Producer Mike Matessino returns to discuss the soundtrack reissues of three classic John Williams/Steven Spielberg collaborations, reflecting on the significance of such a unique relationship between composer and  director. Hosted by Maurizio Caschetto and Tim Burden The collaboration between John Williams and Steven Spielberg is by far the longest and most successful artistic relationship between a director and a composer in the history of cinema. The duo is synonymous of what means having a fruitful, honest and profound association between two people making films together. Calendar year 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the very first encounter between Spielberg and Williams, which happened when the director was in preparation of his first feature film, The Sugarland Express; after being impressed by Williams' work for such films as The Reivers and The Cowboys, the director decided he was the type of composer he was looking for. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. The Spielberg/Williams collaboration spans now six decades, 29 feature films (including the upcoming The Fabelmans, which will premiere at the 47th edition of the Toronto Film Festival in September) and several special projects, so it's virtually impossible to sum it up in a few words. Their roster includes some of the most successful and everlasting movies in the history of cinema: Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, but also such highly acclaimed dramas as Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Munich and Lincoln. Soundtrack label La-La Land Records has recently reissued three classic John Williams scores from the Spielberg canon: Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Soundtrack Producer Mike Matessino returns to The Legacy of John Williams podcast to offer commentary on these three classic Spielberg/Williams collaborations, while also offering an in-depth overall reflection on the partnership between the composer and the director.

Matessino also discusses the reasoning behind the choice of reintroducing music that was originally dialed out or cut from the film's original theatrical release and the many technical challenges of the live-to-picture format. John Williams' Superman In Concert is having its world premiere on April 29, 2022 at the KKL in Lucerne, Switzerland, performed by the City Light Symphony Orchestra conducted by Anthony Gabriele. The event is presented by City Light Concerts in association with Film Concerts Live and Warner Bros. Pictures.

The massive 3-disc set released by La-La Land Records was the subject of an in-depth talk and feature article published last December, and now Soundtrack Producer Mike Matessino returns to offer more eloquent thoughts and insights about the 1971 classic film by Norman Jewison, its Academy Award-winning adaptation score by John Williams, and the painstaking restoration work he went through to bring new life to the original soundtrack recordings. This second act of the Fiddler On The Roof podcast special is also enriched by the presence of a very welcome special guest. Leading Broadway Music Director and Conductor Andy Einhorn joins to talk about a truly unique and very special initative: the presentation of a lightly-staged production of Fiddler On The Roof featuring the world premiere concert performance of John Williams' Oscar-winning orchestrations, a project spearheaded by the UMS in collaboration with The Philadelphia Orchestra and the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance/Department of Musical Theatre. During the conversation, Einhorn reflects on the various reasons why this project holds a special place in his career, the challenges he faced to put it together and the thrill of hearing Williams' sumptuous orchestrations performed live for the first time in 50 years, talking also about the details and nuances hidden in the score. He and Mike Matessino offer precious insight on the timelessness of Fiddler On The Roof and its relevance for today's audiences also in light of the tragic recent events happening in the same region in which the original story takes place, i.e. the small Ukraine village of Anatevka.

Soundtrack Producer Mike Matessino presents Intrada Records' new 2-disc expanded edition of John Williams' score for Clint Eastwood's alpine thriller, featuring the world premiere release of the original film recording and a remastered version of the 1975 soundtrack album Hosted by Maurizio Caschetto and Tim Burden The restoration of Maestro John Williams' rich filmography adds another pivotal item to its ongoing process of “future proofing”. Intrada Records has just released a 2-disc expanded edition of one of the Maestro's most interesting and diverse scores of his pre-Jaws era: The Eiger Sanction, written for the 1975 alpine thriller directed by and also starring Clint Eastwood, in his one and only collaboration with the composer. The new release is produced and remastered by Mike Matessino, who continues to be the ultimate guardian of John Williams' film score presentations through his universally admired painstaking methodology of soundtrack restoration, preserving the Maestro's work for all future generations in the best and most accurate way. The original soundtrack album issued on MCA Records at the time of the film's theatrical release was a re-recording where Williams selected cues from the score expanding and repurposing them for a more cohesive listening experience. The brand-new 2-CD release by Intrada Records presents both a remastered version of the 1975 MCA soundtrack album and the premiere release of the original film recording, featuring a great deal of unreleased music, including never-before-heard material that was written and recorded for a longer cut of the film. All the material has been painstakingly restored and remastered by Mike Matessino. The end product is a wonderful musical journey that puts a well-deserved spotlight on one of John Williams' lesser-known yet most fascinating and diverse scores to be found in his long and rich filmography.  In this conversation, Mike Matessino returns to The Legacy of John Williams podcast to present this new 2-disc expanded edition of John Williams' score for Clint Eastwood's alpine thriller, spotlighting and documenting his own unique restoration work while offering thoughts and insights on the Maestro's music for the film.

