Never mind the awkward writing (in translation from the probably awkward
French original), check www.Medici.TV for these upcoming programs:
Memoirs from Beyond the Grave of the greatest pianist of
all time. At the end of his life, Sviatoslav Richter agreed
to talk in front of a camera to Bruno Montsaingeon and to
recollect his beginnings. This stunning documentary film
is punctuated with fascinating archive footage.
A remarkable and mysterious star, for decades Martha Argerich
has lit up the pianistsa - ' firmament with her fascinating
aura. The only film on Argerich [not true if you consider
the joint film about her and Freire - JG]
Nelson Freire took a long time to come out of relative
anonymity to occupy his rightful place: one of the leading
positions in the galaxy of masters of the piano. Here we
see him perform at the Verbier Festival in 2007, a great
concert (Bach, Beethoven, Debussy and Albeniz), moving and
sincere.
PS: Once you are on the Medici site, it's not easy to find advertised
future programs on the calendar; best bet is to check back, and when
a specific program in being streamed (for a week), then it's front and
center. I tried PLAYLIST, LIVE, CATALOGUE to get to any of the promised
programs and no luck so far. Corrections, tips are welcome.
