The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic (Photo by Oliver Hermann)
The number 12 has an ancient and mystic significance: twelve signs of the Zodiac, twelve months in the year, twelve apostles — and the list goes on. We hear from a musical twelve, in The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic (actually there are 13 cellists, but only 12 play together at any given time). They perform a John Williams track, "Catch Me If You Can," from their album of movie music, As Time Goes By
