I love how everyone was visibly enjoying playing.

[@iannickCZ]

They are trained, same s we are learning looks nice on public performance :D

[@tonfiselier1818]

iannickCZ Wow, we have cynic here...

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

+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."

[@ProactiveYellow]

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.

[@CaptainM792]

Maybe the director told them to watch the Indiana jones before performing it.

[@BosomFemme]

Leave it to the Horn players to wear the cool hats! :)

[@usamahBlackLove]

Exactly!!!!!! And seeing Sarah Willis bop her head to the pulse was cool too

[@wymanko5299]

William Lopez we usually refer French horn players as horn players , it is actually fine to say that

[@algoy001]

And Sir Simon without the Bullwhip at his side :-) Hier passt einfach alles, Top Orchester, super Dirigent und ein wunderbares Stück Filmmusik.

[@joshmyers5639]

William Lopez The horn is not a French instrument…

[@curtishance9707]

While it was made in Germany, the way the French used it popularized, and that's why it's called the French Horn

They're called Freedom Horns in America.

The Horns are what makes this composition SO great in my opinion.

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!

[@khadorstrong]

Music of my childhood. Raiders of the Last ark was the first movie my father bought for home video and I watched.

[@ggarzagarcia]

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 :)

[@adam4757]

It is quite fitting that one of the world's greatest orchestra's play one of the world's greatest composer's works.

[@starofthestory7741]

I went to a strict catholic school. When we had a field day we went to the St . Louis Symphony Orchestra. While all the other kids was smacking each other around; I was the only kid enthralled by the symphony. The nuns watched me. Found out later that my uncle had a master degree in music and had an orchestra at Wash University. 😮 WoW

[@robertwest6350]

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!!

[@sixanium]

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.

[@kevbrix9686]

He still is to me at 26

[@markfox1545]

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?

[@gonzobandito]

​@@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

[@leonardoregalado7076]

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 think we can all agree that John Williams is and always will be the KING of Film Music.

[@mnirwin5112]

Love the musicians wearing the iconic Indy hats!

[@juliayplays]

This is the most underrated movie soundtrack

[@lymanmj]

John Williams is by far, IMO, our greatest living composer. It's not difficult to hear how Richard Strauss and Mahler influenced the Maestro.

[@ohiyotrippole6645]

Williams is absolutely Brilliant. He's up at my top of moderns with Silvestri, Zimmer and Paledouris. I can't pick a favorite.

[@josephcarlbreil5380]

Wonderful, energetic performance. The orchestra and conductor are obviously enjoying themselves.

[@cshorn14]

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!

[@MrPjacb15m]

+calihornplayer ,....I say Sarah!

[@dylantharp87]

[@ryanbarclayguitar]

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.

[@KappaDoge]

the drums and the crowd are a give away at the beginning. just a very well balanced mix by the live audio guys.

[@Invai62]

The smiles while playing makes this so much more enjoyable

[@luchism6283]

I played 5 years in the high school band and the conductors kept the beat with their baton. They brought in sections of horns right on the beat with a quick point or swhoosh of the baton, or indicated with a nod of their head. Professional conductors seem to be all over the board with their motions. Maybe in rehearsal the conductor is less animated? I'm not complaining as it obviously works magnificently, I just don't understand how it does. I wouldn't even be able to come in on the starting beat.

[@jorgedosreisreis1793]

This is my movie favorite, i'am 50 years and to me is wonderful.

[@ianrob4760]

this is as great as any music ever composed, in the hands of a word class conductor and orchestra ...

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

Isn't John Williams American and wasn't it an American orchestra that played the original score?

[@balduir5259]

Queen Elizabeth II "silently pulls out a silenced luger p08" no one will ever know ...

[@RyderSpearmann]

Yes and probably no. It was likely to have been the London Symphony Orchestra. Of course, my original comments were about the Berlin performance of the work. It is a difficult task to reproduce art in a faithful way... a challenge the original work is not burdened with.

Great performance. I've always felt there is a Wagnerian sound to this particular John Williams arrangement. Though the tempo is bit different from what Wagner composed, I can't help but feel Wagner would enjoy this composition.
