John Williams in Vienna, the legendary composer’s chart-topping new album with the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, has become the best-selling orchestral album of 2020. Now, a new Live Edition, containing the complete concert performance given by Williams and the orchestra last January, also including six bonus tracks, featuring a selection of his new arrangements of some of his most iconic movie themes for violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, together with his on-stage commentary about each of the soundtrack scores in his Vienna programme, is released on DG.
The double‑CD is set for release on 5 February 2021, to coincide with Williams’ 89th birthday three days later and is available for pre-order now.
