+Kramer1701 I know!!! I've been a fan of Gustavo for quite a while and I freaked out when I read about that he would be conducting the opening and closing themes for the movie :-)
Gustavo still struggles with the English language, but what the Hell that's part of his charm. One of the finest conductors to come along in several decades.
+BostonRedSoxForever Agreed, they say you shouldn't meet your heroes. I have full faith that if I ever met John Williams, he would be just like we all hope he would be.
sgtpepper1138 Well, I don't know about that. Perhaps if you got to know him over an extended period of time then yes. But it's a risk that can happen with any celebrity where you might meet John Williams one day when he's having a bad day, and maybe he talks aggressively to you then, but he obviously doesn't mean it and you just caught him on one of his bad days. But then that memory sticks with you and you might hold Williams with contempt for that one incident, even if you know the reality of the situation. So I don't know. I would LOVE to meet John Williams in person, too. But I don't want to risk having a bad meeting.
+Goblan This interview should have been done by Michael Tilson Thomas or Keith Lockhart, Gustavo is a spectacle, he is a Venezuelan oil purchase, that is a PR product, he really made the interview difficult to watch because John Williams is kind in that he really was interviewing himself helping Gustavo in every way, Gustavo is not knowledgeable and did no preparation for this American treasure. Debbie Borda do the interviews, or your ponzi scheme will be exposed. This was hard to watch.
to see Gustavo just listen as much as possible, like he knows how fortunate he is to literally be next to a genius of our time- as if you could go back in time to any great baroque , classical or romantic composer, but you don't have to. your 2 feet from a great composer, right now!! and he knows it, and I love that he just takes it all in. both these guys are amazing. I especially love that Gustavo stands and bows with the orchestra- not by himself, ever- because he knows he's not better than them, and that the performance isn't there without them. he's so humble. and the passion! oh man. his hair conducts more than his hands!
It's so beautiful as John talks about the gift of music and that it's their life the Force Theme plays in the background. John Williams indeed is the Force.
Muchas gracias Maestro Dudamel por ampliar mi conocimiento sobre las influencias que tuvo el Maestro Williams especialmente del gran compositor de bandas sonoras Alfred Newman. Esto ha sido para mi de gran valor para el acervo cultural en general y al musical en específico. Es un privilegio vivir en la misma época de grandes músicos como usted y el grande John Williams. Saludos desde Costa Rica
Cuando Spielberg le mostró la película a Williams, él quedó tan shockeado que dijo que buscara otro compositor. Spielberg le respondió que no podía, ya que todos ya habían fallecido. El tema de violin ejecutada por Perlman es conmovedora, y en mi caso, como nieta y sobrina de asesinados en esa época nefasta de la humanidad, cada vez que la escucho se me caen las lágrimas
Fascinating. I first became aware of Alfred Newman as the composer of the perfect Cathy's Theme from 1939 Wuthering Heights. Also, that John Williams likes swashbuckler movies! My Dad introduced me to Robin Hood with it's classic Korngold score and also Flynn in Captain Blood. The greatest fencing match ever onscreen would be Zorro's Tyrone Power vs. Basil Rathbone- and that score also was by Alfred Newman. Then The Black Swan...
martha jane Seriously? Gustavo Dudamel is one of the greatest composers alive, and was hand picked by Williams for the "John Williams Celebration". It has nothing to do with "PC" anything, you fucking idiot.
Gustavo Dudamel has conducted Williams music a lot. He's the conductor of the LA Philharmonic. He may not have the greatest grasp of English but Williams is a real hero of Dudamel's. You can tell the joy Dudamel has while talking to him.
Never tire of Jon Williams creations interpreted by Gustavo.❤❤❤
is anyone else in love with john's voice he has a pleasant voice very calming and wise
A legendary Maestro being interviewed by a young Maestro. This is precious.
and now we come to find out that Gustavo performed the opening and closing to The Force Awakens. beautiful!

I know I really shouldn't be saying this, but I'm going to be so heart broken the day John Williams leaves us.
When he dies, I will die with him.
I agree.
Yeah its amazing the people that feel like this. Maybe his death will be the greatest loss to the world for this century and the last.
LetsGetHighOnMorris I'm sure that so many of us will. He isn't just a great musician and composer. He's a really nice guy too.
these gentlemen have got to be a couple of the best people on the planet
What a great personality John Williams is. So humble and friendly.
+BostonRedSoxForever And people have the audacity to label him a plagiarist. Sad, I think.

I love John Williams. A musical genius and such a warm friendly man. We are so privileged to have the Mozart of our times still with us.
It's a pleasure to see Maestro Williams in such good shape.

Yes thank you, now your turn.
+Goblan Hope he lives forever! One of the musical geniuses of our time!
(Yes, I know that's not possible D: )
+martha jane Or maybe he was trying to listen to Williams. John seems to be Gustavo's hero; a modern day Mozart.
I just LOVE this man! His was the very first film-music I start to hear in my childhood. God bless you, Johnny!
How poorer the world be without John Williams and his music!

I can listen to John Williams speak all day. Such an articulate and gentle person.
i love them both
I love this interview and the respect that gushes out for each other. Truly a gem of interaction in the musical world
Grandes maestros, John Williams y Gustavo Dudamel. La historia de la musica clasica y la nueva generación.
It's so beautiful as John talks about the gift of music and that it's their life the Force Theme plays in the background. John Williams indeed is the Force.
He speaks with a gentle and quiet intelligence. Kind of like Yoda xD
I love both of them
Excelentes comentarios de grandes maestros de la música.
John Williams: GENIUS.

Eles se completam!!!! São maravilhosos!!!!!
I love John Williams, he's my favorite composer!!!
John Williams is one of the best ever ❤
Estuve en la grabacion de un concierto para tv. Que privilegio
Two heroes of mine.
Such a humble man
The last reel musical sequence from "ET" is my personal favorite JW score.
THAT, is the greatest composer that has ever lived.
A most engaging interview.
magical John Williams
a living legend.
Perfect...
JW is a GOD and he is so kind, intelligent, humble and interesting.
If there ever was a true musical genius, it's John Williams.
I was wondering what is the name behind the list for this Israeli man saving Palestinians lives.My best wishes John you are great man.
Nice interview! Bit short though.
Williams' writing for Perlman and Schindler's List is some of the most evocative and moving music ever penned.

(13:20) Williams speaks of the love affair with the orchestra.

4:28 He nailed it with Harry Potter.
He was great in Jurassic Park --- in his white suit and hat.
OMG he is a genius a God.
I sow him in boston. Great
Lol at 13:27 the force theme is perfect. "It's a precious gift to us...that we have learned to manipulate...it's our life"
💋💋💋
That guy on the left is just there to nod his head. Bravo!
😆😅
Dudamel is SUCH a non-entity.
Not sure what you mean
😮What do You mean by that?
John Williams deserved a credible interviewer, but like hollyweird they have to be PC and this is what you get. Really Borda?
martha jane Seriously? Gustavo Dudamel is one of the greatest composers alive, and was hand picked by Williams for the "John Williams Celebration". It has nothing to do with "PC" anything, you fucking idiot.

Unless he composes something that I don't know of.
@@Phobos_Anomaly Bravo!
