Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

When, in 2023, the New York Philharmonic presented a tribute to composer John Williams, Steven Spielberg shared the opening scenes of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark without its soundtrack. He then showed the same images accompanied by Williams' soundtrack performed live by the orchestra. "As if by magic," The New York Times then wrote, "the adventurous spirit of the film was restored." John Williams' music is an essential part of Spielberg's cinema and we will prove it with the Orquestra Gulbenkian conferring that extraordinary dimension to Indiana Jones' exploits.
