Editorial Reviews

DG presents John Williams in Vienna, the live recordings of the Hollywood legend's Vienna Philharmonic 2020 debut. Saying it's "one of the greatest honors of my life," he received a standing ovation before a single note was played. Sharing the stage with the famous orchestra and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, he performs iconic themes from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and other cinematic landmarks that have earned countless awards: 5 Oscars, 5 Emmys

A joy to watch & hear...

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I found this concert to be quite amazing at many levels. I go to a lot of orchestral concerts beginning in 1958(!) in many venues around the world. I have been inside the Gold Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna where this takes place but have never heard a live concert there. Most people will recognize it as the location of the annual New Year's concerts live from Vienna. Personally, I also have a number of Leonard Bernstein concert videos recorded in that location. John Williams with the Vienna Philharmonic may not be the most predictable combination in the music world, but it worked very well and there seemed to be more than mutual respect between conductor and orchestra. This was apparently Williams' first visit to Vienna (which was a little surprising to me). It came about, somehow, because the late Andrè Previn (with whom Williams had worked in Hollywood) introduced John to Anne-Sophie Mutter (Previn's wife at the time) and she apparently got Williams together with the Vienna Philharmonic (those details of that alliance are not clear). So he was scheduled for an earlier concert which he could not make due to health reasons and this one finally took place just before lockdown in January, 2020. The orchestra plays the music beautifully and Williams seems be be enjoying the entire experience. The audience is on its feet multiple times...including before the first note is played...and goes literally bonkers when he encores with the Imperial March (from Empire Strikes Back). So a good time is had by all. (European audiences are not nearly as prone to standing ovations as we here in the states.) The concert is very generous in length. Mutter plays about 8 pieces, I think, only one of which is on the CD (because the others were released last year on the CD "Across the Stars" which was recorded in Hollywood). Anne-Sophie seems as excited about the entire proceedings as anyone and attacks her parts with her usual virtuosic gusto. I have no complaints. To me it is touching that a living American composer can have such a following (and a very enthusiastic one, at that...) so far from home. John is apparently writing a violin concerto for Anne-Sophie, so I'll look forward to that...at a future date...I hope. He describes her as "the greatest violinist her country has produced in the past 100 years" ... I've followed her since she was a teenager and wouldn't dispute that assessment. Highly recommended all around.

The Blu-Ray has some music not on the CD, plus a conversation between Anne Sophie Mutter and John Williams. This is a treat because they've worked together, and are very relaxed. ASMutter asks JWilliams the kinds of questions you might ask. The audience in Vienna is remarkably quiet during the playing. The Blu-Ray has several audio options. Don't pass this up no matter how much of William's music you have.

John Williams Conducts The Vienna Philharmonic

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

When you put John Williams in Vienna, conducting their renowned orchestra, it’s magical. The concert was magnificent. Mr. Williams had the Vienna Philharmonic perform many of his iconic compositions from Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, E.T. to Harry Potter and Star Wars, and there’s a lot more. If I have any gripe, it’s that I wished he would’ve included his music from Superman and his infamous 2-note Jaws theme. Either way, this is a great concert from a giant in cinematic music, and it’s a great Blu-Ray to have. The audio is excellent. Plus, the package includes a CD of most of the concert performance.

How splendid. What a lovely performance by the maestro. Gorgeous blu ray. Splendid job on the audio.

Best rendition of the Imperial March i've heard in years.

It's a shame Anne Sophie-Mutter had to ruin the Harry Potter theme. No wonder they didn't include it on the cd.

Golden Legacy of John Williams Beautifully Recorded

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

Considering the prolific output of John Williams over the decades not only as a composer but also as a conductor on stage, it is surprising that there has not been any commercially available video recording of him conducting complete pieces of his own concert music...until now. Indeed a wait well worthwhile! And what a way to commemorate his achievements and contribution to contemporary classics than with this wonderful recording and long awaited collaboration with the Vienna Philharmonic.

