By the  way, does anyone know Williams' concert oeuvre. His concertos,   
etc.
Might not be someone's cup tea. What does that  prove?


i have a familiarity with some of them.  I dislike his violin  concerto, I 
like his tuba concerto, I don't recall his flute conerto; there was  a piece 
Stan Kenton conducted for an obscure recording back in the 60s, the name  of 
which I forget but I vaguely recall enjoying it.  His works adapted from  film  
scores are, in my opinion, pretty good.  Incidentally, it could  be that 
Williams himself conducted the first public concert performance of the  Cowboy 
overture with the Burbank Symphony back in the day before Jaws and around  the time 
of Jane Eyre which may also have been on the program.
