Manufacturer's Description
A personal guide with Sir Simon Rattle

World-renowned conductor Sir Simon Rattle is your guide for this unique tour of the orchestra. For the first time on PC CD-ROM, a specially filmed performance gives you the best seat in the house for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s recording of Sir Benjamin Britten’s showpiece, "The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra".

  • Conductor’s Notes: Sir Simon Rattle shares notes on the performance, the composers, the music, the instruments and his own role as conductor.
  • Original Composition: to explore the art and inspiration of writing music, composer Judith Weir has followed in Britten’s footsteps and written a new variation on Purcell’s theme.
  • Photographic Diary: hundreds of specially commissioned photographs provide a visual diary of the orchestra in rehearsal and performance.
  • Where does the gong go? Explore the layout of the orchestra in a game for the ears as well as the eyes, while Sir Simon Rattle explains the development of orchestras from Purcell’s time to the present day.
  • Interviews: filmed interviews provide an insider’s view of music, conductors, performing and life in an orchestra.
