Featuring musicians Vladimir Ashkenazy, Andreas Schmidt, Antje Weithaas, and Michael Sanderling, this release is available for the first time in the US. An improved version of Christopher Nupen’s Schubert DVD, this release features two of his most famous films and was nominated at Banff and won the Czech Crystal at Golden Prague. The Trout, which is quite possibly the most frequently broadcast classical film in the history of television, was filmed in 1969. At the time of release, the protagonists, (Daniel Barenboim, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Jacqueline du Pré, and Zubin Mehta), were unknown to the general public. Since then, they have become some of the most memorable musicians of our time.Franz Peter Schubert: The Greatest Love and the Greatest Sorrow is a film ten years in the making that does not profile the life of Schubert, rather the incredible achievements that he accomplished in the last 20 months of his life, after the death of his idol, Beethoven.
