John Williams
John Towner Williams KBE (* 8. Februar 1932 in Flushing, Queens, New York City, New York) ist ein US-amerikanischer Komponist, Dirigent und Produzent von Film- und Orchestermusik. Der mehrfache Oscar- und Grammy-Gewinner zählt seit den 1970er-Jahren zu den weltweit bekanntesten, erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten Filmkomponisten. Er arbeitete mit Regisseuren wie Steven Spielberg (u. a. Der weiße Hai, Indiana Jones, E.T. – Der Außerirdische, Schindlers Liste, Jurassic Park, Der Soldat James Ryan, A.I. – Künstliche Intelligenz, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can), George Lucas (Star Wars) und Alfred Hitchcock (Familiengrab) zusammen. Ebenso komponierte er die Musik zu den ersten drei Filmen der Harry-Potter-Reihe. Mit seinem Album The Berlin Concert erreichte er im Alter von 90 Jahren zusammen mit den Berliner Philharmonikern Platz Eins der deutschen Albumcharts.
