Album insights
John Williams, the legendary American film composer, conducted the Berlin Philharmonic for the first time a few months before his 90th birthday. Tagesspiegel described it as "one of those amazing evenings." The symphonic Hollywood melodies, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Indiana Jones, captivated the audience right from the start at the Berlin Philharmonic. The album titled "John Williams – The Berlin Concert" celebrates the "arguably greatest soundtrack composer of all time" (Rolling Stone) and captures the incredible energy of this unique concert with one of the world's top orchestras. Led by Williams, the musicians bring a masterful beauty and extraordinary intensity to a thrilling selection of his scores. According to Rolling Stone, "John Williams doesn't need the films; the films need him." The album includes music from Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Superman, and of course, Star Wars. It is available not only as a limited 2-CD edition in a premium digipack with a sophisticated gold foil design on the cover but also in a limited LP set with two 180g vinyl records and as a limited deluxe edition, download, and stream. The deluxe edition features the unique concert experience on 2 CDs and, exclusively, the concert video on 2 Blu-rays in stereo, surround 5.1, and Dolby Atmos®, all presented in a high-quality digipack in DVD format.
