The film traces the development of an exceptional musical talent from childhood to the beginnings of maturity. Our subject is Karim Said, whom we followed from the age of 11 to the age of 18 in six different countries. Karim Said was born in Amman where he studied percussion with his father and the piano with Agnes Victorovna (alumna of the Gnessin School, Moscow). He has been applauded by established musicians and juries in several countries and already won nine international prizes. His distinguishing characteristics are his naturalness, both in his music and in his personality, his humour, his intelligence and a total lack of pretence but, above and beyond these things, it is the way in which his music gets through to his audiences and touches people, that sets him apart.

This documentary film offers an intimate and compelling portrait of the life and achievements of the legendary pianist and master teacher, Rosina Lhevinne: her years of study at the Moscow Conservatory of Music, her marriage to famous pianist, Joseph Lhevinne, her devastation following her husband's death and her recovery and stunningly productive life from age 65 to 96. Recognized as one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century, Mme. Lhevinne was hailed as the greatest piano teacher in the world. Through her teaching on film, we witness her influence as a creative force that not only preserved the great 19th century Russian pianistic tradition but helped students go beyond themselves to develop their artistic individuality. We see how Mme. Lhevinne's incomparable teaching career flourished after age 65. And we hear extraordinarily beautiful performances from her solo career which began at age 75 and climaxed at age 82 when Mme. Lhevinne made her spectacular debut with the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. Through her playing, teaching, and unique personality we witness how Rosina Lhevinne brought her passion for music making and creative living to generations of students who are now among the great musicians of the world, such as John Browning, Van Cliburn, Misha Dichter, James Levine, Hiroko Nakamura, Kun Woo Paik, Daniel Pollack, Jeffrey Seigel and John Williams. Aside from musical considerations, the examination of Rosina Lhevinne's life and accomplishments is an inspiration to those who have traditionally viewed age in terms of "declining years" and diminished creative output. To those who associate bereavement of a mate with loss of identity, Mme. Lhevinne's story speaks of recovery, adaptability and new opportunities. The elderly may identify with her capability for late-in-life resourcefulness, energy and expressiveness. By focusing on one remarkable artist whose work flourished in the twilight of her life, we may enlighten society on the creative experience, the aging process and the possibilities that lie within both.

Maestro follows Grammy award-winning conductor Paavo Järvi and an array of brilliant musicians as they perform to sold-out music halls across the world.
Travel the globe with one of the industry's most recognizable names and discover a side of classical music few have ever seen. Järvi, who serves as the musical director of the Orchestre de Paris, takes us on a creative journey rich in culture and history. Interviews and an original score from an array of today's top musical talent round out a passionate film that reminds us what we call classical music was once the original revolution in music history.
The revealing footage captures the pressures of self-expression, the rush of performance, and above all, the power of a universal language.
Maestro is an intimate, unprecedented glimpse into the life of a renowned conductor and a vibrant, contemporary portrait of the world of classical music.
