The Great Composers: Frederic Chopin (2 CD+DVD)

Freely inspired by the life of the great Polish composer of piano music Frédéric Chopin and more specifically by his romantic liaison with the celebrated French novelist George Sand, this documentary style film is structured around two mature works by the musician and writer: 'Sonata for Piano and Cello' by Chopin and 'Story of My Life' by George Sand. The composer's music is brought to life on screen through a choreographic staging where actors and dancers, who are seen alternately by themselves or in the company of musicians, attempt to recreate, within a sumbolic décor, the universe inhabited by two lovers. Performed by Gabriela Montero, Carmen Picard (piano), Elizabeth Dolin (violoncello); directed by Phil Comeau.
