"Nobody conducts Brahms with as much originality and imagination as Leonard Bernstein. Nobody but Bernstein summons such warmth, humanity and sheer inspiration from the Wiener Philharmoniker." - USA Today
"Humphrey Burton captures the relationship these players have with their instruments and their music. The camera revisits them so frequently from one performance to the next, it’s like getting to know the secondary characters in a drama." - USA Today
