> http://www.denouementrecords.com <Denouement Records released his trumpet concerto, recorded with Arturo Sandoval and the London Symphony Orchestra, along with a 10-minute piece for strings, and other works by Kevin Iforgothisfamilyname (Kevin Kaska I think).
The trumpet concerto is much closer to his film music that his other concert works.> http://www.asv.co.uk <
ASV released one of his other concertos, I think it was the Horn Concerto, conducted by David Snell (the Rachel Portman conductor).I'll admit that I don't like any of Williams' concert works except the trumpet concerto.
Much of the rest of his concert works just strikes me as boring and pointless noise meandering around for no reason whatsoever.
But I guess I'm a minority. posted 02-22-2003 08:32 AM PT (US) Hector J. Guzman

I haven't found Five Sacred Trees, but what I listen the most is the Cello Concerto, I love it. The other one I love is Heartwood, but reminds me of sad stuff, so I hardly play it.NP. Williams American Collection Theme

If you can find it, Varese Sarabande released a wonderful CD with his Violin Concerto and his Flute Concerto. It's out of print.SFT
