In Search of Haydn
Sound + Vision 2015
July 29 - August 7, 2015
An edifying but never pretentious documentary about the life and thoroughly inventive work of Joseph Haydn, a composer who influenced both Mozart and Beethoven and crucially shaped the sound and format of chamber music. Introduction by director Phil Grabsky.
Phil Grabsky follows up his two previous investigations of the life and work of Beethoven and Mozart with a look at one of their most important contemporaries: Joseph Haydn, a thoroughly inventive composer who crucially shaped the sound and format of chamber music. Enlightening, engrossing, and unpretentious interviews with musicians, conductors, and historians are bolstered by world-class performances of Haydn’s extensive oeuvre, opening up the world of classical music and musical theory. Grabsky’s vital and edifying work stands as a corrective to the composer’s unfairly underrated position in the world of orchestral music. Co-presented with Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival.
