I love how everyone was visibly enjoying playing.

[khadorstrong]

Music of my childhood. Raiders of the Last ark was the first movie my father bought for home video and I watched.

[ryanbarclayguitar]

It's ridiculous how close this sounds to the recorded version

Edit: guys. I know they’re actually playing it. I know this isn’t playback. I’m a musician too. I’m simply complimenting these wonderful musicians on how closely they captured the original sound and timbre.

[Calvertron]

John Williams is the equivalent of a Mozart/Beethoven of our time.

I love how everyone in the comments is giving all the love to the French horns. I’m a French horn player so it makes me feel all warm inside when someone actually appreciates the special sound it gives to any John Williams piece.

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.

[argyldeathbrand]

I don't think I've seen orchestra performances where the performers are visibly enjoying playing. Lots of smiles in this one.

Coś niebywale wspaniałego !!! Mnogość dźwięków podnosi włosy na skórze oraz przenosi mnie do środka historii która opowiada całą orkiestra!! Bravo !!! Bellisima!!!

[Danimal]

Well, that's it, now I have to go watch _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ for the 27th time.

[celiamenes]

Love this theme! When I first watched the OG trilogy, I had the main theme stuck in my head for weeks!

[BosomFemme]

Leave it to the Horn players to wear the cool hats! :)

[jamesrobison]

The French Horn section is pretty bomb. :)

[Herakles]

I love this conductor. He looks as if he is having a great time and I believe he transfers that enthusiasm to his players.

[ranfenmu]

It fills my heart when the conductor is having such a good time and so are the musicians, they’re all having fun

[robertwest]

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!!

[andralee]

One of the most iconic works of Williams. This one and the Jaws theme. Give me the willies!

[harisdevedzic]

You know when you look at todays movies you realise just how epic and masterful the old movies are. Hardly ever going to happen again

[diggydumbo]

The year is 2008 and I'm playing lego Indiana Jones

[canajaneh]

I love how (almost) everyone is smiling as they perform this piece.

[douglastyrrell]

The inimitable genius of John Williams. This theme stirs the excitement of adventure in everyone.
