Alfred Brendel is an artist whose main work - interpreting music written for piano - is powerfully illuminated by reference to many other aspects of his life, including his love of paInting, literature, theatre and nonsense. Filmed over a period of two years, this TV documentary explores the musical and non-musical influences that have shaped Brendel's life. It highlights the creative process as he collaborates with many fellow artists. Highlights of the programme include a rehearsal in Vienna of The Beethoven Piano Concertos Nos 2 & 3 with Sir Simon Rattle and the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
