BRAHMS
Since his induction with the Paris
Orchestra under the direction of Wolfgang
Sawallisch and followed by a live
recording of the Brahms Second Concerto
with Paavo Berglund and the London
Philharmonic, Francois-Frederic Guy has
progressively established himself as a
strong-minded character.
His passion for opera and symphonic
music coupled with a willingness to take
risks, lead him to choose, among the vast
ocean of the piano repertoire, the most
complex works, including Beethoven's
Hammerklavier sonata which he played
more than sixty times in public and
recorded twice.

BEETHOVEN
By the age of seven, Ludwig van
Beethoven was a child prodigy. By the
time of his premature death, 30,000
mourners turned out for his funeral. Today,
Germany's greatest composer is no less
than a musical legend.
From Bonn to Vienna, we examine his
remarkable music and bittersweet life of
the man who brought classical music into
the Romantic era – a true master who
continued to compose, perform and
conduct even after becoming completely
deaf.

BERLIOZ
BERLIOZ
In his music and his life, Hector Berlioz
was a passionate romantic. From his first
crush at the age of 12 to his last love at 61,
women were at the core of his inspiration
and his existence.
Largely self-taught, the irrepressible
genius of French Romanticism found his
greatest success in life beyond his native
land.
From Rome and Florence to Paris and
Nice, we follow in his tracks to reveal his
prodigious passion for music and more.
Along the way, we meet his biographers
as well as contemporary greats like
conductor Sir Colin Davis, the first man to
record the complete works of Berlioz.

BIZET
The composer of the world's best loved
opera died at the age of just 36 –
convinced that his work was a complete
failure. The letters and personal diaries of
Georges Bizet reveal a personality torn
between social acceptance and artistic
success.
It would be five years after his death
before Carmen returned to the Paris stage
to rapturous reviews. We travel to Paris
and Rome to follow in the footsteps of his
brief but productive life. In between we
follow the rehearsals for a production in
Orange, France.
The great composer's life is revealed by
his principal biographer and his work by
the contemporary singers, musicians and
conductor of the beloved Carmen.
