WILLIAMS-Johnstone – Concert Duo Fantasy based on the main theme to “Schindler’s List” – TWO CELLOS

Other Identification:
Schindler’s List is a 1993 American epic historical drama film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Steven Zaillian. It is based on the historical novel Schindler’s Ark (1982) by Thomas Keneally.
Ideas for a film about the Schindlerjuden (Schindler Jews) were proposed as early as 1963. Poldek Pfefferberg, one of the Schindlerjuden, made it his life’s mission to tell Schindler’s story.
John Williams, who frequently collaborates with Spielberg, composed the score for Schindler’s List. The composer was amazed by the film, and felt it would be just too challenging. He said to Spielberg “You need a better composer than I am for this film.” Spielberg responded, “I know. But they’re all dead!”
Itzhak Perlman performs the theme on the violin.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
