Happened to me on the way here... i went to John Williams: A Legacy in Sound... and i read the only review there and it's talking about how it's NOT a documentary and it sucks and there's hardly any MUsic... and with each comment my dropping lower and lower... because i had just finished it and thought, 'well YEAH! It not REALly a documentary and sure, the maestro doesn't start the concert off(i kept thinking, is that REALly John Williams??? WtF is going ON? When did he lost 25 years and grow his HAIR long...in FACT, where did he get that hair FROM, cuz it's REAL... and then that guy left to be replaced by the man, Hisself...in my opinion, one of the great composers of our time, be it as it may film music. Still. Great music is a blessing to the Universe, much less most animals...one of THE great achievements of humans...if we're being observed by species trying to determine whether we're worth the property, THAT's what probably saved us...HELL! Just listened to the music from 'close encounters'! How did they comMUnicate?!!? EXACTly...i rest my violin case, yer honor... if you like the man's music, marvel at all the instruments he wrote each piece for... the nuance...the way that each piece fits the story perfectly...this guy and hans zimmer, though there are a NUMber of other great film composers...but these two have conSIStently blown me away...so. It starts off a bit slow, imo, but as soon as John takes the stage? Off we go...enjoy.
