  • Music by John Williams
    This is a personal audio/video homage to some of John Williams' intimate and subdued works for movies. The composer reached international success thanks mainly to his vibrant full-blown symphonic style for films like Star Wars, Superman and Raiders of the Lost Ark. However, over the years he showed also a rare sensibility for dramas that requested "small" intimate scores, like The Accidental Tourist (1988), The River (1984), Always (1989), Stepmom (1998) and Stanley & Iris (1989). These works show the quiet, wistful side of John Williams, in many cases dominated by melancholic melodies played by solo instruments like piano, cello, flute and guitar.
    A special mention to the amazing artistry of all the great Los Angeles musicians who played in these film scores and brough them to life.

    Num mundo onde o "fast food" cultural se propaga de forma avassaladora e a palavra "gênio" se tornou tão desgastada, ainda há pessoas para quem essa palavra se encaixa sob medida.
    Sem dúvida alguma, John Williams é uma dessas pessoas.
    Um dos maiores compositores que pisaram neste planeta.
    Obrigado maestro!🎼❤️🌹

    John Williams: A national treasure...
    His resume would fill pages and pages and span more than fifty (50) years. John Williams' brilliant musical compositions bring back memories of my childhood. All I have to do is sit down and watch an episode of Lost in Space and listen to the theme and the brilliant specifically-timed interludes matched to scenes using symphony orchestra instruments. This man has fifty-one (51) Oscar Academy nominations and five (5) Oscars for the musical themes he composed for major motion pictures. I heard he broke his own record by getting the 5th Oscar. This is an unprecedented achievement. Unreal...beyond belief!!... But most impressive about John Williams is his humble and down-to-earth character. Just watch any interview he does and you'll see what I mean.

    Aahh...Stepmom is and always will be one of my all-time favorite Williams scores. Some of his most beautiful work ever. It's very underrated...the textures and harmonies are so rich without weighing down the exquisite woodwind solos interspersed throughout the score.

    Even when I get tired of his music, a while after it finds a way to my heart again... and again.... :always...

    Some excellent selections you've included here. It's long driven me crazy that so many folks think Williams and think 'Star Wars' or 'Harry Potter' and know so little about his more subtle, subdued scores like this. Accidental Tourist remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

      Agree. Accidental Tourist's lyric theme is one of his most beautiful

    I always wondered why John Williams never made a recording or worked with the classical guitarist John Williams. That would have been something.
