Hollywood legend John Williams conducted the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic for the very first time in a landmark concert of his best-loved movie music in January 2020. Nominated for 52 Oscars, Williams has composed the soundtracks of our lives with his scores for “Jaws”, “Star Wars”, “Indiana Jones”, “Jurassic Park” and many more. For the concert held at Vienna’s Musikverein Williams is joined by violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter for a series of the virtuosic adaptations written specially for her, including “Hedwig's Theme” From “Harry Potter”, continuing an artistic partnership formed last year for Deutsche Grammophon’s album “Across The Stars”. The live recording is available now. Also available in Dolby Atmos®.

#JohnWilliams #AnneSophieMutter #HarryPotter - เพลง
“Without John Williams, bikes don’t really fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches; nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs don’t walk the Earth … You take our movies, many of them about our most impossible dreams, and through your musical genius, you make them real and everlasting for billions and billions of people.”
Steven Spielberg
John you breathe belief!
Indiana Ana Jones as well
So freaking true
his music defined generations! just a few simple notes and you instantly have pictures flying through your head! he IS one of the all time greats
@@ghomerhust Thanks, Josh. I just read a remark of some guy who captured a 🦈 shark over the weekend, and said listening to John William's music for Jaws was Even More terrifying!
OKAY. Can we talk about the childish grin on Johnny boy's face the entire time?! HE'S LOVING THIS. Ah. He just deserves the world.
Pure happiness ;)
Was my first thought when I saw the video.
🧚
He's my favorite American composer. 🤓🤓🤓
John Williams has to return conducting the Vienna Philharmonics - every piece of this concert is a masterpiece 📀⭐
I will show this video to my future kids and say, "He's the real Dumbledore with the wand"
This is mind blowing. I just can't believe how lucky we are to be able to watch this any time we want.
I had the insurmountable pleasure to have attended that LIFE IN the music hall; what a mind-blowing experience.
@@propellix6642 Lucky You my friend! Glad you were able to experience this!
@Scottish Lad Thanks for commenting! Can you please give me a more precise indication of what I should listen to, or maybe even a link to a precise video or part? When I look it up, I find a pretty extensive playlist, not sure what I should listen to. Thanks a lot!
Yes....
So freakin agreed!!!
So basically...
Every single movie I hear the iconic backround music is composed by this legendary man
He is without a doubt the greatest film composer of all time 😎
@@sunnyboi2461 And probably one of the greatest composers of any century. You don't get invited to the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra by being a hack.
It's always either him or Hans Zimmer
Not only! There are James Horner (Titanic), Ennio Morricone (The Good the bad and the ugly) and Vangelis for the first Olympic Games and Conquest of Paradise.
And not just movies. John Williams has done music for the Olympics and the NFL (CBS’s broadcast, I think…it sounds very similar to the Trade Federation march from Phantom Menace)
Unbelievable how he can deconstruct his music and arrange it in ways that only he could. LEGEND.
It’s called orchestration.
He's an absolute genius.
So true. It reminds me what Miklos Rozsa did for The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. He turned a concert piece into movie music. Williams did the opposite here with incredible talent: turning film music into high level concert piece. Outstanding.

What can you say? He's a wizard ;)
I can’t believe it’s been almost nineteen years since the release of the film. I love this piece. I wish Williams had made the music score for all the films.
I guess that this music will survive the film.
I still remember the day I went to see this movie.
The work by Patrick Doyle was definitely commendable, however after that ... ugh.
@@3dbadboy1 Couldn't agree more.
@@3dbadboy1 Totally
That violinist is insane
Yeah, she's incredible
That's Anne Sophie-Mutter for ya
No doubt that she really good, but sometimes she gets a little to fancy
@@Fredkt17 , I have to agree! She should have played this one a bit more humbly and faithfully to the original melodies.
