CHOCIEVA PLOWRIGHT YASINSKYY BLANCHARD MERCIER KATSARIS

Founded in 1987 the annual Rarities of Piano Music Festival in the North German town of Husum is a major event. Danacord has recorded every concert since the opening and each year released an album with the best from the concerts. All albums are among the most loved and sought after piano releases. Now, in 2016 the Festival celebrated its 30th Anniversary and a production crew made this film about the pianists, the people behind the festival and not least the audience and Husum town. We follow rehearsals and concerts with pianists Zlata Chocieva, Jonathan Plowright, Artem Yasinskyy, Johann Blanchard, Helene Mercier, and Cyprien Katsaris. Also included are interviews with founder Peter Froundjian, critics, and long time audience members, a visit to the Jeremy Nicholas talk show, the 30th anniversary reception and idiomatic all filmed with innovative camera work from executive producer Jan O. Meier.
