+JustLyn: I know, right? Who *wouldn't* feel utter joy playing ANYthing by JW? Just listening to his Olympic theme he wrote in 1984 gives me chills and happy tears after all these years! And his "Star Wars" and "Superman" themes are, IMO, masterpieces, to say nothing of his music for "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind."
I agree that they are trained so that they don't visibly show discontent during days they aren't their best, but there is definitely something to be said about the joy of playing music. If you don't truly enjoy playing music, you won't get into the berlin philharmoniker.
I love how everyone in the comments is giving all the love to the French horns. I’m a French horn player so it makes me feel all warm inside when someone actually appreciates the special sound it gives to any John Williams piece.
French horns are the real foundation of the regal quality to John Williams pieces. Trumpets are the sparkle, but the French horns are the majesty. From a trumpet player.
It's ridiculous how close this sounds to the recorded version Edit: guys. I know they’re actually playing it. I know this isn’t playback. I’m a musician too. I’m simply complimenting these wonderful musicians on how closely they captured the original sound and timbre.
+Balls McGee Composers for movies or games are way too underestimated. Just look at this theme, or at Schindler's List, Lord of the Rings, etc. So many good composers out there, play their music!
Diabolus Agiosophis Yeah John Williams and Nobuo Uematsu are some of my favorite composers. I rank their music right alongside any of the great classical composers.
+Balls McGee Try The Ipcress File theme by John Barry (most famous for the scores for countless James Bond films...) and also let's not forget Henri Mancini!
It happens fairly consistently when orchestras perform John Williams' music! I was lucky to see him conducting the LSO many years ago and I've never seen an orchestra having that much fun.
OK, a totally different kind of entertainment, but for band members enjoying just being there, IMO nothing beats ua-cam.com/video/uMPEUcVyJsc/v-deo.html (sorry, I couldn't find the full version now). But the musicians' enjoyment is one of the things I enjoy most about that piece.
The Berliner Horn Section will forever be one of my favorite sections in any given orchestra. Bravo Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker on such an amazing performance on a classic!
Coś niebywale wspaniałego !!! Mnogość dźwięków podnosi włosy na skórze oraz przenosi mnie do środka historii która opowiada całą orkiestra!! Bravo !!! Bellisima!!!
Wow, I smiled when I saw this. So pristine and clean! See! One of the world's greatest orchestra's is NOT restricted to classical, avant guarde, or opera! Kudos to the Berliner Philharmoniker :)
This made me cry because of how beautiful it was played. My father had a hat JUST like the India Jones fan. He was CRAZYYY over those movies, and he used to wear a hat and leather jacket like his. Just brought back so many beautiful memories. Thank you for the gorgeous music and the memories. Love you pops
As a life long Indiana Jones fan (it was literally my life from the ages of 6 though 10. I wanted to be an archeologist so badly it hurt)I was in tears at hearing this version. WE LOVE YOU INDY!!
I remember being 9 or 10 and always playing as Indy in my backyard with my grandpa's huge fedora and a toy revolver. Then one day, I came home and on my bed were the iconic whip, the holster, the metal revolver (toy ofc) and of course, the exact bag that Indy wears throughout the franchise. After that day, every time I came home from school, I begged my parents to go to the local park and play as Indiana Jones, running and rolling around the place, shooting at people and wrapping the whip around their foot before pulling them down, and all that stuff...Those were the days.
It was only literally your life if you are a fictitious character, which is clearly nonsense. You see what a minefield you step into by forcing the word 'literally' into everything you say?
@@markfox1545it's clear that he meant as a kid, being a fanatic of Indiana Jones was LITERALLY his life. Keep your snide comments to yourself and get lost mArK
Thank you so much Berliner Philharmoniker. I was there and never forget that moment even it has been more than 10 years. I cannot believe that I was there at the top end camera box. I could buy the ticket at the boxoffice the day. It was unforgettable memory forever. And the gentle German grand mum from my side. Thank you so much. Hope to get the chamber again with my lovely my wife some day.
One thing I've always admired about Rattle is that he never seems like he feels himself to be above this kind of music as many others do; he just appreciates it for the joy and beauty it is, as much as any other piece.
I always get Goosebumps when i listened to this.... And visualize that Harrison ford, Sean Connery and His friends runs their horses through the passage in front of Petra... Damn i love this.
All the smiles made me happy. I’m young but god when my bud introduced me to this series I watched everyone movie like 20 times lol. I’ve been playing in the school orchestra for 6 years now, can’t wait to do some work like this
Danke John Williams, dank ihnen mag ich auch Beethoven, Bach und all die anderen. Und das alles weil ich 1977 meine erste LP gekauft habe KRIEG DER STERNE, so hieß der Film damals.
Today, I watched the last movie of Indian Jones series by Harryson Ford and listen to Music now. I am so touched when thinking of movie. Plz do not take ages.. Harryson Ford.
Great stuff from a great composer, great orchestra, and great conductor. It's always so cool to see the players clearly enjoying themselves while still playing at an astronomical level.
Thank you so much for your endless love and support. You're indeed a true fan. Your pleasantries on my comment section Sending you lots of love ❤️❤️kindly send me a direct message
Quite likely, I suspect. Because his music is really associated with the most signature films of our times. People who are into film 100 years from now will know of these films if they know of any from our era.
Oh I forgot about that! He liked fencing! Spalko: I've been waiting for you, Henry Jones III. We meet again at last. When I left you, you were but the learner. Now *I* am STILL the master! Mutt: Only a master of evil, you commie bitch. (clash) Spalko: Your powers are weak, young man. You should not have come back. Mutt: You can't win, Spalko. If you strike me down, I shall only become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Spalko: What do you mean? That you shall be part of some extradimensional force? Be on another plane of existence? Believe me, I've BEEN there and it's no big deal.
This is amazing! I love Star Wars and Indiana Jones! I’m playing this on flute in my concert! I’m so excited! Also I was playing this and was like, “oh wow I’m doing good... then I messed up and thought of Han Solo’s “Don’t get cocky”” 😂
holy mother of god, this brings amazingly good memories, going to the movies in the 80's The Magic was not only on the screen, it was also in the eyes of the kids!
the is the first movie i've ever seen comped with John Williams music and since then i have always loved his frequent use of the french horn and string instruments with subtle use of bells here and there its very distinct. still the memories bring tears to my eyes. i wish i could be 12 years old again and go on those adventures once more riding trough the desert or crawling trough the jungle or fighting mobsters in Chinatown. those were beautiful experiences...just not the crystal skull..... no.. it doesn't exist...The music was still great nonetheless
I lost my brother more than 20 years ago, but he was a massive fan of Williams (so am I). When I watch any movie with a Williams score, or hear one here on UA-cam, I get misty eyed and remember my brother’s love for him. He was a high school band teacher, and I’m pretty sure his love of music and conducting was influenced by the absolute legend John Williams.
I love how everyone was visibly enjoying playing.
They are trained, same s we are learning looks nice on public performance :D
iannickCZ Wow, we have cynic here...
+JustLyn: I know, right? Who *wouldn't* feel utter joy playing ANYthing by JW? Just listening to his Olympic theme he wrote in 1984 gives me chills and happy tears after all these years!

