Simone Pedroni - John Williams: Themes and Transcriptions for Piano

Simone Pedroni is a brilliant classical pianist and former Van Cliburn Award-Gold Medal winner. John Williams is the best-selling film composer of our time. Both Williams and Pedroni each transcribed about half of the material on this album, which premieres Williams' own piano suites from Lincoln, and The Book Thief, plus Pedronis own special transcriptions of music from Harry Potter, Star Wars, Schindlers List and more. The album is a stunning and unique presentation of John Williams film music, without the usual symphony orchestra. It runs a very long 80 minutes.
