Years ago (time goes by...) I had the great chance to be there at the European première here in little Belgium. In the Sportpaleis in Antwerp I had one of the most wonderfull nights of my life - Howard Shore conducted himself which made it even better! So far the best performance I have ever experienced. Being an active musician/producer myself, and owner of a rather huge collection of filmmusic, I can safely promise that it's a very unique show.
For a long time I've been waiting for the show to return to Belgium, but so far there haven't been even rumours. I try to ease the pain with the DVD that came with the RotK Collector's Box - but compared to what I saw in Antwerp I was not impressed with. Those Canadians did a fine job, don't get me wrong, but the total performance was somehow better in Antwerp. Howard Shore himself would probably agree with me...
Howard Shore, about his score for 'The Aviator' wrote:
While I was composing this music I was also at one point rehearsing for a concert with the Flemish Radio Orchestra. I thought that the sound of this particular orchestra in their rehearsal hall (on old cinema in Leuven) was a good match for the composition to express the period of this film.
Plus, the DVD did not contain the full show. So, please come back to Belgium.
