There are lots of videos of orchestras playing soundtrack music, some of higher audio quality than others. There’s one orchestra that specializes in film music — it’s the Czech orchestra Film Symphony Orchestra.

The director is Constantino Martinez-Orts.

Unsurprisingly, they play lots of John Williams music. They do sometimes go overboard with lighting effects.
