Legendary American film composer John Williams conducted the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time a few months before his 90th birthday. It was "one of those great evenings," headlined the Tagesspiegel. Whether Star Wars, Harry Potter or Indiana Jones - the symphonic Hollywood sounds on the stage of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra thrilled the audience from the first note.
The album "John Williams - The Berlin Concert" celebrates "arguably the greatest soundtrack composer of all time" (Rolling Stone) and captures the impressive energy of this unique concert - played by one of the best orchestras in the world. Under Williams' direction, the musicians imbue the thrilling selection of his scores with a masterful beauty of sound and extraordinary intensity. "John Williams doesn't need the movies, the movies need him," Rolling Stone wrote after the concert. The album features music from Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Superman and, of course, Star Wars, among others.
