Over four years, award-winning filmmaker Phil Grabsky traveled Europe interviewing renowned historians and musicologists to piece together a comprehensive profile of Chopin's life. Performances and insights from world-class musicians, including Daniel Barenboim, Leif Ove Andsnes, and Ronald Brautigam, reveal the genius of a pianist unparalleled in his generation.
Despite his groundbreaking fluidity and expressiveness at the piano, Chopin gave only 30 public concerts in his short life. Yet his music continues to fill concert halls worldwide, and his grave in Paris remains a revered pilgrimage site. Narrated by Juliet Stevenson and featuring RSC actor David Dawson voicing Chopin’s letters, this documentary captures the essence of one of history's greatest composers.
