Movie Reviews of So What?! A Portrait of Friedrich Gulda [DVD Video]
Movie Review: The Art of Friedrich Gulda
Summary: 5 Stars
Ths DVD gives you a very good impression of the multi-talented Austrian pianist/musician Friedrich Gulda. It consists of a documentary, an interview and, of course, lots of music.
The documentary (running time one hour) shows the different aspects of the man and artist Gulda. Apart from being an incredible classical pianist he was also an accomplished jazz-pianist, musical thinker and avant-garde artist. Althoug not everything he did was equally interesting, or was at the same level of quality, the documentary still makes it crystal-clear why Friedrich Gulda was (and still is) a world-famous artist.
The musical programme consists of the following:
J.S. Bach:
Prelude and Fugue in Aminor BWV 889
Brelude and Fugue in C major BWV 846
Prelude and Fugue in A flat major BWV 886
(the above works are played on the clavichord)
Franz Schubert, arr. Gulda:
Der Wanderer
Claude Debussy
Reflets dans l'eau
La soir?e dans Grenade
Gulda:
?bungsst?ck no. 9 from Play Piano Play
F?r Paul
Prelude and Fugue
F?r Rico
Mozart, arr. Gulda
Sarastro's aria "In diesen heil'gen Hallen"
J.S. Bach
Prelude and Fugue in C sharp minor BWV 849
Karl F?derl / Ernst Marischka
Die Reblaus
The interview is a real bonus. Although the interviewer likes to hear himself speak, I must admit that he is also very knowledgeable, so let's not be too critical here. Instead of many tv interviews nowadays, they take their time (36 minutes) and explore many interesting issues (Gulda on Chopin, on Cortot, on Schubert, etc. ). This interiew, for me, really adds to the value of this DVD.
All in all: a disc really worth buying.
Enjoy!
