Orquesta Sinfónica de Puerto Rico / Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra. Concierto en W.I.P.R. Canal 6/ Concert at W.I.P.R. Channel 6. Roselín Pabón, Director/ Conductor Jurassic Park: (John Williams) With Michael Crichton's fabulously outlandish adventure story, the spectacular digital and live action effects of Industrial Light and Magic, and an odd assortment of entertaining character-actors, Steven Spielberg led the charge of Jurassic Park to immense box office returns that would spawn continued journeys back to the land of the dinosaurs in sequels to come. The qualified success of Jurassic Park, in all its domination of the summer of 1993, somehow managed to leave composer John Williams behind. Despite a score of Herculean scale for Jurassic Park, Williams would overshadow his effort for Isla Nublar by composing Schindler's List later in the same year, a score that not only swept every major award for 1993, but is considered by many film score veterans to be among the most effective single film scores of the modern age. So outstanding was the reception to these two monumental scores that Williams would conduct them in concerts throughout 1994 and take a break from scoring assignments while doing so. Compared to the great action themes that Williams has etched into the minds of mainstream movie-goers through the years, Jurassic Park has become surprisingly anonymous, with its bold identity rarely heard in public performances since the franchise reached its sputtering conclusion at the cinemas many years later. This does not mean, however, that Jurassic Park is no less a score; it was, and will always be, one of John Williams' most impressive masterpieces, despite the tepid criticism of the score that you will likely see from even the most veteran film score reviewers. With Jurassic Park, Williams was given an opportunity to merge nearly every one of his dominant composition styles of the early 1990's (a fantastic era for the composer, by all accounts) into one score. And in the process of rolling all of these styles in to Jurassic Park, he managed to create a score with a magically cohesive core that is extremely potent in the film itself. http://www.myspace.com/davidmercadomorales
