3: On Tour
The third documentary in the informal four-part series on the London Symphony
Orchestra follows the 107 musicians and their £350,000's worth of instruments on tour to Paris, Vienna and Frankfurt. The film goes behind the scenes with the orchestra and their conductor
Claudio Abbado as they rehearse, relax, worry about the Vienna concert and celebrate their successes. There's music from WEBERN. MAHLER and SCHUBERT, an appearance by Zubin Mehta and more unexpected glimpses into the habits and attitudes of orchestral musicians.
