Gerhard Oppitz - Close-up. Pianist, Professor & Pilot (2008)

Описание к видео Gerhard Oppitz - Close-up. Pianist, Professor & Pilot (2008)

This documentary sets out in search of clues to the classical piano tradition in Germany. Guided by the professional explanations of Joachim Kaiser, it deals with the tradition’s stylistic and artistic characteristics. Gerhard Oppitz, “the great silent master from Munich”, is a worthy representative. With Wilhelm Kempff he learnt to understand playing the piano as philosophizing with notes. His teacher became his mentor, and the relationship between teacher and student finally turned into a great friendship. In the centre of this essay is Johannes Brahms, who like no other German composer linked classicism and romanticism, even leaping into modern styles.
