John Williams – Live in Vienna 2021/2022
An unforgettable concert experience with goosebumps guaranteed - for the first time in the cinema!
On the occasion of the upcoming 90th birthday of the "master of cinematic magic", all music and film fans can rejoice: For the first time ever, you can experience the historic concert with John Williams, the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic & star guest Anne-Sophie Mutter on the big screen! Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park - John Williams' soundtracks are among the most popular in film history and have received countless prestigious awards, including five Oscars, five Emmys, four Golden Globes and 25 Grammys.
Williams' two concerts at the Vienna Musikverein in January 2020 were the first performances the composer has ever conducted in continental Europe and with the Vienna Philharmonic. "John Williams - Live in Vienna" documents this unique performance in the tradition-steeped Great Hall of the Vienna Musikverein - "a very special honour" in the composer's life.
The world-famous orchestra plays cult themes from E. T., Jaws, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and other milestones of film history. Star guest is Anne-Sophie Mutter - with adaptations for violin arranged especially for her by Williams. With interpretations of the "Devil's Dance" from The Witches of Eastwick as well as the "Raider's March" from Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, the two continue their artistic partnership even after their joint successful album Across the Stars (number 1 in the classical music charts, among others).
Of course, the world-famous "Imperial March" from Star Wars will not be missing. "One of the best performances of this march I have ever heard", Williams stated.
Running time: 130 min.
Film release date (release): 31.12.2021
