TABEA ZIMMERMANN & FRIENDS III
Participants
- Tabea Zimmermann viola
- Thomas Hoppe piano
Programme
Documentary film ‘Dmitri Shostakovich. The Viola Sonata’ (1981, OmU)
The film documents the often endangered existence of Dmitri Shostakovich in the Soviet Union. The directors created their work from archive material, which they edited exclusively with music by the composer. Criticism of Soviet cultural policy and solidarity with the composer, who on the one hand was honoured, but on the other hand was repeatedly harassed and humiliated, is created through the art of montage image/music.
intermission
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
Sonata in C major for viola and piano op. 147
The film is introduced by Brigitte van Kann.
