THE SCHUMANN ENCOUNTER: Robert's Rescue
Simon Callow Stars as two of Robert Schumann's alter egos, Florestan and Eusebius, in this highly imaginative film by Andy Sommer, about Schumann’s fevered creative process; the film is presented along with a performance of Schumann's Symphony No. 2, conducted by Roger Norrington-- who also appears in the film(!)
Baritone David Adam Moore performs Part II ("Warrior") of composer David T. Little’s riveting evening-length multimedia event Soldier Songs, which combines elements of theater, opera, rock-infused-concert music, and animation; PLUS a probing interview with the creators of Prototype, a festival now being organized to showcase “opera-theater now”
Felice Picano selects an exquisite recital by tenor Ramon Vargas, recorded at Wigmore Hall in London, from Classical TV's extensive library of free videos. The recital features Schumann's Dichterliebe and Donizetti's "Una Furtiva Lagrima."
