Anybody else start tearing up when you hear certain notes or combinations of notes in music? I don't get how they don't start crying as they play these notes! So beautiful
To me it is John Williams greatest masterpiece. It's most unique and special one. How can a human being be filled with so much love and pure and tangible emotions?
I'd consider this score at least half of the movie's beauty. In certain scenes you can almost feel the silk brushing against the floor when the geisha dance. John is one of very few people who can feel the music through, like red wine through the water.
2006 oscar was really tight. it seems oscar just give each movies at least 3 win. memoirs of a geisha 3 win brokeback mountain 4 win king kong 3 win pride and prejudice 0 win ;( honestly we know memoirs of a geisha should have had 6 win
"She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes like deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for Geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances. She sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows. The rest is secret."
YOU AIN'T NEVER LIED!!!! He's the most famous and successful movie score composer of all time, and that's a statistical fact. He is my favorite composer...period.
It's a whole different ball game. When you have alot of directors going to John Williams for him to make the music even for Star wars The thinks about But everything changes when John Williams actually wants to score your film. This is the only movie I've heard Williams say he actually wanted to do
The director Rob Marshall is probably one of the smartest directors in the industry in that he acknowledges John is a master of his craft. "If John wants to score, I will let him". Now hopefully Abrams does this with Star Wars.
he captures the film so well and with such beauty. His music speaks the story, its like they are one, they ARE one. he is so brilliant at this. I could just keep going on. I cannot truly speak what my heart feels about the music for this movie, the soundtrack, and the book. they are all SO brilliant and BEAUTIFUL. I wish I could have been a part of any part of this story and its production
John Williams is the most versatile composer ever! He composes with a japanese feeling so authentic that I have to check his wardrobe for katanas... And when Itzahk Perlman, über-violinist, and Yo-Yo Ma, über-cellist, joins him... There are no words, my friends... no words... I've gotto see the movie!
WIlliam's best score so far. His other tunes are great of course but the ones in Memoirs of a Geisha are just absolutely beautiful. Made him one of my favorite composers.
A few thoughts about this: very few of us get to watch a movie without any of its music which is what film composers do routinely. Can't imagine what this must be like (tho eating a cake with only half its ingredients springs to mind). The gift of JW - and all other great composers of film music - is to magically encapsulate the essence of a movie within seconds without the audience being consciously aware of it. It follows that for me Memoirs of a Geisha and AI are 2 of JW's greatest scores. I'd also like to mention Oliver Stone's JFK where, again, right from the very outset JW's music manages somehow to inform the audience about the very dark and murky nature of the film they're about to watch. (John Barrie's Midnight Cowboy and Nino Rota's Godfather do the same thing).
oh the music is so beautiful in the film in fact I have the soundtrack in my mp3 its just every time I listen to it it gives me so much inspiration its like a story being told to the music I love the chairmans music the best its so wonderful man I cant stop gushing about lol its just splendid john williams did a terrific job and everyone on that staff as well
Such a gorgeous score.. I remember when it got the OST, that it was in my cd player in my car on loop over a week. And I drive alot! Excellent Excellent
Usually orchestral players are actually contracted individually, though composers generally like to work with the same group of people again and again. In Williams' case he often gets players from the LSO when he isn't recording in LA
oh, I'd love to go for his concert, it's my dream:) but i live in Poland, so you know.. he's genius. congrats for "memories of a geisha" and "Shindler's list". it's amazing
All the biggest movies of our time, Star Wars Saga, Superman, ET, The Cowboys, The Indiana Jones series etc, Not to mention the music for the last 3 Olympics in the US were scored by this man. And he never won an Oscar
whatever people may think of rob marshall and his abilities as a director, it cannot be denied that he certainly knows how to get the best out of his actors and creative collaborators. i mean, his three musketeers (colleen atwood, dion beebe, and john myhre) all own their combined 5 oscars and 2 emmys to rob. under rob's guidence, john wrote one of his best scores in recent years with this film. he's directed 5 actors to oscar nominated performances (4 on his first feature film alone)
6:54, just curious to know. The gentleman here, Masakazu Yoshizawa, how did he get a Slippery Rock shirt? When I was watching this for the first time, I was surprised to see him wearing a shirt of my Alma Mater. If anyone knows, leave a comment. This is small but I'm curious. Love this movie and the soundtrack, listen to it during roadtrips.
I wouldn't sweat it... the man has 5 oscars under his belt. Fiddler on the Roof (1971) Jaws (1975) Star Wars (1977) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Schindler's List (1993)
I do believe Danny Elfman is a great composer and I love his melodies A LOT! But John Williams is superior in that he does his own orchestrations and conducting. As a composer, I wouldn't want it any other way unless time retrained that leisure. I couldn't chose between the 2 though.
Williams is a living Genius and a living legend. The best with Herrmann and Korngold. But I like another living composers (and dead too) like Poledouris, Newman and Newton Howard. Sountracks are the future of "classical music".
i love this, john williams is so great and Perlman did an absolutely beautiful job. yo-yo ma is really really great too, but is it just me or but did the poor guy look almost scared. well love him anyway.
Anybody else start tearing up when you hear certain notes or combinations of notes in music?
I don't get how they don't start crying as they play these notes! So beautiful
I teared up. I thought who the fxxx wrote the music. And...well..John Williams.
For me it's "The chairman's waltz". It's so beautiful.
Yes absolutely
to have John Williams, Itzak Perlman, and Yo Yo Ma working together is the greatest thing you can get for a movie!
Three gods under one roof. RIP ~ Williams and Perlman.
13 years ago was posted this comment and I’m crying of listening this melody 🎶
@@tetianafilyarchuk2838 and this soundtrack still stands as one of my favorites! I was 19 when this movie came out 😍😍
@@pattys8048 John Williams and Perlman are Still Alive.
John Williams is a genius and look no further than the OST of this movie. It's exemplary and intimate. Still mint fresh to this day.
The score was better than the movie to be honest
I dare say that John Williams is the best living composer in the world. today. Scores are meant to fit the screen but JW goes well beyond that.
💯

