Episode description

A behind the scenes all access pass to the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its musicians.

YolanDa Brown is joined by violinist Tom Eisner, horn player John Ryan and bassoonist Simon Estell to get inside one of the 20th centuries best-loved orchestral pieces, Sibelius’s majestic 5th symphony. Tom, John and Simon draw on their collective experience of playing this piece many times with many different conductors and reveal all manner of insights about the score, the rehearsal process and what it feels like to perform. And just how do you conduct the famous ‘hammer blows’ at the end? Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
