Views of a free Orchestral Republic

Many music lovers consider the Berlin Philharmonic to be the best orchestra in the world. This documentary shows them up close. We follow their path from the orchestra's emergence at the end of the 19th century up to the present day, when Sir Simon Rattle inaugurated a new era in the ensemble's history. The orchestra's musicians and conductors tell the story of their work and convey an impression of how the Berlin Philharmonic reached their remarkably high standard. The portrait is rounded off with rare archive recordings and excerpts from great performances.