Maybe the director told them to watch the Indiana jones before performing it.
I love how everyone in the comments is giving all the love to the French horns. I’m a French horn player so it makes me feel all warm inside when someone actually appreciates the special sound it gives to any John Williams piece.
Ice Flame same !
they make the core of the theme...and it’s hard to find a good ensemble, it’s not and easy instrument.
I love it too! John William really showed the french horns off in his music
French horns are the real foundation of the regal quality to John Williams pieces. Trumpets are the sparkle, but the French horns are the majesty. From a trumpet player.
I love horns its the best brass instrument.
It's ridiculous how close this sounds to the recorded version
Edit: guys. I know they’re actually playing it. I know this isn’t playback. I’m a musician too. I’m simply complimenting these wonderful musicians on how closely they captured the original sound and timbre.
the drums and the crowd are a give away at the beginning. just a very well balanced mix by the live audio guys.
Gladiator film
Right on man. Very hard to tell difference. Snare is a little quieter here than studio version, imo.
Well, professional musicians performing the same music written by Williams and they're very damn good at what they do. Bravo!
And Yet It's Outside
It's nice to see film music being played by one of the worlds top orchestras. Looks like people are beginning to respect film music a little more.
+Balls McGee Composers for movies or games are way too underestimated. Just look at this theme, or at Schindler's List, Lord of the Rings, etc. So many good composers out there, play their music!