@@jcp1984again most likely this arrangement was by John Williams..... not Mutter. He wanted to re arrange this to a violin show piece
What a cute adorable little girl sitting on her father's lap in the audience. She's so young and this experience for her is pretty amazing. I think I'd be freaking out at that age.
We live in Vienna. We started taking the kids to classical concerts n operas from age 3....they always loved it so much. Lots of kids go. Tickets r cheap for kids too.
I think that taking such a young child to concerts like this is a genuine act of love, and something that will greatly benefit his development. I imagine that little brain getting rich and glowing with every note.
@@MrJosealfonsoperez i also used to go to concerts like this a little child and i also took my lil ones to the vienna state opera house all the time. they loved it, it is a gift for life.
I was one of those little girls. My father took me with him even though I had 3 sisters, and he usually fell asleep. I remembered feeling bored, but I grew up loving music. My daughter took her little boys to the Nutcracker at Christmas every year, like i took her. I made her a pretty new dress each year. I think these traditions mean as much to her as to me.
04:44 that moment when the other strings join her. Wow 😲😌
That he wasn't allowed to finish the series is one of the greatest shames in movie history.
well i like to think that he decided that he did enough for the series and just stepped down. I mean he did basically create the whole leit motif for the whole franchise flawlesly so not much to prove and do for him. 3 films was enough, and the third one being his best and wildest ost of them all i think he did enough
@@MrKubahades prisoner of azkaban is a masterpiece, indeed, both musically and theatrically
Wait…it wasnt a choice?
Not really, sr. Williams master piece was more of a playful, mischievous and childlike approach.
Alexandre desplats approach is more mature, more painful and it fits perfectly with the rapid growing up that the character had to go through. To see their friends and family die and to have to fight a war before being adults. It was perfect!
@@lissethaldana3789 yeah but as you can see with the 3rd Harry Potter film John williams changed the style of the music quite a bit. So Its not like John Williams would'nt have done something fitting for the later HP films. And i think He just stopped composing for the series because he was too busy in 2005.
What came over me while listening to this, with all the harshness of the violin, and the overall darker tone, I really do feel like this is Williams taking the opportunity to show us what it would have sounded like as the series got progressively darker.
Wow. It only just dawned on me that Williams didn't compose for all the films! I would've loved to hear his take on the battle for Hogwarts.
Stop, don't make me cry.
This is such an interesting perspective. Thanks for the food for thought!
@@GoodKingMort Yeah the music got noticeably worse after the 3rd one. They should have just kept John Williams the whole way through.
@@wtfduud he made the decision to leave
So crazy. She nailed the nail...so sharp and brilliant, with such a difficult melody, wild appearing chords and double stops, cadenza...amazing 👏
Should've titled it "Variations on Hedwig's Theme". I wonder if they wrote the violin part together?, as this arrangement is heavily focused on violin techniques.
I've seen in other interview that he wrote the variations for Anne-Sophie.
I think you're right. JW isn't famous for his " absolute" ( non film) music so ASM probably had a large hand in the composition. Tho who knows. He may actually have written a violin concerto?
Rhapsody on Hedwig's Theme more like ....
@@phillipecook3227 indeed he has written quite a lot for violin, including a beautiful violin concerto. I am sure he does not need a helping hand by ASM 😉
th-cam.com/video/28SxLy4kUmE/w-d-xo.html
I like how he wrote this in the later stages of his career. Even though he wrote a lot of great music before, he still had one last memorable movie theme left in him.
Well, he wrote memoirs of a geisha after HP, and it ended up being an amazing and beautiful score. Very underrated and not well known for many people.
Ok, Geisha is beautiful stuff, but I don’t think it’s as catchy as his other music in that you only need a few seconds and then you recognize it or it’s easy to whistle it off the top of your head. You know what I mean?
John Williams is by far one of the best composers of the 21 century and will be well known just as other great composers throughout history. This is the real 21st century of classical
Damn, wish we had the Vienne Philharmonic playing the actual orchestral score. Was waiting to hear a performance similar to the Imperial March
I'm sure they'd be happy to play several different pieces. The last time I saw them I could tell they were bored to tears playing Mozart 39.
