Review of Orchestra of Exiles (2012) by Jerry K — 14 May 2013
"Orchestra of Exiles" tells a remarkable, miraculous and thrilling story of the birth of the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and its visionary, talented founder, Bronislaw Huberman.
Director Josh Aronson skillfully blends archival footage with staged scenes with actors and added commentary by Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta, Pinchas Zuckerman, Joshua Bell and original symphony members and family members.
Tension is built as Huberman assembles top flight Jewish musicians from Nazi occupied Europe and gives them their ticket to freedom.
This is as unforgettable a documentary as "Watermarks" and "One Survivor Remembers." Bravo!
