Description
British filmmaker Phil Grabsky returns to the successful formula of his award-winning documentary In Search of Mozart, using some of the world's greatest music to recount the life of composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Called by critic Philip French "one of the finest films about a great musician I have ever seen," In Search of Beethoven brings together the world's leading performers and experts to reveal new insights into his genius. Performers and interviewees include Gianandrea Noseda, Sir Roger Norrington, Riccardo Chailly, Claudio Abbado, Fabio Luisi, Frans Brüggen, Ronald Brautigam, Hélène Grimaud, Vadim Repin, Janine Jansen, Paul Lewis, Lars Vogt and Emanuel Ax, among others. Drawing from more than 50 different performances, director Grabsky marries each piece of music chronologically with Beethoven's biography and letters. This film for music-lovers delves beyond the popular image of the tortured, cantankerous personality to reveal someone quite different and far more interesting. Narrator: Juliet Stevenson. Producer/Director: Phil Grabsky. (UK 2009) 138 min.More Info
