documentary series

VERDIS 'FALSTAFF'

SACRED SONGS | Placido Domingo
CHOPIN | Yundi Li
BACH CONCERTOS | Hilary Hahn
TANGO, SONG AND DANCE | Anne Sophie Mutter

Pure music pleasure and a thrilling look behind the scenes. Five journeys into the international world of classical music, to famous concert halls, opera stars, soloists and maestros, to be near them when the red lamp begins glowing and artistry is eternalised.

Five of Deutsche Grammophon’s important recording projects. Each in its own right is a tale of artistic passion and precision, of self-reliance and shared experiences, of small gestures and big feelings in and around the recording sessions.
