(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen,

for being with us tonight here in this magnificent hall

which is like a house of magic.

And I want to tell you what a privilege it is for me

to be here with you in this hall

stand in front of perhaps the world's greatest orchestra -

the Berlin Philharmonic.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

To be standing in front of this orchestra, for any musician,

however humble or great,

to be here with you for these few moments is truly a great honour

and a privilege.

And I'm so grateful for this invitation to be with you.

(APPLAUSE) Thank you.

I have never been to Berlin before,

I've always wanted to visit the city

and it is incredibly beautiful.

And I just give you a couple of impressions:

the weather has been gorgeous, these early-autumn days,

we've had sun.

And driving around the city, we see people on bicycles

and actually walking, in Los Angeles you don't walk.

There are freeways and cars, that's all we have.

And it is- the city is so alive and is present

and you have the great history of the area,

these magnificent buildings and monuments.

And I walked in the Tiergarten and I see all the little children,

gorgeous faces, and I think,

well, the future of this place is going to be fantastic and bright,

if we all do our jobs very well.

It's a fantastic place and I'm very happy and also honoured

just to be here in your midst.

To the music.

Here's a little suite from Far and Away,

which is a film some years ago with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

You'll here in this little suite an atmospheric theme

that describes the County Galway in the time of 1892,

when the film was staged.

And there's some action music which begins as a, kind of, a dance

which the village fiddler will lead us

and the orchestra will join in all of this a little bit later.

Then of course a love theme for the two young people,

played by Tom and Nicole,

and then finally the Donnybrook.

And the Donnybrook is the comedy fight and when you hear the cellos

and basses rumble over here, with all their notes and strength,

that's the beginning of the Donnybrook.

And here is Far and Away.

(APPLAUSE)

(SUITE ENDS)

(APPLAUSE)

Harry Potter, I'm happy to find, was as popular in Germany as elsewhere.

These amazing books and movies have been the...

..greatest British export, since the Beatles.

Which could be true. (APPLAUSE)

Thank you so very much.

Here are three pieces from Indiana Jones.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

We have- We have already made four Indiana Jones films

and as we speak, in London,

Harrison Ford is now shooting the fifth one.

So I think that's good news.

Because when I leave Berlin, I will go back to Los Angeles

in a few days and begin to write the score for the fifth film.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you.

So we have no resting.

The first of the three pieces is Scherzo for motorcycle and orchestra

but you will not see a motorcycle on the stage.

But the title is the poor composer's feeling, I'll explain to you.

This is a scene in the movie with Sean Connery and Harrison Ford

and they're on a motorcycle and they're being chased by the bad guys

and the piece you're about to hear is the piece that I wrote

for the choreography of that chase.

And then a few months later,

I went into the movie theatre to watch the film

and the motorcycle chase came along and all I heard were motorcycles,

I didn't hear the orchestra at all.

You can image the composer's bruised vanity.

So it's a treat for me to play it for you with this orchestra

without the distraction of the film. (LAUGHTER)

And the noise of the motorcycle.

And that's followed by Marion's theme,

Karen Allen, do you remember in the first film.

It was so great, and the action sequences,

as well as comedy. And then finally Raider's March.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Next is a piece called Elergy.

And it will feature our cellist, your cellist,

Bruno Delepelaire.

And I am delighted to have him do this piece for me.

I wrote it a number of years ago for two lost children,

and Elegy, a you know, is a- Well it can be a wish or a prayer

for condolences and the like.

To assuage the grief of people who have lost.

But it can be other things.

It can be a wish and a prayer for wholeness and forgiveness.

These emotions, of all the instruments we have,

are often best expressed by the cello, I think,

I love the instrument and I've written for it every time

I've had an opportunity to do it because I love the instrument

so very much.

And I hope you enjoy it. Elegy.

(APPLAUSE)

(SONG ENDS) (APPLAUSE)

Here are three pieces from the Star Wars collection.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

The first on is an Adventures of Han scene, a very active piece

for the orchestra.

Second piece is Yoda's theme, which goes way back.

And thirdly the processional and finale of the first film,

we have the processional in the throne room which you may remember

and then the end credits of Star Wars.

So here's Adventures of Han, Yoda's theme,

and the finale to the first Star Wars film.
