Kinshasa Symphony
Label: CMAJOR Catalog: 709004 Format: DIANGIENDA; ORCHESTRE SYMPHONIQUE KIMBANGUISTEClaus Wischmann’s leisurely documentary follows the progress of the choir and orchestra as they prepare for a huge open air concert…the film is also about the inhabitants of Kinshasa. Martin Baer’s photography, Peter Klum’s skilful editing and Pascal Capitolin’s soundscape capture the chaos, overcrowding, mud roads, ancient vehicles and pitiful living conditions all too vividly. Required viewing for all in the affluent West who take part in group musical activities at any level. © 2012 Gramophone Read Price: $48.98 |
