Sir Colin Davis - The Man and his Music
Sir Colin Davis (1927-2013), dubbed by the Financial Times as “the reluctant King of English music making”, can look back on an extraordinary career as a conductor and teacher of classical music. This documentary intends to reveal the man behind the musician: a human being whose serenity and Zen-like approach has become a common thread in all of his work. In Sir Colin Davis' own words: “When everyone in the orchestra feels responsible for the piece of music, that’s when life begins”. As this documentary shows, Davis seems to have found the perfect instrument for making music in his unique way among the London Symphony Orchestra. Directed by Reiner E. Moritz in 2012.
