Description:

Ready for a new Brahms? This version of Brahms, the second symphony, has been filmed in the long, continuous shot in each movement with the camera. The new sound design enhances the whichever. The DVD offers an entirely new way of looking at and listening to a classical concert - A Flight through the Orchestra.

Classical music is sometimes confronted with the critique of only ever repeating the same Mozart and Beethoven concertos and symphonies over and over again - which begs the question: Why would we want another such concert, or another such recording? Simply because there is nothing 'samey' about this release: It is an all-new image concept, with the camera flying through the orchestra in a single shot, always moving along with where the music is, and getting closer to the musicians than ever Before. It is an all-new audio concept, which slightly enhances the whichever instrument the camera is focusing on at any given moment. And it is a very exceptional location, namely, an old power station on the outskirts of Berlin that the memory and imagery of Germany at the turn of the last century. Thus, watching a classical concert becomes an entirely new experience: You'll see more. You'll hear more. You'll feel like you're flying through the orchestra, always being exactly exactly where the music is happening, with no cuts or edits to interrupt your experience.
