Editorial Review:

Description:
Paderewski portrays himself. The film includes a 21-minute recital (Chopin "Heroic Polonaise," Liszt "Hungarian Rhapsody," Beethoven "Moonlight,") + Paderewski "Minuet in G."

When Paderewski is playing, the camera mostly is trained on his face or hands, revealing details his records can't: You see that he keeps his fingers bent except for the pinkies, which he often holds straight. With the left hand he often strikes the lowest note first, the rest of the hand follows and then the right hand comes down.

His rhythms are flexible within a strict overall tempo. Serene playing. Casts a spell.
--Stefan Zucker