Everyone besides Ling Ling would have preferred the original.
I think there is a version of it from Sommernachtskonzert 2017, look it up I think some sort of Sony has published it
Yeah, violin playing melody is too soft you need some parts to be really heavy and strong
Nobody can compose film music quite as masterful as Mr. John Williams. I actually never knew he wrote music for the Harry Potter series, but just searched that he did write music for The Chamber of Secrets. Absolute masterpiece as always, Mr. Williams. And Ms. Anne-Sophie Mutter absolutely killed that violin solo.
He composed music for the first three movies, if I'm not mistaken.
@@GingerZombie29 Yeah he did~~
I just can't stop watching this.
"Harry Potter meets Paganini" -John Williams
A lovely comparison.
I mean it’s not that the standard version isn’t already Paganini for 24 violins
Very nice remark! Anne Sophie Mutter magically turns old Mr. Williams into an extravagant beyond-Stockhausen composer. A fest!
Offensichtlich war dem netten alten Herrn aus der Neuen Welt mit seiner niedrigschwelligen Popkultur nicht klar, dass das in Europa als offene Beleidigung gedeutet werden kann. Da wird es Einige gegebene haben, die darüber nur die Augen verdreht oder gelacht haben.
@@g.f.w.6402 Any European "old worlder" who is insulted by that can be safely ignored as the ignorant grouches they are. ("Back in the Old Days, performers had musicality! Augh, the old masters would cry with despair if they saw the lack of technical precision and musical passion!")
Never mind that Paganini himself was absolutely a showman, and Mozart was all about writing music for money.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 Ich wusste, dass sich irgendein Ami finden wird, der sich darüber aufregt :P
The greatest composer of our age. Show this to people who say there are no new classical hits played by symphony orchestras known world-wide.
The look on his face says it all! What an incredibly humble man!!
Man she’s going crazy with that violin, what a badass!
Absolutely stunning 1st Violin. Absolutely. Stunning. John is even amazed while he watches. you can see his enjoyment and amazement. Astounded.
Have you ever heard a piece of music that is an alchemy of fun, frolic, friendship, mischief, suspense, little troubles, furtiveness, little fears and adventure with all its uncertain thrills and joys.... This is the very best. This is John Williams colouring our childhood,adolescence and pulling at our heart strings....then and now and for years to come. Thank you John for gifting me a childhood that I want to return to at any cost ❤️
Well said
briyesh
Anne is winding SO much emotion into her strings, STUNNING solo. fantastic start to an epic series of stories. gee, where have i seen john williams before when it comes to that? .....
What a mind blowing arrangement of the “anthem” of the Wizarding World. After almost 22 or so years since the release of the first film, its hard to believe the theme song is SO iconic, just because of one man……
As a Potterhead, I get goosebumps every time!
I witnessed greatness last night at the Hollywood bowl. He literally did 3 encores because he was having so much fun! What an icon!
This is just perfect music, perfect composer, perfect soloist and perfect orchestra. Everything fits together perfectly.
Thank you so much 😊
A genius of a composer and a genius of a violinist on the same stage. I so wish I had been there. This is what YT is made for! Bravo!
John Williams is incomparable! Nothing in the world of movies touch the heart like this!
Insane vibratos and pizzicatos, and pitch bends one one instrument! Listened 4 times in a row. Incredible.
So many Schindlers tonal similarities in the solo, including the direct quotes. Love. That. It’s almost a pairing of the two. Very cool.
Uff!! Wow! 😲 I missed it until your comment but it's so definitely there. Amazing.
Hi
Beautiful Anne-Sophie Mutter was Brilliant
Thank you, Mr. Williams.
Anne-Sophie Mutter made that violin speak!
