Trip to Asia: The Quest for Harmony

Year: 2008
Runtime: 108 min
Type: Movie
Genre: Documentary

Overview

Journey with the musicians of the Berlin Philharmonic and their conductor Sir Simon Rattle on a breakneck concert tour of six metropolises across Asia: Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo. Their artistic triumph onstage belies a dynamic and dramatic life backstage. The orchestra is a closed society that observes its own laws and traditions, and in the words of one of its musicians is, โ€œan island, a democratic microcosm โ€“ almost without precedent in the music world - whose social structure and cohesion is not only founded on a common love for music but also informed by competition, compulsion and the pressure to perform to a high pitch of excellence... .โ€ Never before has the Berlin Philharmonic allowed such intimate and exclusive access into its private world.
