Sir Colin Davis with Love: In His Own Words(2013)

剧情简介

Portrait of the conductor Sir Colin Davis, who died in April 2013, which reveals a reluctant maestro. Shortly before his final illness, he spoke at length to John Bridcut about his life, his beliefs and his musical passions. Davis became famous in the 1960s as Sir Malcolm Sargent's abrasive successor at the Proms, but in a life full of controversy he rejected celebrity and disowned his early career. The angry young man became the pre-eminent British conductor of his generation, especially associated with the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz, Sibelius, Elgar and Tippett.
