A fine and artfully “composed” documentary film of the orchestra in performance. Shows a sensitive demonstration of the tone color of instruments from the orchestra’s brass section with excerpts from Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, the Nocturne from Mendelson’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, Wagner’s Tannhauser.
