Vladimir Ashkenazy in a series of legendary recitals, filmed by Christopher Nupen's camera.
A few days before the 75th birthday of one of our century's greatest pianists, we gather the exceptional archives in which, at the beginning of the 1980s, Vladimir Ashkenazy performs the Beethoven last five sonatas as well as milestones from the Chopin repertoire. Beethoven and especially Chopin are two composers which Ashkenazy never stopped performing and recording during his long-time career, from the year 1956 when at the early age of 19 he was awarded the second prize at Chopin Competition, until now. Go back in time and meet again the 40 year-old Vladimir Ashkenazy – the concert pianist who had not yet started a career as a world-renowned conductor.

In 1947 “Concert Magic” was filmed in Hollywood making it the first ever concert filmed for movie audiences. In addition, many short films were made to fill the space between the traditional "double features". They were also often used as encores when enthusiastic audiences demanded them and feature works by composers whom no one knew Menuhin performed. Among these encores is an especially valuable rarity, the violin concerto of Felix Mendelssohn. The length (ca. 25 mins) prevented it from inclusion in the film. This footage shows Menuhin’s very first recorded performance of the violin concerto under Antal Dorati. Even music specialists are unaware of the existence of this previously unreleased material! Also available: A Violinist in Hollywood (35'58): Menuhin speaks about the origin of the film and reminisces about events which transpired at the time of the film as well as his life and career. On the Encores (10'45): Menuhin comments on his playing technique - is reactions and commentsabout the pieces are very personal.
