Omnibus presents one of a series of documentaries featuring some of the world's leading orchestras
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
conductor Zubin Mehta
with Daniel Barenboim, Bhulamit Ran, the young Israeli pianist/composer, and members of the orchestra.

Filmed in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Judean desert and the open-air amphitheatre at Caesarea, and including extracts from Mozart's Prague Symphony, Beethoven's String Quartet Op 95, and Respighi's Pines of Rome.
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1936 by the Polish-born virtuoso violinist, Bronislaw Huberman, who called upon the Jewish musicians who were fleeing from Nazi Europe to join him in Palestine. The first concert was conducted by Toscanini. Despite the political and military unrest since then, the orchestra continues to survive, playing to capacity audiences.

"...an extraordinarily stirring documentary" (Daily Mail)
