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®.

“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!
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
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 witnessed greatness last night at the Hollywood bowl. He literally did 3 encores because he was having so much fun! What an icon!
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!
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!
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.
❤❤❤❤❤ This wonderful music, I'm closed 100% newly in love, these are the most delicious tones for my soul, simply overwhelming! Thank you 💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹
I was there in January, it was amazing. It's so nice to see it again here!
Beautiful music and great performance!!!!
That's the most amazing thing i have ever heard in my entire life. Love from Volos, Hellas (Greece)
Coole Musik, und diese Geigerin unverändert spitze. Großartig
John Williams gives me vibes of a teddy bear omg its so cute to watch how he happy he is that it sounds so awesome and especially when anne sophie mutter plays he looks absolutely impressed
Hello how are you
The violinist omg she is gracefully Awesome
So this is supposed to be John Williams "hedwig" violin concerto
This is a masterclass of orchestration! A true hero... John Williams 🎉🎉
This is not just film music. This is a Violin Concerto by John Williams.
wow, this is so cool, and this is the first time i've seen an alto flute in an orchestra 1:21
First time? Stravinsky, Ravel?
@@dankrebs4764 lol yeah for me
the ending gives goosebumps
That simply cannot be real. Wow!!!
The audience though.😂 Not the face I'd be making. I'd be dancing all way through.
Bravisimo ese prodigioso violín 🎻!!!!!
Two legends, BRAVO!
I’m looking at the people who are in the audience and none of them are smiling. Every time I saw John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl, everyone in the audience was smiling ear to ear
Look at the full concert. People are stunned! A lot of smiled
Let's say this loud, Anne Sophie flew away so high with her interpretation that even the Maestro couldn't stop grining when was looking at her. Like watching small kid with a brush, running in the Louvre and painting over Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and other masterpieces. BTW , her performance in Theme from Sabrina was excellent just The Hedwig’s Theme is a disaster.
John Williams is master of wizard
The Harry Potter Concerto... with epic Cadenza
John Williams the Master ❤
この歌好きすぎてやばい
日本人でも好きです❤️
素敵ですね
Fun! I really appreciate this, playing songs amateurs pick up off the shelf. ...and that volunteer orchestras master, some maybe over and over.
oh por dios lo que toca el violin esa mujer!!!
Brilliant! Just Brilliant ❤
The best and hottest violinist of all times.
Ich finde Anne-Sophie Mutter versaut hier dieses wunderschöne Lied
Erstens, du hast keine Ahnung was da gespielt wurde. Zweitens, es ist kein Lied.
Incredible
ooh the senza vib at the start is interesting
Alright! Absolutely no pressure, being Solo Violin and starting this alone, and having Williams conducting this no, no pressure, right?
Look up videos of "The President's Own" United States Marines band conducted by John Williams. You can see after the piece, the band members are awestruck at performing with the legend!
Bravisimoo!! Que grandiosa Anne Sophie Mutter, sorprende la naturalidad que mantiene al tocar ese violin
Okay, I am no philistine and I don't want to seem like someone. And I know that this is the Vienna orchestra which means that these guys are badasses. But am I the only one who doesn't like this violin version played by Anne-Sophie Mutter?
You're not alone but definitely the minority.
I was really looking forward to this when I found it but was sadly disappointed :/
In the beginning some of the notes weren't flowing that well for her, some articulations were either wholly unnecessary or just not played properly which gave the more tender beginning a harsher quality of sound than it ought to had and it just didn't blend and then the choice of having her play the accompaniment over the melody entrance in the woodwinds was a bad one too, at least with that volume, the melody is hard to hear, either the woodwinds needed to be louder, the violin softer or both. Then comes the pizzicato on the soloist which once again brings out parts of the original score that weren't meant to stand out and it ends up distracting from the core elements of the composition with things that were meant as additional flairs now taking center stage for no good reason. It's like interrupting a great scene in a movie to point out that the weather is looking nice and then focus on that while the great scene is in the background.. It was there before and can enhance the scene but to bring it forward while ignoring the actual substance of it all would be bad.
Later on it has it's moments but I couldn't even pay much attention after the disappointment :/
With all that said, they're all great, this just wasn't their greatest moment.
Fantástico!!!!!
2:40 if they morphed into Aqua Lung right there.. it would have been epic lol
Music by itself is a true work of art, that extra violin is polluting what by itself no longer needs additions.
Nothing against her musical abilities just that she's polluting unnecessarily.
Complain to John Williams, he wrote every note of this "variation".
I wish there was sheet music for this!!!!
