Summary:
"This new documentary from Oscar-nominated director Robert Dornhelm is the most ambitious attempt yet to illuminate the life and art of legendary conductor Herbert von Karajan. With extensive archive footage, some never before seen, and interviews with - among others - Anne-Sophie Mutter, Gundula Janowitz, René Kollo, Christa Ludwig, Seiji Ozawa, Simon Rattle, Christian Thielemann, and Helmut Schmidt, here is a unique, revealing portrait of this complex and sometimes contoversial figure."--Container.
