by master film-maker Tony Palmer. "Palmer is a master of the medium--he takes us into the minds of men of music and explains why they accomplished what they did." John Ardoin, The NY Times. Winner of over 40 international prizes for his work, British filmmaker Palmer is known for the depth, sensitivity, and beauty in his films.
Just as he was recovering from the hostility toward his early works and gaining renown, the Bolshevik revolution took place and Rachmaninoff was permanently exiled. Filmed in Russia, Switzerland and America, with stirring musical performances, this is a loving insight into the man & his music. 102 min.
