[@brucekuehn4031]

Many of the greats came over after fleeing Nazism. Korngold also wrote “serious” classical music for piano and orchestra but the movie studios paid most of the bills. Max Steiner was 9 years older than EWK and came to New York in 1914 working first on Broadway. Considered the father of film music he was also from Austria. His godfather was Richard Strauss and as a young man had private tutoring from Gustav Mahler. The “old timers” were a transition from the European classical tradition to American popular music for movies.

Miklos Rozca was a mentor and friend to John Williams and the composers of the monumental Ben Hur and other seminal works... I imagine it must have been heart breaking not to be able to squeeze a few bars in of his while including no fewer than four of his own soundtracks in.

[@brunoantony3218]

André Raymond Spellbound was included.

[@Android_Warrior]

25 people did. Idiots by the way.

I could listen to this all day!

At 44 years of age, just THIS alone still brings to the very surface of all my years - The young child - The very last of my innocence - From days better past when I believed in something so unbelievably larger than life itself. Even as I write this, I find tears welling up in my eyes and down my face because I often wonder what happened and where have those days gone?!

[@ianhaymton]

If I could just borrow the masterpiece of a mind from John Williams, just so I could feel and hear all of his genius and stunning ideas! 🙏🏻

[@JEON_CENA]

This man right here put my whole childhood into music and now that I am an adult, he's the one who got that magic to bring me back to that precious time.

[@magalydutra846]

Wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TiborFuto]

Unbelievably rich music. Even these fragments have so many things happening. Modulations

[@williamamely7038]

One of the best, if not THE best, composers of our lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

[@markharold2732]

Hello

[@johnpugh3348]

As we would expect from Williams, sheer brilliance

[@markharold2732]

Hello

[@vilmalugay5267]

Salute to Mr John Williams for conducting these movie themes by the most amazing composers of the original soundtracks. ❤❤❤❤

[@7927jackpark]

I heard my first Williams film score in 1969 (while watching The Reivers); over the years since I have become convinced one can never overrate the time spent in a theater listening to great movie themes composed for the films one is watching.

[@bonanzajoe]

John Williams wrote some of the most beautiful music this planet has ever heard. He has given me hours of pleasure and solitude.

[@MultiMam2]

Pour moi c’est le plus grand compositeur de musiques de films. Merci à vous Maestro. 👍🎶👌

[@SmileyRays]

I have a friend who loves John Williams' music.

[@johnlil2480]

He did DJ-ing with orchestra. Magnificent

[@TheMusicscotty]

Many greats in 5 minutes. Gorgeous arrangement by the undisputed master.

[@TheBatNick2024]

That was beyond exemplary. John Williams is a true legend!🎉

[@lintym]

Best of John Williams at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, superb, Conductor Lee Reynolds superb.

[@lintym]

I am going to a concert of John Williams music next month, so looking forward to it.

[@Martyprod2]

conducted by Williams himself or someone else ?

[@cheryldodd-marko9787]

Saw in person many years ago, ONLY ONE JOHN WILLIAMS....🕊🇺🇲💕

[@mcraig1969]

I love it that he saved the very best for the end. Tara’s Theme would still be recognized globally!

Excellent. Well done!!! Flawlessly.

[@kimliao8774]

Greatest musician for modern history, he accompanies the Americans to travel along the journey of greatness and glory.

[@johnfarley6865]

I love it when John Williams grins during the Jaws segment, that also got the biggest applause. That soundtrack made him a music legend. Here his arrangement of Patton and the Magnificent Seven are equally great.

[@mohammedalomari1998]

I can't hold my tears in front of this genius and sublimity

[@sebastianyamada6025]

I wish I could go back in all those precious days.

[@macart5429]

John Williams is the king of modern composers! This is truly epic. Probably the best medley ever written. The transitions flow like a river. The most notable and very smooth are: Casabalanca to Citizen Kane; Newman Fanfare to Star Wars, Psycho to Jaws, Out of Africa to Dr. Zhivago, Patton to Rocky, Cinema Paradiso to The Godfather, The Godfather to ET then Gone With The Wind.

[@josephroberts2192]

Very nice 👍

[@evifnoskcaj]

2002! Look at his huge arm movements and lively conducting! He's really slowed down and is just enjoying music and the moments now and that's so nice to witness. Anyway, what a gorgeous set of pieces, several of which he has composed, previously made award winning recordings of, and very much enjoys. That Godfather to ET transition was so smooth!

[@max8591]

I was thinking just the same about his movements =)

[@maryannangros8834]

Mr Williams did a fabulous jobs on arranging this medley

[@scottishjedi1522]

The transitions on this are amazing. From the fox fanfare going seamlessly into the Star Wars theme, and then Pyscho to Jaws to Pink Panther 😂
