The daughter of a struggling musician forms a symphony orchestra made up of his unemployed friends and through persistence, charm and a few misunderstandings, is able to get Leopold Stokowski to lead them in a concert that leads to a radio contract.

本DVD中精心而严谨的记录了20世纪中15位震鑠乐坛的指挥巨匠的轨迹：福特万格勒与柏林爱乐的华格纳、布拉姆斯与舒伯特，德奥传承的脉动在即兴的大师指尖脱出极具个人化标记的唯一图腾。
托斯卡尼尼在纽约的威尔第与雷史碧基詮释，则是迥然不同的呈示这一位维繫传统的巨人忠於绵密细节的完美主义表徵。华尔特的莫札特与布拉姆斯，让我们见证何谓流畅如水的自然，涌现的是不拘泥於既有架构的呼吸法则。史托考夫斯基的狂放恣意，卡拉扬的壮阔及唯美，伯恩斯坦如现代诗作的贴近时代律动，莱纳的精确驾驭及一丝不苟等，均在珍贵的影音史料中衝击观听者的前所未有体验。