You can feel kindness, sensuality, power, almost violence..... when a musician can tell a story through an instrument it's such a beauty
What’s amazing is..with a guitar you have frets. Violin you don’t have anything on the neck. If it’s off by 1/100 of an inch it’s out of tune. But the way she shreds is absolutely incredible. Props to anyone else here who is a violinist❤️
John Williams is the GOATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
John Williams is the theme of my imaginary world. His impact on the world is something that Mozart only dreamt of...
Frederik Hoyrup: Having "impact on the world" is not the goal of a true artist, especially not in said artist's own lifetime. Rossini was being lionized at the same time Beethoven was living in Vienna in poverty. Just after his death, Beethoven's original manuscript scores were sold off at auction for just a few florins each. As for the snide comment on Mozart, currently the three composers who have more operas performed more frequently are Verdi, Mozart and Puccini. Hypothetically, as much as I thoroughly enjoyed JK Rowling's Harry Potter books ( and believe they will live on well after her death), and her books, movies, etc. on Harry Potter have netted her 1 billion dollars- would an artist rather have THAT, or write literature approaching Shakespeare in depth and brilliance?
@@colleencupido5125 You want to offend me? You misplaced your shot. Rowling is our day Salieri. Except Salieri had 3 students. Name me those without wikipedia... Just 1 or 2 wil do.
@@frederikhyrup2871 If that's your only comment to what I wrote... I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
@@frederikhyrup2871 Schubert
@@colleencupido5125 Beehoven was the 2nd I knew this when I was 10.(Before the internet). I like your approact.
What a great composer and what a great violonist!
It just gives the music such a fantastic edge when one of the best soloists in the world plays that piece. Also the technique that she adds. The flourishes. I was wondering why she was there, because it's relatively easy but her variation makes it really hard.
In an interview Anne-Sophie Mutter gave a german tv show, she said that has been a fan of John Williams since she had watched Star Wars for the first time in the late seventies. She actually asked Williams at one point if he would like to compose something for her.
@@Jo92Sch what did he say?
@@a.k.a.notoriousbigpoppa9487 she gave john christmas cookies and therefore john kinda had to compose something like 10 bars for her
This arrangement is everything! Searching for the score already...
So tell us, what did you think of the original score?
i was looking for it too but couldnt find anything
@@richardodzgan7560 couldn't find anything as well, guess we have to write our own score
Its incredible! The woman is like she’s singing on her violin 🎻 ! It’s totally MAD!
"Anne Sophie Mutter" mein Gott, wie sehr verehre ich diese Frau!
God bless this man. He's just absolutely incredible. Credit to Anne-Sophie and the orchestra as well!
Massive Korngold vibes at the end of his violin concerto at 4:59 with that awesome horn call. Bravo!
*Zemlinsky
Genius levels of composed writing and execution by a world class orchestra.
I so love how Maestro Williams creates such distinctive themes for characters. Brilliant!!
Johny Williams is the greatest musical genius from the middle of the last century until now. I'd like to meet him sometime.
One thing I love about Anne-Sophie Mutter is that she doesn't spam vibrato on every single note!
Hello how are you
Really enjoyed how the flat notes were thrown in there to give it a really eerie,spookyish,adultish sound to the theme. It's hard to explain
i came from the emperial march and stumble upon this, I didn’t know the great john williams also compose this 😭 its so beautiful 🙌🏻
You need to enlighten yourself in music history.
@@rabarebra im talking about the imperial march orchestra,,,,,
the audience in the video doesn't seem to know how lucky they are- if i was here i'd be smiling the whole time
2:27 That intonation and articulation!
Harry Potter, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, E.T., Indiana Jones, Home Alone, Jaws…who never get excited in your childhood or even as an adult?
He is THE legend!
My god, how much do we all love this wonderful man, John Williams, who has given us so many cherished memories in our childhood and also now as grown ups with his music in legendary movies (often directed by his friend Steven Spielberg) ???? A man, already a legend in music!
