Ambassadors of Music (de|'''Botschafter der Musik''') is a 1952 West German musical documentary film directed by Hermann Stöß.
Made in 1951, it charts the revival of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in post-war Germany under the leadership of Sergiu Celibidache. During the war the orchestra's concert hall had been bombed-out. The film portrays the Orchestra as part of a revived German culture, that had survived the Nazi years and was now presenting a positive image of the new West Germany to the people of Europe.[1]
