Jordanian pianist Karim Said, the acclaimed 24 year-old Jordanian pianist now based in the UK, surveys the extraordinary period of musical innovation that characterized the final years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Six key musical personalities are explored, reflecting the dramatic social and artistic changes that saw late Romanticism evolve into the contrasting facets of modernism and nationalism that came to dominate the new century. Mr. Said was the subject of a Christopher Nupen BBC film in 2008. ‘a wonderful and highly interesting program’ (Daniel Barenboim)
