Chopin Letters - Music Documentary Film - Trailer

Chopin Letters, a most welcome and timely documentary about the relationship between two Polish men and their homeland. One is the world renowned 19th century composer - Fryderyk Chopin, and the other contemporary pianist performing Chopin's music. A fascinating and powerful portrait of Chopin's music and its impact on a man who followed the composers' steps 150 years later. Exclusively filmed on locations in Zelazowa Wola, Warsaw, Szafarnia, and Brochow, Poland. It is a deep introspective depiction of the composers' thoughts and mindset while living in exile. A perfect blend of a written word, music, drama, passion, nostalgia, and hope for the future. A true jewel for all admirers of Chopin's music.

Couple of reviews:

"Deeply touched by the personal tone and stake in it 'me in Chopin'. The piano sounds beautifully recorded, rare on film. A highly inspiring total art work project through cinematography for each and all of us." - Emile Naoumoff (concert pianist and faculty of Indiana University Jacob School of Music).

"... immensly moved by its story, which was displayed with immense artistry. With each frame I was intellectually nourished. The movie remained dead-center in the realm of art, as it never touched ne'er slightly in the arena of profane sentimentality. The fidelity of the piano performances bears no peer when I compare the many recordings that I have heard. In sum, the movie is a jewel--touching, artistic, subtle enough that I wish to rewatch it several times once again. Memorable it remains with me." - Robert Harrison (Professor of Voice, Indiana University Jacob School of Music).
