[@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.

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.

[@diabolusagiosophis5341]

+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!

[@IanTheCameraGuy]

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.

[@adamleatherbarrow5153]

+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!

I think movie (and increasingly, video game) soundtrack composers pretty much _are_ the modern-day equivalent of classical composers.

[@iceflame9535]

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.

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.
