to conduct those orchestras is probably one of the highest accolades any musician could receive… I am so happy to have been well enough and around long enough to accept invitations like that, and I hope I can revisit them at some time in the future” – John Williams