These rescheduled concerts were held in Jan 2020 and John Williams' visit to Vienna was a cultural inspiration for the composer, orchestra and fans alike. Bringing home the classic tradition of American film music history of the likes of Steiner and Korngold back to its roots was a homecoming in its own right. John described the privilege working with the Vienna Philharmonic and playing in the Musikverein as an inspiration.

The selected programme includes the major film score themes as well as some subthemes, most in the full orchestral concert arrangements (Hook, Close Encounters, ET, Jurassic, War Horse, Jaws, Marion's, all Star Wars Tracks, Raiders) and a few arranged for violin as played by Anne Sophie Mutter (Harry Potter, Sabrina, Donnybrook, Eastwick, Cinderella, Tintin, Schindler's). The recording is beautifully done both in the video and audio format by the excellent DG team. The video includes the short anecdotal gems John Williams shares with the audience between pieces of his music, just like being in the actual concert itself. Full encores are included and notice he had a rapturous standing ovation even before he started playing! Thus the feel is very much a live concert, although the recording quality is first class with great acoustics of the hall well captured. Spacious, detailed and warm, the excellent engineers have done a great job capturing the nuances of the music encompassing the whole orchestra.

The Deluxe Edition comprises of a Blu Ray video recording of the whole concert and an audio CD. The CD only contains 13 (all orchestral versions plus one ASM track from Eastwick) of the 19 titles seen on Blu Ray and audience applause has been edited out so you can enjoy the music on its own. The Blu Ray has DTS HD Master 2.0, DTS HD Master 5.1 and Dolby Atmos 9.1.4. Also features a 27 minute chat between ASM and JW including his preparation for the concert, his visit to Vienna and music traditions grounding film scores. Also comes with a colour booklet with programme. Compliments to Michael Beyer for doing a great job following the music programme, players, conductor and capturing the electricity of the live concert plus audience reaction.

This video concert recording of the legend himself conducting his most well known pieces, in collaboration with one of the finest orchestras in world and played in one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world is a dream come true. The whole production is well worth its weight in gold. If you are a true fan then this is what you have been waiting for!

Highly recommended. A joyous collaboration and momentous concert of John Williams' legacy beautifully recorded and produced. Let's also hope DG would release it in 4K (if not 8K) in the future!

Grandioses Konzert in Wien

Reviewed in Germany on August 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Mit den Konzerten am Sa/So 18./19. Januar im Wiener Musikverein wurde ein Traum war, John Williams mit einem Weltklasse Orchester wie die Wiener Philharmoniker einmal live erleben zu dürfen. Die Atmosphäre im prunkvollen Goldenen Saal war grandios: Nachdem Williams die bereits für November 2018 angesetzten Konzerte krankheitsbedingt absagen musste, war die Vorfreude umso größer und eine unglaubliche Anspannung im Publikum zu spüren.

Der Klang des Albums ist einfach der absolute Wahnsinn. Das Album sehr gut abgemischt, das Klangbild sehr detailreich und plastisch. Die ausgezeichnete Akustik des Goldenen Saals ist wunderbar eingefangen worden. Positiv hervorzuheben sind auch die längeren Pausen am Ende jedes Titels. Dadurch bekommt jedes Stück mehr Raum. Insbesondere die Blechbläser sind mir bereits im Konzert positiv in Erinnerung geblieben: Die Kraft der 8 Wiener Hörner ist einfach enorm, zu hören am Ende von „Adventures on Earth“ oder im „Imperial March“. Auch die Trompeten und Posaunen haben mich sehr beeindruckt. Die Aufnahme vom Devil’s Dance (From „The Witches of Eastwick“) mit Anne-Sophie Mutter als Solistin ist ebenfalls exzellent.

Trotz der „patch-up“ Session nach Ende des zweiten Konzerts am Sonntag, wo nochmal ein paar Stellen aufgenommen worden sind um größere Fehler nachträglich reparieren zu können, sind leider an einigen wenigen Stellen immer noch Fehler verblieben. Der prominenteste ist wahrscheinlich am Anfang vom „Star Wars Main Title“ zu hören. Das ist ausgesprochen schade, ist diese Interpretation doch eine der Besten, die ich bis jetzt gehört habe und die es ohne Probleme mit der des London Symphony Orchestras aufnehmen kann.

