A fascinating documentary about the life and art of the woman who single-handedly revived interested in the harpsichord. As a bonus, following the documentary, Landowska is seen in brief solo performances of Bach: Concerto in D major, 3rd mvt. (excerpt), Italian Concerto, 1st mvt. (abridged), Concerto in D major (after Vivaldi), 2nd mvt.; and Bransle Simple by the early 17th-century French composer Antoine Francisque.
Landowska's classic 1933 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations is included as an audio only bonus. |
