The last of eight programmes about the career of conductor Simon Rattle.
Vienna Philharmonic
In 1993, Simon Rattle made his debut with this orchestra in Mahler's
Ninth Symphony- an experience which he later described as "the single most memorable moment of my musical life". Michael Birkett introduces this concert, talks to the orchestra's chairman - Professor
Walter Blovsky - and to members of the orchestra, and hears the views of a Viennese music critic.
