In honor of the Star Wars holiday "May the Fourth," Deutsche Grammophon has posted a video of composer John Williams directing the iconic Vienna Philharmonic through a riveting version of his "Imperial March."
The footage comes from last January, when Williams served as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic for the first time, presenting a range of his works, including Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., the Harry Potter series and others.
