Summary:
The bolero: During a rehearsal of Ravel's Bolero, the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and conductor Zubin Mehta discuss the interpretation of the work. The dynamics of group effort and the role of a successful leader in an organization are demonstrated. Includes a complete, uninterrupted performance. In search of Câezanne: An exploration of the French painter through the eyes of a young documentary filmmaker who is just discovering his work. Traveling from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art to to Paris and to Câezanne's hometown of Aix-en-Provence, meeting scholars and family of Câezanne at each stop, her journey is an inquiry into the nature of artistic expression and its appreciation.