+Balls McGee Try The Ipcress File theme by John Barry (most famous for the scores for countless James Bond films...) and also let's not forget Henri Mancini!
Well very often the film music is originally played by top orchestras...
I think movie (and increasingly, video game) soundtrack composers pretty much _are_ the modern-day equivalent of classical composers.
Music of my childhood. Raiders of the Last ark was the first movie my father bought for home video and I watched.
I don't think I've seen orchestra performances where the performers are visibly enjoying playing. Lots of smiles in this one.
I would hate to play for a monarchy too. But a hero...
It happens fairly consistently when orchestras perform John Williams' music! I was lucky to see him conducting the LSO many years ago and I've never seen an orchestra having that much fun.
Please go watch the Danish national orchestra's recording of cantina band, if you want to see happy artists
I smile too when listening to raiders march almost everytime!
OK, a totally different kind of entertainment, but for band members enjoying just being there, IMO nothing beats ua-cam.com/video/uMPEUcVyJsc/v-deo.html (sorry, I couldn't find the full version now). But the musicians' enjoyment is one of the things I enjoy most about that piece.
It fills my heart when the conductor is having such a good time and so are the musicians, they’re all having fun
John Williams is the equivalent of a Mozart/Beethoven of our time.
Exactly ❤
He's even better
@@wattosoldier I don't know about all that.
@@wattosoldier what makes you say that even though you yourself know that it's not true
@@Yassine_Bouariss Tell me a reason why Mozart and Beethoven are better than John Williams
I love this conductor. He looks as if he is having a great time and I believe he transfers that enthusiasm to his players.
“THIS” conductor is Sir Simon Rattle!! And he’s one of the most famous conductors in the world!
Heart pumping performance.
@Tyler Jorge i'm still trying to find who asked
Instablaster...
i found you
Well, that's it, now I have to go watch _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ for the 27th time.
You are only at 27? Amateur :-D
for me it’s temple of doom!!!! here we go...
@@MrTanuki11 The Last Crusade guy here. "Tickets please!"
such terrible movies.
Bjorn Egan ok
One of the most iconic works of Williams. This one and the Jaws theme. Give me the willies!
The Berliner Horn Section will forever be one of my favorite sections in any given orchestra. Bravo Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker on such an amazing performance on a classic!
@Bender B. Rodrigues wdym
Leave it to the Horn players to wear the cool hats! :)
Exactly!!!!!! And seeing Sarah Willis bop her head to the pulse was cool too
William Lopez we usually refer French horn players as horn players , it is actually fine to say that
And Sir Simon without the Bullwhip at his side :-)
Hier passt einfach alles, Top Orchester, super Dirigent und ein wunderbares Stück Filmmusik.
William Lopez The horn is not a French instrument…
While it was made in Germany, the way the French used it popularized, and that's why it's called the French Horn
The French Horn section is pretty bomb. :)
They're called Freedom Horns in America.
Queen Elizabeth II ...No theyre not😂
The Horns are what makes this composition SO great in my opinion.
No they aren't . . . Still called French horns of horns in f
I play the French Horn
I love how (almost) everyone is smiling as they perform this piece.
Coś niebywale wspaniałego !!! Mnogość dźwięków podnosi włosy na skórze oraz przenosi mnie do środka historii która opowiada całą orkiestra!! Bravo !!! Bellisima!!!
John Williams is a treasure.
The inimitable genius of John Williams. This theme stirs the excitement of adventure in everyone.
Wow, I smiled when I saw this. So pristine and clean! See! One of the world's greatest orchestra's is NOT restricted to classical, avant guarde, or opera! Kudos to the Berliner Philharmoniker :)
It is quite fitting that one of the world's greatest orchestra's play one of the world's greatest composer's works.
This made me cry because of how beautiful it was played.

I'm an archaeologist, I'm investigating the ancient People of my country in the southeast of Mesoamerica, and this theme it remembers my childhood.
I adore how much the orchestra is enjoying playing this iconic score.
Love this theme! When I first watched the OG trilogy, I had the main theme stuck in my head for weeks!
You know when you look at todays movies you realise just how epic and masterful the old movies are. Hardly ever going to happen again
0:27 Makes me smile too. Every time. He looks so pleased.
Great and fun music, a "yeah baby" smile.
Almost all the players looked so happy or had smiles on their faces - how can you not be happy and smiling while playing this?
Everything you love, your love, your sadness, your joy, your memories, the words of your loved and valued feelings, music is always with us...
Love the hats! Bravo, horns!
crcr1 *bravi

I think we can all agree that John Williams is and always will be the KING of Film Music.
Wow. This is just SO profound. It makes you understand how beautiful music can make this world. Almost made me cry. AMAZING

