Absolutely fantastic. Speechless! What a brilliant interpretation on harp of one of the best themes / music ever. If someone missed John Williams is one of the best composers off all time...

[@1978rharris]

He and Jerry Goldsmith: the modern masters of cinema music composition!!

Omg, this performance has just made my year!!! Xavier is one of the great musicians of this century. ☺☺☺

BRILLIANT HARPIST! Love this suite, his poetic command of the instrument, and HOW MUSIC CAN MOVE US TO BOTH TEARS AND ELATION!!! HAIL MUSICIANS! HAIL MUSIC!

Een van mn lievelingssoundtracks, ik zie dit nu voor de eerste keer en met die harpintro...de tranen lopen me over de wangen ongelooflijk!!!

[@Koldeman]

I never tire of this suite. This is one of the best arrangements/performances. Absolutely magical.

[@brandonskelton]

Harp improvisation... so beautiful, especially on John Williams :D

[@MyTroubadour]

Une version fort originale puisque la harpe remplace le piano. Une œuvre comme 'E.T' se prête merveilleusement à cet exercice. Cela dit...quel bel orchestre !!

[@batalhadosnerds-leliopendr1847]

Outstanding !

[@TheJohnkratos]

genial con el solo de harpa. me encanta

[@TheJohnkratos]

Lo puse hace 8 años, sigue siendo espectacular esta interpretación de solo de harpa y orquesta del e.t de John Williams

[@sascharossler2015]

wonderfull.......

[@1978rharris]

Fuck me!! :O just awesome!!

[@Faldraed]

It is an interesting arrangement. I feel the piece loses all of its steam at the end with the harp cadenza unlike other arrangements that don't pause the climax. If you have a chance to get to Boston to hear the Boston Pops Orchestra, especially with Mr. Williams who still comes once a year, that would blow your mind if you enjoy this orchestra.

The break at the end is to give ET's starship time to lift off and float away. It was completely unnecessary to fill it up with the improv.

[@batalhadosnerds-leliopendr1847]

6 persons without soul doesn´t like the video

[@melissawickersham9912]

They were 6 government agents who were chasing ET.
