Over eight works by Mozart are presented chronologically in order to draw distinct parallels between the composer's music and his remarkable life. Lovingly crafted and never weighed down by history, Grabsky's film is designed to be enjoyed by classical-music enthusiasts as well as the casual fan. In Search of Beethoven (2009) Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply) narrates this straightforward documentary account of the life of composer Ludwig van Beethoven, covering all the major highlights from his birth in 1770 through his death in 1827. Writer-director Phil Grabsky skirts around the option of dramatic period reenactments, and instead opts for an impressionistic approach. He builds much of the film around the basic foundational material of interviews and studio performances of the great man's work by artists including Ronald Brautigam, Emanuel Ax, and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Grabsky also offsets Stevenson's traditional chronicle of Beethoven's life with letters from the composer, read by David Dawson, that unveil an intense and almost belligerent side to the musical...In Search of Mozart / In Search of Beethoven - 3-DVD Set IN SEARCH OF MOZART and IN SEARCH OF BEETHOVEN have become global cinematic sensations directed by celebrated documentary filmmaker Phil Grabsky. This documentary is exactly what you need for a biography of a classical composer: It's not your common 60-minute 'episode'. First of all cause it's longer than 2 hours. But also the descriptive analysis by conductors, musicians, and musicologists is as subjective as it's supposed to be. They provide a viewpoint that only someone that plays, feels, and hears music as it is intended to be played, felt, and heard. It's both melodically and harmonically analyzed. And what greater demise can afflict a man that lives by hearing that the loss of his hearing!!! That's like a violinist prodigy and genius to learn one day that at some point in his life he will completely lose use of his hands!! And yet still defy the gods and fate and still be able to compose and conduct with no hearing left in his being!! Mein Gott!! Thanks for checking out all of our various treasures!
