Different world over there, though. Can you imagine an orchestra over here deliberately putting pressure on new members in order to see if they can cut the mustard. Maybe some do, but not the ones I play with. I agree though, a very good documentary, although not portraying a very good image of your average classical musician. I think most would settle for a nice life playing with nice people and nice orchestras, rather than classical music stardom, but becoming pretentious, pressurised all the time, and taking everything so seriously. Or maybe I am wrong, any thoughts?
