Rhythm is it!

Raramente ha tenido un documental sobre música clásica tanta resonancia y ha recibido tantos premios como la película Rhythm Is It!, que se ha proyectado en cines de todo el mundo. Aquí no se trata únicamente de gran música del pasado, sino de temas que nos afectan a todos: ¿cómo desarrollan los jóvenes sus talentos? ¿Cómo puede cambiar la creatividad todas nuestras vidas? Hay además fascinantes escenas de danza y música grandiosa, interpretada por la Filarmónica de Berlín bajo la dirección de Sir Simon Rattle.
