Music at Oxford: Pianomania (film)
Wed 20 Nov, 18:00 - 20:00
The Ultimate Picture Palace, Oxford
Pianomania takes the viewer along on a humorous journey into the secret world of sounds, and accompanies Stefan Knüpfer at his unique job, finding and tuning the perfect piano for world famous pianists like Lang Lang, Alfred Brendel, Rudolf Buchbinder and Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Each piano has its own personality, each piece demands its own timbre, and every interpretation has a particular temperament. To find the right instrument with the necessary qualities, compatible with the vision of the virtuoso, to tune it to perfection and finally to get it on the stage, requires nerves of steel, boundless passion, and the extraordinary skill of translating words into sounds.
