Uniform Title: Tamalito

Content: "This music goes straight to the heart ... because it deals with things that affect us all directly, such as home, family, the joy of love and the pain of love," asserts the Peruvian tenor in describing this concert program dedicated entirely to popular music from Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. Accompanied by an instrumental ensemble composed of piano, guitar, trumpet, and percussion, Juan Diego Flórez offers us a bouquet of some of the most touching songs from the Latin-American repertoire, adapting his world-renowned bel canto voice to music so close to his heart

Content: A passionate composer and conductor, brilliant pianist, dynamic pedagogue, and de facto American ambassador to the world, Leonard Bernstein was without a doubt of the most influential classical musicians of the 20th century. In this documentary portrait, Bernstein's children (Jamie, Alexander, and Nina) and colleagues (Gustavo Dudamel, Kent Nagano, Marin Alsop, Christoph Eschenbach, Norman Lebrecht, among others ...) reminisce about this larger-than-life man of near-universal appeal. A colorful character with a complex yet endearing personality, Leonard Bernstein had a talent for wowing young fans with his flamboyant style and flair for teaching. From the conductor's podium to the piano to the silver screen, his creative gifts knew no limits. In the 1950s, he fascinated a generation with his wildly popular television shows Omnibus and Young People's Concerts. From the podium, he offered fresh musical interpretations that proved to be an incredible boon for classical music, reviving interest in particular in the music of Gustav Mahler and advocating for the music of American composers. In his compositions, he skillfully blurred the line between popular and art music, producing masterfully-written, highly accessible works like the musicals On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide, and West Side Story.

Uniform Title: Concertos piano, orchestra K. 453 G major

Content: In the Spring of 2014, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, acclaimed and world-famous early music innovator and authority, and Lang Lang, a superstar pianist of stunning virtuosity and freeƯwheeling musical instincts, took over the Wiener Musikverein for an unprecedented musical meeting-of-the-minds between two very different artists. Together with the Wiener Philharmonik Orchester, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Lang Lang record the Mozart's Piano Concertos No. 17 in G major K. 453 and No. 24 in C minor K. 491. This film documents those recording sessions, offering revealing insight into the creative processes of two of today's most distinctive and influential musicians. Both artists found the collaboration to be rewarding. For Lang Lang, "every session with [Harnoncourt] is like a masterclass. He just gave me everything from his heart, and that direct connection in music-making is the most important inspiration for me". Nikolaus Harnoncourt reflected that, "It's rare to find someone who is so open-minded ... I can only work with soloists who are ready to develop a concept together with me, and very seldom have I experienced a reading of the work that developed so quickly."

Uniform Title: Vagiorko mai

Content: Framed by the tranquil beauty of a forest near Berlin, Khatia Buniatishvili gives a recital of pianistic masterpieces dappled by the shade of verdant ferns and leafy canopies. As a special treat, her older sister Gvantsa joins her for four-handed works by Dvořák, Brahms, and Piazzolla. Described as a "force of nature", Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili takes her art into the wilderness with this concert. On a wooden stage, she sits in an earthy concert hall performing works of particular meaning for her, and beloved by audiences the world over. From Debussy's Clair de Lune to Ravel's La Valse, from Stravinsky's Petrushka to Piazzolla's Improvisations on Libertango, Buniatishvili demonstrates her wide palette of expression and lyric approach to her instrument. Interspersed with the music are intimate interviews of the artist herself in which she discusses on her musical upbringing, her career, and her impressions of the pieces she has chosen to include in the program.

