Just verified in a Variety interview (the excerpt can be read at jwfan.com): Williams used the players from The BFG to record a new CD of Spielberg movie themes, to be released by Sony Classical next year! I couldn't be more excited!

I'm hoping for "Three Pieces from Lincoln" with the terrific concert arrangement of "Getting Out the Vote"

I seem to recall hearing that they recorded some of this album over at ROYCE HALL at UCLA.
Look forward to it myself.

Apparently a 4 CD set available february 10 from Sony Masterworks.
That would be great, but... Is this your wishful thinking or you actually heard it from a reliable source?
If it ends up being 4 CDs of newly recorded material, that would be stunning. But if it is 4 CDs, I think it's more likely that Williams recorded 1 CD of new material and Sony is adding 3 CDs of previously available recordings they have the rights to. But who knows, maybe Williams recorded a lot of stuff over the years that never got released yet? There's the full 3 movement suite from Memoirs of a Geisha with Williams at the piano and Ma on cello that was only released as an mp3. I remember reading MANY years ago that Williams recorded the Seven For Luck song cycle for Sony, and that has never been released, so that could always be included (although not exactly Spielberg related); which is not entirely impossible as the Variations on Happy Birthday took a good 10 years or so to see the light of day on CD. Whatever it is, if it has some newly recorded material, I am there! (I hope for a concert arrangement of the Ark/Medallion theme!)

This is a Spielberg/Williams release, Johnny, so the things you mention there fall outside the scope of that topic.
If it's a 4-CD set (and not confused with the existing Sony 4CD set), my guess is the first two CDs will have the Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of the previous Spielberg/Williams albums, and then the other two new recordings. If that is the case, I have this faint hope that they'll include a suite from A TIMELESS CALL, which is completely unreleased. As is SUGARLAND EXPRESS, of course, but I doubt we're going to see more than the theme from that while Williams is still alive.

Not exactly Thor, Memoirs was produced by Spielberg, so not entirely outside of the realm of possibilities that it could be included.