Anybody else noticed she did not have a shoulder rest??? WHERE DID IT GO!?!?!?!?!?! If any violinist in my school forgets it, my teacher gives us a lecture before giving an extra (not saying he is mean. He is chill and 60 yrs)
This is such a funny song in its breaking of the frame--but no one's laughing!
ECCEZIONALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also a Legend -> Anna-Sophie Mutter
John Williams allows his side piece on stage to play Violin in front of an Orchestra
Wow！it is violin concerto!
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)
"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
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 😉
ruclips.net/video/28SxLy4kUmE/видео.html
That violinist is insane
Yeah, she's incredible
That's Anne Sophie-Mutter for ya
@@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
@@Fredkt17 I agree, she's a primadonna -_-
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.
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
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
idk about this one maybe it was that lady but it sounded kinda distorted and off maybe it me idk..
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.
She uses that bow like the rest of us use our mouths. As if it is literally part of her.
I hate to say the two don't go well together. She deserves her own show no doubt, but in my opinion Hedwig's Theme just isn't for solists
Her performance is painful and unnecessary butcherd the performance someone should have gotten her off the stage
Agree. Horrible! She destroyed the whole Hedwig's Theme for me. Less is more is a good saying.
@@rabarebra I agree with you, and with Maestro Celibidache. He has spoken quite clearly about mutter. A disaster violinist.
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~~
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
04:44 that moment when the other strings join her. Wow 😲😌
Hmm. This is my first time hearing this and I doesn’t really work for me. The orchestra and Mutter play beautifully, John Williams is, well, no complaints there, and I love all his _Harry Potter_ music-but this concertolike adaptation is weird. I don’t think it does the music much justice. I’d rather just hear a concert medley or something. Perhaps Mutter playing a fantasia on these themes without orchestral accompaniment might work.
So crazy. She nailed the nail...so sharp and brilliant, with such a difficult melody, wild appearing chords and double stops, cadenza...amazing 👏
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?
Absolutely stunning 1st Violin. Absolutely. Stunning. John is even amazed while he watches. you can see his enjoyment and amazement. Astounded.
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!
As much as I love William's scores the violin has ruined the piece :(
Agree.
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? .....
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
That violin part is very Sibelius influenced to me, like Johnny boi took a lot of inspiration from Sibelius' Violin Concerto (one of the best violin pieces).
Insane vibratos and pizzicatos, and pitch bends one one instrument! Listened 4 times in a row. Incredible.
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.
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.

@@colleencupido5125 Beehoven was the 2nd I knew this when I was 10.(Before the internet). I like your approact.
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❤️
It is so sad that these incredibly talented musicians who create this atmosphere and delight to the ears earn not very much, in the way of the entertainments industry. Especially when you compare them to the pop music industry. The industry is just completely wrong. As a concert pianist myself.. I know this all too well.
Hedwig’s Theme destroyed!
Does anyone know if that cadenza was scored or improvised? It "kind of" sounds like WIlliams, but kind of "not", too. His compositional style is constantly evolving, though, even at this point in his life, so nothing surprises me . . .
Is seems that, all notes are from Maestro genius
If you listen to William's other solo works (Cello, French Horn, Bassoon) you'll realize that this cadenza is, indeed, very much within his writing style.
Ok, the soloist is extremely talented, but we can do without. Her timing is also peculiar. Credit where it’s due, but I would have preferred a less showy, more delicate solo from the violin.
Blame John Williams, he wrote every single note of this variation for her.
"Anne Sophie Mutter" mein Gott, wie sehr verehre ich diese Frau!
I wonder how would have sound the Lord of the Rings soundtrack if it would had been composed by John Williams
i didnt like the violin
It is awful.
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.
It would have been 1K times better if the woman in blue was not literally trying to steal the show from the whole orchestra
Come on she's not trying to steal the show, she's the soloist.
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
I was like :o when I happen to realise that Violin playing had made her back muscles so aesthetic
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
6:02 - even the master is impressed
Yup that look says "AWE".
Sin
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
Love his work... But am I the only one that would prefer the soundtrack?
No, you are not the only one. This was painful. I hate solo violin, it sounds ugly.
I just can't stop watching this.
Hermosa, Prodigiosa, simplemente perfecta Anne Sophie Mutter... La mejor Violinista del Mundo...!!!!
I so love how Maestro Williams creates such distinctive themes for characters. Brilliant!!
John Williams is incomparable! Nothing in the world of movies touch the heart like this!
Това звучи добре!!! Брависисимо!!! Das gefällt mir sehr viel!!! Bravisisisimo!!!
