This DVD contains three productions from Christopher Nupen’s
famously comprehensive portraits of leading performers: the
portrait film, Itzhak Perlman: Virtuoso Violinist (I know I played
every note) and two memorable performances of Bach partitas
shot live, on stage, at a concert in London where this polyfaceted
artist is at his best.
It also contains two sequences in which Itzhak Perlman looks
back. The first of them, The Trout Remembered looks at the
making of the film The Trout, probably the most frequently
broadcast classical music film in the history of television and one
which has become the lasting emblem of a great age in music.
The second, made especially for this DVD, Jacqueline du Pré
Remembered recalls a friend who was very close for many
years, a colleague with whom he made chamber music in
many places and an artist and personality for whom he has an
unbounded admiration and an enduring affection.
Itzhak Perlman is one of the world’s leading musical
performers, famous all over the world not only as a virtuoso
violinist of the highest rank but as a much loved television
personality, an honoured guest at the White House and an
extremely effective spokesman for the disabled, having been
handicapped himself by polio since the age of three and a half. All of
these things together, plus a famously lighthearted ebullience,
have won him a particularly affectionate following.
Christopher Nupen’s DVDs have three times been awarded the
DVD of the Year Award (Documentary category) at Midem
in Cannes.
“Christopher Nupen: King of the music documentary”
Gramophone Magazine
“Christopher Nupen pioneered a style of filming musicians and music-making in which his
excellence has rarely been equalled and never excelled. Of that genre he is the undoubted master.”
Sir Jeremy Isaacs
“Doing what television does best, BBC2’s superb Perlman triptych – two concerts sandwiching an
intimate you-are-there documentary – took us as close as it is decent and proper to go
into the unexplained world of genius.”