That little girl in the audience sitting on her dad’s lap is listening with full attention. I can see her becoming a music legend.
Wow. That was insane. Anne-Sophie is absolutely amazing! They all sounds incredible! John Williams is a legend.
Fabulous! Mirjam loved the strings. I loved the brass. We both loved Mr William's impish grin.
I was there in Vienna. Amazing concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤ This wonderful music, I'm closed 100% newly in love, these are the most delicious tones for my soul, simply overwhelming! Thank you 💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹
Got my dvd/cd set in the mail last week...blown away by the performances!
Well done algorhytm. I just watched a documentary on Snowy Owls and I look after one . These birds are magical.
What an honor it must have been for Mutter and Williams to work together😊
Hello how are you
Hard to believe there’s no real magic in the world when she can play like that
Screechy and out of tune is magic?
Jesus I envy even a small kid sitting on this concert :)
I am certain she did not make a sound, move, cry. Just being in the moment, fascinated.
Utterly haunting. Completely amazing. This is Real Magic.
6:02 - even the master is impressed
Yup that look says "AWE".
Sin
this is all kinds of absolutely incredible
Ordered this concert CD’s. Beautiful (two discs). I play them while driving. Magical!
Hermosa, Prodigiosa, simplemente perfecta Anne Sophie Mutter... La mejor Violinista del Mundo...!!!!
I am Speachless, completely amazing, everyone on that stage Bravo! John Williams is our modern day Great Composer and I am blessed to have seen him conduct twice in Chicago at the CSO. He is such a gentleman and conversed with the audience on his wonderful compositions.
I was like :o when I happen to realise that Violin playing had made her back muscles so aesthetic
I remember going to movies back in high school and when they were showing trailers, everyone would cheer and clap when this music started. Sometimes it would even be before any images came on the screen, but everyone knew what it was.
Thank you mr William's
Those variations are masterfully executed on that violin!
Hello how are you
I'm crying😭 my childhood
Excellent...wonderful violin solo
Omg, that was just pure perfection to listen to!
Just absolutely beautiful
Soooo excited for the album
I was there in January, it was amazing. It's so nice to see it again here!
She uses that bow like the rest of us use our mouths. As if it is literally part of her.
N. Harnoncourt himself commended the Vienna Philharmonics for their skill, so no surprise that John Williams is feeling it
Just watched this for the millionth time, just wow! Such talent across the board, amazing!
dude! after hearing this nostalgic music, i really want to rewatch the whole series now, like right now
Beautiful music and great performance!!!!
Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands!
Spectacular🎉❤❤🎉
Unglaublich, so schön Ihr Zuzuhören !
OWLS OF THE WORLD CAN BE PROUD OF THIS FINE CHARACTERIZATION - LOVE EVERY NOTE - 🎶🎻🦉
Cringeling
anne-sophie mutter doing a john williams score is a collaboration you don’t normally see everyday.
but when you do see it, cherish it.
J. Williams and A. Sophie-Mutter have done more violin arrangements of classic movie music (on TH-cam), and he also wrote a violin concerto for/with her.
OMG! Absolute perfection in the execution.
Impressive way to make an instrument talk.
Congratulations to all the Orchestra. What a giift!!! ❤️🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love John Williams and his work on Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Home Alone, Jurassic Park, and Harry Potter. 🦈🌌🛸🦸♂️🤠👽🏠🦖🪄
Wow, for how long did you look up the emoticons library before finding ever matching piece after all...😅
I just thought they’d go right, I couldn’t find some for Schindler’s List or Saving Private Ryan.
I've grown to love this
THIS IS EVERYTHING
To think that this is how imagined how the word "magical" would sound like. It's mindblowing!
I come back here again and again for Anne Sophie Mutter. ❤️
I’ve been waiting for this video for so long 😍😍
Thank you ❣️
This is a masterclass of orchestration! A true hero... John Williams 🎉🎉
