The first comprehensive biography of the great Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943). Featuring commentary and performances by today's most respected pianists – like Yefim Bronfman, Denis Matsuev, Barry Douglas, Anna Fedorova or Nobuyuki Tsujii - this is a story of overcoming severe hardships and eventual redemption through the power of music. This film is the first to explore performance styles and interpretation of the Rachmaninoff piano repertoire. Rachmaninoff's biographical story (illustrated with archival footage, art and photographs), with its joyous highs and depressing lows, structures the film's evolving interviews and performance excerpts.
