Trip to Asia - Die Suche nach dem Einklang

'Trip to Asia' follows the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (Berliner Philharmoniker) on an Asian tour. It's more of a documentary than a feature movie, with the emphasis on what it means to be a member of the orchestra rather than on pieces of music. Rehearsals and travel scenes are interspersed with interviews with musicians describing the highs, the lows and the demands of playing for one of the world's great orchestras. The conductor, Sir Simon Rattle, speaks of the tightrope that he must walk in extracting the best from his musicians without trying to dictate to them. Several of the musicians are on a one-year probation with the orchestra. At the end of the year the permanent members of the orchestra will vote on the probationers' future.
