Everyone knows the Indiana Jones theme, with its strident rhythm and sparkling trumpet. But we sometimes forget that the composer John Williams also wrote specific themes for the female characters who accompany the archaeological adventurer in Steven Spielberg's legendary saga. In 1981, for Raiders of the Lost Ark, the post-Romanticism of Marion's theme (played by Karen Allen) provided a nice counterbalance to the relentless triumph evoked by the main theme. In this fifth edition, John Williams (91 years old!) has written a theme for Helena, Indy's goddaughter, played by Phoebe Waller Bridge. It is very aptly brought to life by violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, who feels like the musical embodiment of this tender, almost cerebral melody. The German musician had already worked with Williams in 2017 when he dedicated her a violin concerto, entitled Markings. As for the rest of the soundtrack to this Dial of Destiny, John Williams seems to have had a lot of fun referencing the golden age of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. Rather than playing on the traditional music of the countries featured in the film (Morocco, Greece, Germany), he drew inspiration from the great scores of adventure films by Max Steiner, Miklós Rozsa and Erich Korngold. The result feels much like a tribute that will appeal not only to nostalgic fans of this cinema, but also to those who have been following the archaeologist’s adventures since the early days of his momentous career. ©Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz
