Тому 28 лет и ему уготовано продолжать бизнес своего отца: заниматься тёмными, полукриминальными сделками с недвижимостью. Это подлый и порою очень жестокий бизнес. Но случайная встреча внушает ему надежду, что он может, как его мать, стать концертирующим пианистом. Он начинает серьёзно готовиться к прослушиванию и занимается с китайской пианисткой-виртуозом.

Желание перемен приводит к тому, что он начинает мечтать о прекрасной любви… Но пока что Тому приходится жить двойной жизнью — днём он играет на рояле, а по вечерам, вооружившись бейсбольной битой, помогает отцу выбивать деньги из должников и выгонять иммигрантов-нелегалов из пустующих квартир…

Пожилая женщина устраивается в тюрьму для женщин учителем по игре на фортепьяно. На уроки записываются четыре заключённых, одна из которых повесилась, другая нервная, третья ничем не примечательная, а четвёртая обладает божьим даром выдавать из обычного фортепьяно великолепное звучание. Учитель не мог поверить, что такой конченый человек, сгнивающий в четырёх бетонных стенах способен путём музыкального инструмента так превосходно сыграть радостную негритянскую музыку, не смотря на все свои невзгоды и заведённое на неё за убийство дело. Пожилой преподаватель видит её дар и подаёт ей руку помощи, предлагая развить талант и дать ей шанс выступить на некоторых концертах юных композиторов.
There is hardly a better way to approach Ludwig van Beethoven than through his piano concertos. Beethoven’s own instrument was the piano, and in his improvisations – which made him the darling of the Viennese salons – he merged virtuosity and unbridled expression. The piano concertos give a clear idea of these performances. At the same time, they are prime examples of Beethoven’s ability to create large orchestral works with seemingly endless arcs of tension. The complete recording of all five works with Mitsuko Uchida and Sir Simon Rattle was one of the most spectacular projects of the Berliner Philharmoniker during the Rattle era – and at the same time the highlight of the collaboration between the orchestra and the pianist, which began in 1984.
Valery Gergiev is widely recognised as the greatest modern interpreter of Tchaikovsky’s music and the Mariinsky holds a peerless reputation in the repertoire. Together they deliver definitive interpretations of Tchaikovsky’s most popular symphonies. These acclaimed performances were filmed at Salle Pleyel in Paris during January 2010, directed by Andy Sommer. The themes of fate and death pervade Tchaikovsky’s final symphonies. The composition of the Fourth Symphony coincided with the breakdown of Tchaikovsky’s marriage and a failed suicide attempt, yet he considered it to be his greatest. In contrast he believed his Fifth to be flawed and uninviting, yet today this heartfelt work is widely regarded as one of his finest. The subject of fate is further instilled in the Sixth Symphony, premiered shortly before Tchaikovsky’s death. It was posthumously entitled ‘Pathétique’ by his brother and is a deeply melancholic work, full of dynamic extremes and an inherent sense of finality.
Surely Bach’s French Suites, which he composed during his years at Cöthen (1717–1723), are among the finest inducements to practise that any teacher has ever made to a pupil. In this case Bach wrote them for his young wife, Anna Magdalena. The over-riding impression left by these suites is one of endearing tunefulness. Clavier-Übung II is a later collection of didactic keyboard pieces. It comprises two greatly contrasted works: the Italian Concerto and the Overture in the French Style. These performances admirably demonstrate the thoughtful and persuasive approach that András Schiff adopts when performing Bach. Recorded live at the Bachfest 2010, Protestant Reformed Church of Leipzig, 11 June 2010 Repertoire

A native of Berlin, Thielemann has been a regular and welcome guest of the Vienna Philharmonic since 2000, with the result that his first New Year s Concert may be seen as setting an example and providing an appropriate tribute to his previous work with the orchestra. According to the orchestra s chairman, Daniel Froschauer, orchestra and musicians trust each other completely: "The profound musical understanding and trust that have existed from the outset and that have always functioned perfectly have subsequently borne remarkable fruit in the symphonic repertory as well."