one of my favorite soundtracks of all time easily I never skip tracks and it's on repeat always
Same to me
yea it shouldve won an academy award it was one of the most brilliant movies and books ive ever read
2006 oscar was really tight. it seems oscar just give each movies at least 3 win.
memoirs of a geisha 3 win
brokeback mountain 4 win
king kong 3 win
pride and prejudice 0 win ;(
honestly we know memoirs of a geisha should have had 6 win
By all means, John Williams's work with this soundtrack makes it one of the all-time crown jewels of movie music.

The classic movie and soundtrack are magnificent and still fantastic after all these years.❤❤😊😊
Can't thank him enough for asking to do the scores for this film. So beautiful.
The music from this movie is GORGEOUS!!!!!
The amount of talent that went into it and how beautiful this soundtrack is, just spectacular.
Williams' best score in over 20 years for a film not directed by Steven Spielberg, and one of his 15 best overall.
This IS FANTASTIC! MESMERIZED. HOW HE CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF CLASSICAL JAPANESE MUSIC IS BEYOND ME.
Itzhak Perklman + Yo-yo Ma + John Williams = Brilliant feel for music!!!
someone finally recognizes the cello.
serisouly, I love it so much and it sounds so amazing here.
john williams is truely a hero.
It's a whole different ball game.
When you have alot of directors going to John Williams for him to make the music even for Star wars The thinks about
But everything changes when John Williams actually wants to score your film. This is the only movie I've heard Williams say he actually wanted to do
Daniel Salazar he asked to do the film adaptation of The Book Thief as well
@@cinemascore-along he loved his book
The music is simply one of the most beautiful scores ever ! John Williams is a genius !!!!!
The director Rob Marshall is probably one of the smartest directors in the industry in that he acknowledges John is a master of his craft. "If John wants to score, I will let him". Now hopefully Abrams does this with Star Wars.
My favorite John Williams score.. and that's saying something!
I enjoyed seeing my 2 favorite string players working together. Mr. Pearlman & Yo-Yo Ma. 👍😁👍😁👍😁
The music is beyond all meanings of divine.....breathtakingly exquisite.....
he captures the film so well and with such beauty. His music speaks the story, its like they are one, they ARE one. he is so brilliant at this. I could just keep going on. I cannot truly speak what my heart feels about the music for this movie, the soundtrack, and the book. they are all SO brilliant and BEAUTIFUL. I wish I could have been a part of any part of this story and its production
I belive its his best yet. It is very emotional and he kept to the strings more gently more than I ever saw him do.
this is the most wonderful sountrack - you can totally feel the characters in the music
What is even more incredible is how he composes such a beatiful main theme using only the white keys of the piano!
Excellent piece to describe the film's music! Williams, Yo-Yo Ma and Perlman made an outstanding job in this clip!
I love this soundtrack so much. Truly amazing: John Williams, Yo-Yo Ma AND Itzahk Perlman all performing in ONE score!!! *faint*
John Williams is the most versatile composer ever! He composes with a japanese feeling so authentic that I have to check his wardrobe for katanas... And when Itzahk Perlman, über-violinist, and Yo-Yo Ma, über-cellist, joins him... There are no words, my friends... no words... I've gotto see the movie!
John Williams rocks! he totally out did himself on this score. Its fantastic
It is amazing that the music was written after the movie was recorded. Especially those dancing scenes!
this whole movie, score, everything gives me chills :) so beautiful
WIlliam's best score so far. His other tunes are great of course but the ones in Memoirs of a Geisha are just absolutely beautiful. Made him one of my favorite composers.
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant! Masters of art and music composition. ❤️
"i get goosebumps every time i hear sayuries theme" .... mee too.
this movies music is just so great. I can't stop listening and plus the movie is great.
I would faint if I was in the same room as John Williams.
Forever will love this score. Magical.
I get goose bumps each time i hear the music of this song i love it
This score transformed the movie. Music makes it visceral and so real. If it was anyone else who did this score, it just wouldnt feel the same
love watching and hearing how masters like mr williams work their magic. thanks for throwing this up on utube.
This movie is so underrated
john, perlman and yo-yo works together.... three music genius

