This is the most important recording prize of Germany and is regarded as the "German Grammy". : The first part of the film is a doentary of Korngold's life and career, and the second part is a concert featuring complete performances of Alexander Frey playing solo piano works of Korngold, : and features also the violin and cello concerti performend by Leonadis Kavakos and Quirin Viersin, respectively, with Hugh Wolff conducting the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. Frey's : performances are superb and extraordinarily touching, reflecting his usual combination of complete command of technique, enormous sensitivity and large tonal pallette. Quirin Viersin gives a very dramatic reading of the cello concerto, beautifully paced and : intense. Leonidis Kavakos gives a compelling performance of the violin concerto in his own right, introspective and always mindful of the grand style.
