This is a remarkable, sometimes surprising film that captures a lot of usually indescribable elements of what making music means to and feels like to the musicians. It breaks down a lot of stereotypes about classical musicians and shows them as very human, multidimensional individuals who just happen to have this gift, passion, and occupation.
As a musician and teacher, I have continually searched for resources that can enlighten students and the public about what makes music work and why we do art of any kind. This is my new favorite, joining "Sunday In the Park with George."
If you are a musician, might like to become one, or are trying to understand the one you live with, this is a must see. This is a very entertaining, yet informative documentary with no Hollywood ending (see "Mr. Holland's Opus) to screw it up.
Bravo!
