"As a child I always had music in my head, and I thought everyone had that," says conductor Simon Rattle. Already at 17, as a student, he conducted an orchestra in an extraordinary way, and at 25 he was appointed conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. In the years that followed he completely transformed the orchestra, turning it into one of the best in the world. Later on, he went on to conduct some of the world's most important orchestras: the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra. Today he is the conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. The film succeeds in conveying Rattle's captivating personality, his humor, and his commitment and passion for music โ it runs in his blood, and he tells of the magic it holds over him.
