The concert that John Williams' gave on October 16th 2021 in Germany is now available through the digital concert hall platform of the Berliner Philharmoniker, which is the orchestra he conducted for this concert. Ola and I managed to catch the last few minutes of it on TV last week and it was [obviously] well worth a watch / listen
The whole concert can be found at https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/concert/53783 and requires an account to be accessed. Please note that an account comes with 7 days of free trial access before payment is required, so you should be able to watch it for free! |