I have sneak feeling that Sarah Willis or Stefan Dohr may have been the one with the idea for the horns to wear the hats!! Love it. Way to go!
+calihornplayer ,....I say Sarah!
I say Sarah too lmao
Sarah Willis... :-)
Everyone here saying sarah because she's probably the most internetfamous but don't underestimate the cheekiness of the rest of that horn section
Sir Simon Rattle has to be one of the greats. The way he has fun with the music and isnt afraid to show it
When you “see“ music coming out of the instruments is a completely different story and it’s beautiful
The couple at the end man, wow, what a love story.
Rattle's smile is always nice to see when you play something beautifully!
John Williams shouldn't die. Even heaven doesn't deserve a person like him.
It's amazing how it takes that much talent and musicians to put together this flawless piece. Truly incredible and pure musicianship
Love the musicians wearing the iconic Indy hats!
Wonderful, energetic performance. The orchestra and conductor are obviously enjoying themselves.
My late grandmother loved the Indiana Jones Franchise and had the biggest crush on Harrison Fire. This brought me to tears. So beautiful and memorable
I love the musicians wearing Indys hats! The music is just heavenly....
Williams is absolutely Brilliant. He's up at my top of moderns with Silvestri, Zimmer and Paledouris. I can't pick a favorite.
Such an amazing score, and such a positive vibe to the main section and then of course the romantic section that tells a story of its own.
Love how everyone is enjoying this music - including the bass players......!
I don’t know why some of the worlds best musicians playing Indiana Jones is all i ever wanted, but it is.
Maybe cause it's one of the best themes ever written..
I always get Goosebumps when i listened to this.... And visualize that Harrison ford, Sean Connery and His friends runs their horses through the passage in front of Petra... Damn i love this.
Love the hats on the horn players!!!!
Se ven tan felices el director y los músicos, interpretando esta melodía, muchas gracias por compartirla!, me alegraron el día. :)
Je ne me lasse pas d’écouter cette brillante musique de film... Magnifique interprétation du Philharmonique de Berlin !👏👏👏
Every single enjoy it!!
I absolutely love watching Sir Simon Rattle conduct.
Outstanding job by Sir Rattle and the members of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra!!
Hello how are you doing today Anne
Amazing!!! My favorite orchestra... my favorite director!!!
Greetings from Venezuela!!!
Love the hats❤
Stunningly Played and everyone is having fun!!!
All the smiles made me happy. I’m young but god when my bud introduced me to this series I watched everyone movie like 20 times lol. I’ve been playing in the school orchestra for 6 years now, can’t wait to do some work like this

Danke John Williams, dank ihnen mag ich auch Beethoven, Bach und all die anderen. Und das alles weil ich 1977 meine erste LP gekauft habe KRIEG DER STERNE, so hieß der Film damals.
My dream is to meat John Williams and say that I love all of his music
Being turned into meat isn't very healthy
Matija Narobe no to you know get to see him and talk
u want meat John Williams?
Holy shit! That's a cruel way to show John Williams all your love. Resist the dark side. We still need him! Just don't do it...
*meet
The smiles while playing makes this so much more enjoyable
It's like every musician is having glimpses of their childhood again.
Goosebumps! I grew up watching Indys adventures!
Love it. Been a fan of John Williams' music since I first heard his work in the original Lost in Space TV series.
Today, I watched the last movie of Indian Jones series by Harryson Ford and listen to Music now. I am so touched when thinking of movie.
Plz do not take ages.. Harryson Ford.
Now THIS belongs in a musuem.
@Lachlan South that's the joke 😂
Great stuff from a great composer, great orchestra, and great conductor. It's always so cool to see the players clearly enjoying themselves while still playing at an astronomical level.
John Williams is by far, IMO, our greatest living composer. It's not difficult to hear how Richard Strauss and Mahler influenced the Maestro.
The musicians themselves and the conductor contributed to how much I enjoyed this!!! Thank you!
Hello Mary how are you doing today
There is no Indiana Jones without John Williams.
john williams and his sountracks-always great music!
2:03 that transition: goose bumps! Beautiful

You should revisit the games on pc. They still bring great fun, especially for a Indy fan
The magic of John Williams: see how the germans play it and feel it… just wonderful!
02:05 Thought it was Han and Leia's theme for a second.
+Chris Lee well John Williams loved to copy... even himself
+Chris Lee Yeah, I can relate to that. Gorgeous theme. It is called 'Marion's Theme' BTW...
Well, Indy and Marion ARE kind of like Han Solo and Princess Leia, except their kid didn't turn out to be a Kylo Ren, thank goodness.

This song is amazing 😃
During my time serving in Berlin I had the pleasure of performing in the Waldbuhne, it is a fantastic venue.
this is as great as any music ever composed, in the hands of a word class conductor and orchestra ...
How can you not smile during this
This is amazing! I love Star Wars and Indiana Jones! I’m playing this on flute in my concert! I’m so excited!
