When this happens in conjunctionwith a master orchestra, the result is truly memorable, as Vienna’sDie Presse writes.Following the custom of concert practice in the classical era,<strong>Buchbinder</strong> directs the orchestra from his seat at the piano,often with only a slight motion of the hand or body. This affordsa taut, electrically charged atmosphere, as well as an intimacyand transparence that are particularly well-suited to a filmedperformance. <strong>The</strong> camera has brilliantly succeeded in capturingthis unique feeling and in transporting it to the viewing public.“We are lucky that this is being documented [on film]”, writes DiePresse, “since the Viennese musician has reached a new high pointin his career”.WORLD SALES: C Major Entertainment+49-(0)3030306464mail@cmajor-entertainment.comPhotos: © ORF/Ali Schafler Design: luebbeke.com
