Vivaldi's Four Seasons may be the most widely heard piece of classical music ever composed. As the composer Max Richter suggests, "The piece is part of the musical landscape, and a part of my daily life. I hear it in supermarkets, and it's always turning up in TV ads." He has approached his "Vivaldi Recomposed"-project as an admirer of Vivaldi, but no less importantly, as a composer. "Anything that a composer writes is part of a conversation with music that has gone before," he says. Max Richter's co-conspirator in the documentary on this project is Daniel Hope, the British violinist; and the orchestra "l'arte del mondo" with violinist Werner Ehrhardt, its artistic director.

On the occasion of Penderecki's 80th birthday in 2013, this film portraits the artist with a comprehensive 'work in progress' documentary: despite his growing age, Penderecki is still an unflinching and active composer and conductor. For one year, the author Anna Schmidt has been studying this world-famous artist, speaking also with high-carat companions: Anne-Sophie Mutter, Julian Rachlin and Janine Jansen, Mariss Jansons and Lorin Maazel; Johnny Greenwood ("Radiohead") and Andrzej Wajda. The film follows Penderecki from Kraków to Munich, from Vienna to Leipzig, and on various occasions to his country estate in Luslawice. And throughout, the composer reflects on the meteoric beginning to his career, unexpected turning points in his life and ingenious ideas. Thoughts, dialogues, extracts from his music and film scores, encounters and the natural world all condense to create a fascinating, multi-layered portrait including also very rare archive material.

Always armed with a melon, umbrella and wisecracks, he is not only on the outside the strangest fellow in French music history: Erik Satie was a composer, designer, church founder, PR pioneer and master of aperçus. In playful episodes the documentary "Satiesfictions" by Youlian Tabakov and Anne-Kathrin Peitz illuminates the phenomenon that is Satie: His countless ads evolve into real commercials and his drawings into cartoons. Interwoven with accounts by Satie associates and music experts, the film offers a unique insight into Satie's cosmos of word and sound, featuring divas, dogs, and children, pianists playing on pianos stacked atop each other or performers turning into "musical furniture".