Die kleinen Fehler können den Gesamteindruck des Albums jedoch nicht wirklich trüben. Die Interpretationen des „Imperial March“, „Jurassic Park“, oder „Luke & Leia“, um nur ein paar zu nennen, sind perfekt und der Rest ebenfalls auf sehr hohem Niveau.

„John Williams in Vienna“ bietet damit einen wunderbaren Querschnitt durch Williams‘ Schaffen. Was ein Glück, dass dieses historisch einmalige Konzert noch kurz vor Eintreffen des Coronavirus in Europa stattfinden durfte.

Epochales Musikereignis und ein Muss für Star Wars Fans

Reviewed in Germany on August 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

An sich schaue ich kaum Konzert-DVDs/Blu-rays und höre nur wenig Klassik. Aber die Kombination des Musikgenies John Williams mit einem der besten Orchestren der Welt (in einem Konzertsaal mit anerkannnt hervorragender Akustik) ist auch für mich interessant - vor allem als alter Star Wars Fan :-)
Und diese Aufnahme ist rundum gelungen. Sowohl akustisch als auch optisch. An sich gibt ja so ein klassisches Orchester nicht so viel her. Aber allein die Reaktionen von John Williams, der sichtlich davon gerührt ist, wie die Wr. Philharmoniker sein Werk darbieten, ist schlicht beeindruckend. Und irgendwie schafft es die Bildregie, auch sowohl die Professionalität aber vor allem die Begeisterung des Orchesters einzufangen. Als Fan interessierten und beeindruckten mich vor allem das Star Wars Thema sowie der Imperial March. Beide Stücke kenne ich sehr gut, und sie sind quasi perfekt (sehr nah am original, aber irgendwie besonders) vorgetragen - ein echtes Erlebnis (und dabei stehe ich den zig Neueinspielungen skeptisch gegenüber). Aber auch andere Themen (Indiana Jones...) machen Freude. Den besonderen Beitrag von Anne-Sophie Mutter kann ich ehrlich gesagt weniger würdigen, aber sie spielt auch sicher nicht schlecht, und ihr Gespräch mit Williams als Bonusmaterial ist nett. Nicht jedes Stück ist der absolute Renner (vieles kannte ich auch einfach nicht). Möglich, dass das Konzert für manche auch etwas Längen hat, aber schlecht sind auch die weniger bekannten Passagen sicher nicht und wers gar nicht aushält, kann ja vorspringen.
Habe nur in Stereo gehört. Auf der DVD sind auch ein 5.1 und sogar ein Atmos-Mix. Vor allem bei letzterem dürfte die weltberühmte Akustik des Wr.Musikvereinssaals noch besser zur Geltung kommen. Aber mangels Equipment ist das Spekulation.

Auch wenn wie gesagt das Bild echten Mehrwert bietet gibts auf der Blu-ray noch einige der Stücke als reine "Audiospur" und zusätzlich noch alles auf Audio-CD.

Wer Musik von John Williams mag oder einfach an mitreißenden Darbietungen klassischer Orchestren interessiert ist sollte sich diese Blu-ray unbedingt zulegen!

Fabuloso concierto de John Williams y la virtuosa Anne Sophie Mutter.

La música y la brillante interpretación de todas las piezas de Williams hablan por si solas.

Es la MEJOR INTERPRETACIÓN DE WILLIAMS.

Todas son magníficas, en especial el SOBERBIO TEMA "The Rebellion is Reborn" de Star Wars Episodio 8, la mejor secuela de Star Wars.

Recomiendo al 100% este brillante Blu-ray/CD, no hagas caso de los ignorantes que dicen que este concierto es mediocre o que Anne Sophie Mutter "destroza" la música de Williams, no tienen ni pajorela idea de lo que es un CONCIERTO.
