Two musical legends shared the stage in 2021 — in a glorious debut, a few weeks before his 90th birthday, famed film composer John Williams conducted the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra for the very first time. John Williams - The Berlin Concert, captured live by Deutsche Grammophon during a series of sold-out concerts, presents some of the world's best-known film music performed by one of the world's greatest orchestras.

The soundtracks of John Williams are among the most popular in the history of film and have received numerous prestigious awards, including five Oscars, five Emmys, four Golden Globes and 25 Grammys.

"John Williams doesn't need the films, the films need him," wrote Rolling Stone after the concert, while Berlin's Der Tagesspiegel summed up the event as simply "one of those great evenings."

This once-in-a-lifetime event continues DG's celebration of the work of the multi-award-winning composer. The label's chart-topping John Williams in Vienna set the mark as the best-selling symphonic recording of 2020. John Williams - The Berlin Concert now complements that programme with a tracklist made up of additional repertoire and familiar favorites.

The album presents cult themes from Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Superman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and other milestones in film history.

The limited LP-set with two 180-gram vinyl LPs is presented in a high-quality gatefold with a noble gold foil look on the cover.