Content: This documentary explores the political role of classical music in Germany from the end of World War II to the fall of the Berlin wall. "In my opinion, comrades, we really should end the monotony of this Yeah, Yeah, Yeah or whatever they call it" (SED General Secretary Walter Ulbricht about pop music). As classical music was considered politically harmless in the former GDR, its education was highly encouraged. The regime quickly discovered its great potential for generating valuable cultural exchange -- as well as much needed hard currency. Classical music "made in the GDR" became an export hit for the regime, thanks to, for example, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and renowned artists like Kurt Masur, Peter Schreier, Franz Konwitschny, Kurt Sanderling and Theo Adam. Through case studies of individuals who lived under the system, 'Symphony & Socialism' explores the fates of both the privileged and the non-privileged, and delivers insight into the influence of the political system on artistic life. The film includes interviews with contemporary witnesses both from GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG)

Uniform Title: Concertos piano, orchestra no. 1, op. 11 E minor

Content: One of the most groundbreaking recordings of 2017 was Daniil Trifonov's interpretation of Chopin's Piano Concertos with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra led by Mikhail Pletnev. Get a glimpse into the recording and performance process with Christian Berger's recent documentary. The collaboration of conductor-pianist-composer Mikhail Pletnev with young virtuoso Daniil Trifonov makes for an unusual pairing: both pianists and composers, both Russians, yet with incredibly different life experiences and personalities ... Trifonov is one of a group of brilliant young pianists who have won big prizes on the international competition circuit and gone on to lead a high profile touring concert career. Pletnev, who passed by the same stage, went on to develop an international career as a conductor and composer. With their most recent project, Pletnev has reorchestrated Chopin's concertos (beloved but recognized as occasionnaly lacking in sophistication in their handling of the orchestra), and he leads the Mahler Chamber Orchestra with Trifonov as soloist in their performances and a series of recordings. Learn about the incredible process and go behind the scenes in recording sessions and live concerts

Uniform Title: Concertos piano, orchestra no. 1, op. 11 arranged Chopin E minor

Content: Daniil Trifonov's recent recording of Chopin's First and Second Piano Concertos in Mikhail Pletnev's newly reorchestrated versions comes to life in this spring 2017 performance at the Konzerthaus Dortmund. Trifonov is joined on stage by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under Pletnev's accomplished baton. Chopin composed his two piano concertos nearly simultaneously in 1829 and 1830 at the tender age of 20. Although they resemble each other in terms of form, spirit, interpretation, and orchestration, the two works represent each in their own way the young composer's genius for melody, color, and pianistic virtuosity. Even so, the concertos show their composer's age and experience when it comes to orchestration: though competent, the handling of the orchestra is typical of the time period, and offers little that could be considered truly innovative. This has led numerous composers to attempt reorchestrations of the two pieces over the years, with Mikhail Pletnev's recently efforts fitting into that practice

Note: The Chopin concertos have been re-orchestrated by Mikhail Pletnev , Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 21 / , Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11 / , Fantaisie-impromptu in C-sharp Minor, Op. 66 / , Carnaval, Op. 9 /

Content: A portrait of the great Hungarian conductor Georg Solti. Born in 1912, Solti began his career as a conductor after the Second World War, when Germany was on its knees. The film depicts this situation by including historical video documents. But soon, his success brought him on the most prestigious music institutions around the world, including the San Francisco Opera, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and eventually Covent Garden. Only a couple of hours before his death on the 5th of September 1997, he made his last corrections to his Memoirs. By using a narrator who reads excerpts of his autobiography, Solti is virtually given a voice in this film. The interview partners add an important dimension to the film. All of them were very well acquainted with Solti and have fascinating stories to tell. In regards to capturing performances, Solti was as productive as Bernstein and Karajan. The archives of the ARD network list about 120 TV productions, interviews, rehearsals. Further rich sources are the archives of BR, HR, SWR, ORF, Unitel and the BBC

Content: "You are my Heart's Delight", "My Song Goes Round the World", "My Happiness that Remained"--These evergreens are the musical expression of one of the most artistically rich and thrilling eras in European cultural history: Berlin during the last years of the Weimar Republic. Everybody who is anybody in the bohemian world was there. Every evening the producers of revues and operetta performances were wooing audiences. The production of records, radio programmes and films ran full speed. Each week was marked by a new hit song. Jonas Kaufmann pays tribute to this repertoire, which was especially written for tenors. Together with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under the guidance of Jochen Rieder, one of the most sought-after tenors of our time brings these hit numbers alive in the legendary recording studios of the Funkhaus Berlin, Nalepastraße
