“The life I love”: The pianist Menahem Pressler
As the pianist of the famous Beaux Arts Trio for over 50 years, Menahem Pressler wrote chamber music history – until 2008 when, at over 80 years of age, he started on an amazing solo career. With his heartfelt, uniquely expressive piano tone, Pressler has since then excited audiences around the world in recitals and orchestral concerts. Our film portrait seeks to find out more about this fascinating musician and man.
