He played it as a conductor; he wasn't able to the piano enough

This is probably the most exciting piano concerto, ever! Gotta love Tchaikovsky..but I dont think he actually ever did play it in public. Anyway this scene is fantastic.

Great film. I wish I didn't have to rely on emule for a copy in decent quality. Release the DVD, MGM, Now.

I've watched this sequence so many times on my VHS copy, it's getting worn out. How long do we have to wait for the DVD?

Great, great sequence... I love the 'music video' format which might be how some artistic geniuses compose their thought. It's on netflix.

@lordcutlery 3 years later and still no release or i couldn't find one.

I'm very disappointed, I want to hear it in HQ, now!

Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 will be conducted at Tanglewood on August 6, 2011. This video features Ken Russell's wife as customer designer, and many of his children, as actors. The film cost about a million pounds when it was made. Although the film shows Tchaikovsky in a meeting with his benefactoress, they never did really meet! Fiction, but beautifully done.

sensational. It's high time the movie was released as a DVD. It's a moving, disturbing and spectacular film.

[BognarRegis]

It's a shame that Ken Russell's films have been neglected by the studios that released them. Almost all of them were misunderstood in their times and in some cases still are. I tend to rank Russell and Lang in the same category: too far ahead of their time. I just hope it doesn't take another fifty years before everyone else catches on.

O mille Grazie!

Best composer movie ever made. The use of music and picture is great, even better than Amadeus.

Actually what we hear in this clip is from the second movement of the 1st Piano Concerto.
