TRIP TO ASIA with Sir Simon Rattle + The Berlin Philharmonic

Description

Documenting the Berlin Philharmonic's tour of Asia, including their first performance in China since 1979, Thomas Grubes fascinating film offers privileged access to one of the worlds premiere orchestras. More than a mere travelogue, TRIP TO ASIA: QUEST FOR HARMONY is an exploration of what it is like to be a member of a world class orchestra, from the point of view of seasoned veterans, probationers and, leading them all, Sir Simon Rattle. The fragility of egos, the pain of insecurity and the nervousness of awaiting acceptance are balanced against the thrill of being a part of history and the rare opportunity of transcending the performing environment and achieving a moment of grace through music. An insightful, honest and thrilling documentary, TRIP TO ASIA is a celebration of music and the musicians who perform it. Now available on DVD.