Exclusive video podcast with soundtrack record producer Mike Matessino discussing his restoration work on John Williams's thrilling score for the sci-fi classic directed by Steven Spielberg in 2005 Hosted by Maurizio Caschetto and Tim Burden Steven Spielberg's big-budget adaptation of the sci-fi classic novel by H.G. Wells War of the Worlds marked the 22nd collaboration between the esteemed director and composer John Williams. The film turned out to be a very unique and perhaps even personal project for the director, who took the opportunity to craft a grim moral tale disguised as an action-packed sci-fi drama. The movie presented a unique challenge for composer John Williams. The music accompanies the drama with his usual skillfull dramatic sensibility, giving the film's action sequences its necessary propulsive energy, but at the same time avoiding any kind of leeway to conventional scoring. Instead the music enhances the dark, grim tone of the film through violent Herrmann-esque orchestral colors (12 horns, 2 tubas, 5 trombones, 2 sets of timpani playing antiphonally), unstable harmonic language and an overall tone of fragilty and uncertainty.  The new remastered edition released by soundtrack specialty label Intrada Records has been meticolously restored and produced by Mike Matessino, who worked from the original audio elements to rebuild from scratch the mixes and all the performance edits. The new release is spreaded on two CDs--Disc 1 presents the complete 80-minutes film score with all the cues in chronological order as they appear in the film (including unreleased and extended material), while Disc 2 offers the remastered original soundtrack album, plus a slew of alternate cues that reveal Williams' meticolous creative process for the film. In this conversation with The Legacy of John Williams, Mike Matessino offers his deep thoughts about how this new release of War of the Worlds came about, how the perception on the film and some of its most controversial aspects changed throughout the years and became even more relevant in today's world, the role of the music within the film and how the new edition was meticolously assembled and produced.

On today program, it’s CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO’s 2018 Christmas Special… and this show is indeed ‘special.’ During this past year, CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO has introduced to you not one, not two but THREE brand new themed programs with three brand new hosts. BREAKING THE WAVES, which is CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO’s all electronic/synth program, made its debut back in August with host Brandon-Shea Mutala. CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO’s all orchestral video game show, THE 1UPBEAT debuted back in October with host Eric Silver. And in November, Randy Andrews joined the team with THE ANIME SPECTACULAR. Of course, Jason Drury of THE ARCHIVE and Robert Daniels of OBSCURE SCORES kept this network alive during my lengthy hiatus in the middle of the year with their fantastic programs. And let’s not forget the contributions of Tim Burden; his interview with Mike Matessino was enlightening and his voice is heard introducing each and every episode of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO. And last, but not least, CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO’s in-house composer, David Coscina, continues to astound and inspire with every new piece he writes. Unfortunately, Tim and David were unable to contribute to today’s program. So, instead of me hogging the spotlight this year, I thought it would give every one of my other hosts a segment on this years program. On the show today you are going to hear a variety of Christmas themed music including SANTA & CIE, WOLF CHILDREN, SNOWTOPIA: A VIDEO GAME HOLIDAY TRIBUTE, X-FILES, MILLENNIUM, THE REF, and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. Enjoy the program… and behalf of everyone here at CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! —— Cinematic Sound Radio Web: http://www.cinematicsound.net Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/cinsoundradio Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/cinematicsound WROCK Radio http://www.wrockradio.com Movie Scores and More Radio http://www.moviescoreradio.com Cinematic Sound Radio Fanfare and Theme by David Coscina https://soundcloud.com/user-970634922 Bumper voice artist: Tim Burden http://www.timburden.com

Future Proofing the Music of John Williams In late November 2017, Mike Matessino was over in London to work on forthcoming John Williams expanded scores (which La La Land have recently hinted at), in addition to hosting a Q&A with Leslie Bricusse. Not Williams related, but the premiere of a new 4K 50th Anniversary remaster of Dr. Dolittle. You can experience this brilliant Q&A with Mike and Leslie in this month’s edition of FSM Online (http://www.FSMOnlinemag.com). As a side note, I did have a chance to speak with Leslie briefly about his clever re-wording of JW’s ‘Can You Read My Mind’ for the Boston Pops tribute to Williams when he stepped down to allow Keith Lockhart take the baton: “An extraordinary honour and I relished the opportunity. Seeing John’s expression when he heard the singers proclaim ‘Johnny T’ was priceless” Leslie told me. The fact that this discussion took place when he asked me where the Gents toilets were in London’s Picturehouse Central cinema makes it all the more surreal. Anyway, I digress. I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Mike Matessino in the city where so many of our favourite scores were recorded and after lunch, we took a trip to Air-Edel studios. On a typically cold and crisp winter’s day (Mike is used to this as a New Yorker!), we were warmly welcomed by Maggie Rodford and her team and we subsequently spent 3 hours talking about Mike’s work. Primarily his assignments for John Williams and the recent releases of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. You’ll also hear a bit of Star Wars, Star Trek and Superman too. Thanks to Tom Bullen, Trevor Best & Maggie Rodford.
