Synopsis
A recording of the June 14th, 2009 performance at the Prague Congress Centre.
The project was produced by the Arts Institute in Prague as part of the international anniversary project Martinů Revisited 2009, recorded in cooperation with Czech TV.
This staging is significant not only for its artistic merits alone but also because it was the result of more than a year long collaboration which brought together children without any experience in the performing arts from several primary schools in Prague, students of the Duncan Centre Conservatory and dance and music professionals. The Prague Philharmonic also became a partner in the project.

Synopsis
Celebrate music with music! Bettina Ehrhardt’s film follows conductor Kent Nagano and the Orchestra symphonique de Montréal in its 75th season with an exceptional display of music and concert tours: From the Inuit in Northern Quebec with a concert for throatsingers and orchestra to Paris with Gustav Mahler’s Lied von der Erde, from the great symphonic tradition of Bruckner and Beethoven to one of the masterpieces of the 20th century, Olivier Messiaen’s opera Saint François d’Assise. Kent Nagano and his musicians share an artistic vision born out of the cultural diversity of Montreal, with its many cultures, languages and traditions. Kent Nagano’s talent for detecting poetry and music in every day urban life leads to surprising concerts. Kent Nagano and his orchestra have captivated the city.

Synopsis
Everything that you have come to expect from the main music theater of Berlin, the old standard German terms such as “accuracy”, “punctuality” and “exactness”, have turned out to be just stereotypes that concern the backstage staff only. No longer can German performances be thought of as only "exact", as everything that takes place on stage continues to shock the German public by its strong, provocative and extravagant performances.
In the film: Vladimir Malakhov, Daniel Barenboim, Nadia Saidakova, Ronald Savkovic
