Great Concert Selections!

Warning: Spoilers
Aldous, Brave New World, and then this?? I was completely enthralled with this storyline given my penchant for classic orchestration. I attend many concerts at Disney Hall in Los Angeles which represents the finest of acoustic accommodations. I rarely get to see and hear such selections of fine composition on screen and was delighted to see a young boy attempt a conductor's role. I wondered how he prepared for his scenes, they were almost convincing but the prodigy label prevented any realistic interpretation.

I found the ending endearing but abrupt expecting this to be a true story ala Mozart. Fine job of portraying close family interaction, social climbing, boy meets big world, and man finds strength to save a life.

High recommend for an account of how to interpret musical scores and a sneak peak behind the curtain of conductor presence.
