Synopsis
This documentary film is the second in the trilogy Prague Spring Comes Every Year, which disrupts the stereotype in which the world of classical music is presented by the media. The film is made up of four storylines. The story of conductor Sir Charles Mackerras, as he rehearses Janáček's Taras Bulba with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. The second story shows a unique event of two grand pianos being reassembled to form a single instrument, and the concert featuring this instrument. In the third story we are present at an international competition in trombone playing and we watch the mutual attitudes of the competitors. Garrick Ohlsson, a star of the first order, features in the fourth story, which tells about the artist's feelings towards the composer and his endless path to perfection.
