Yuri Bashmet: Playing & Teaching (the Viola)

Boris Baraz, Ksenia Bashmet, Claire Bobij, Andrei Gridchuk, Mikhail Muntian, Danilo Rossi, Orchestre des solistes de Moscou-Montpellier

Sonate Arpeggione / Sonate BWV 1001 / Sonate op. 120 / Lachrymae / Der Tod und das Mädchen D. 810 / Trio no 5 op. 114

A movie proposed by François Manceaux & Olivier Bernager, directed by Jacques Deschamps.
Private music lessons: twelve hugely influential programmes broadcast by French television between 1987 and 1991.
The guiding principle for Olivier Bernager and François Manceaux was to capture the art of the leading performers of our time, live in concert but also and above all in a teaching environment. This film recounts the trajectory of a supremely gifted violist and turbulent artist, heir to a uniquely Russian tradition of interpretative rigour which he is seen passing on to his pupils here. Yuri Bashmet: an explosive mixture of severity and sensitivity which reaches the heights of musical sublimity!