Gave me chills! Cello!!! and that violin! I absolutely love this
This music is so beautiful, and ofcourse, I loved the movie, I watched it so many times and it's still intresting me! Great movie!
John just is the most amazing person in the whole world
I love the book, music and movie. It has to be one of my favorite scores of all time!
The most beautiful music ever... Breathtaking. It makes my heart beat faster.
there's always something amazing and inspirational about watching genius (or geniuses) at work.
I love this peace of music... I always get goosebums... Love
Thank you for sharing your video. 🌷🌿🌷
Such a gorgeous score.. I remember when it got the OST, that it was in my cd player in my car on loop over a week. And I drive alot! Excellent Excellent
the whole album is great, very touching and beautiful
one of the best scores i've ever heard.
wow this is amazing. That violin solo was just beautiful.
Очень прекрасная музыка ,с любовью к вашему творчеству,из Белоруссии!!!
6:00 - 6:30 OMG GORGEOUS!!!
Very firmly agreed about the Oscars. The fact that Santaolalla won AGAIN the next year has completely destroyed my faith in that organization.
Una obra de arte
GREAT MUSIC! GREETINGS FROM GREECE!!!
John Williams, PLEASE, PLEASE compose the music for the last harry potter movie, PLEASE. Your music is half the reason why i lve harry potter films !
This is something incredibly beautiful ❤️
Usually orchestral players are actually contracted individually, though composers generally like to work with the same group of people again and again. In Williams' case he often gets players from the LSO when he isn't recording in LA
This could be his best album. that pretty much says how good it is.
oh, I'd love to go for his concert, it's my dream:) but i live in Poland, so you know.. he's genius. congrats for "memories of a geisha" and "Shindler's list". it's amazing
Increíble gracias por compartir ♡
Beautiful
All the biggest movies of our time, Star Wars Saga, Superman, ET, The Cowboys, The Indiana Jones series etc, Not to mention the music for the last 3 Olympics in the US were scored by this man.
And he never won an Oscar
I love this video! And the music is faburlous!
Wow!!! Magnificent

Just a genius...amazing

yo yo ma rules. itzhak perlman is amazing with yo yo ma, the chairman's waltz is the best. this is one of my fave movies/scores.
Amazing 👌🙌
whatever people may think of rob marshall and his abilities as a director, it cannot be denied that he certainly knows how to get the best out of his actors and creative collaborators. i mean, his three musketeers (colleen atwood, dion beebe, and john myhre) all own their combined 5 oscars and 2 emmys to rob. under rob's guidence, john wrote one of his best scores in recent years with this film. he's directed 5 actors to oscar nominated performances (4 on his first feature film alone)

a masterpiece!! very interesting video, thank you =)
I wouldn't sweat it... the man has 5 oscars under his belt.
Fiddler on the Roof (1971)
Jaws (1975)
Star Wars (1977)
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Schindler's List (1993)
fascinating...
@chipper916: Percussionists always use a bass bow.

Sountracks are the future of "classical music".
@RogueRotting360 Awesome! Thank you!
i love this, john williams is so great and Perlman did an absolutely beautiful job. yo-yo ma is really really great too, but is it just me or but did the poor guy look almost scared. well love him anyway.
