Featuring Renee Fleming, Magdalena Kozena, and a host of others, IN SEARCH OF MOZART follows the prolific composer's many journeys through Europe, uncovering information about his life. With narration by Juliet Stevenson, this film explores Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in a way never seen before. Stevenson also narrates the documentary account of the life of composer Ludwig von Beethoven, covering all the major highlights from his birth in 1770 through his death in 1827. With IN SEARCH OF BEETHOVEN writer-director Phil Grabsky opts for an impressionistic approach, building much of the film around the basic foundational material of interviews and studio performances of the great man's work by artists including Ronald Brautigam, Emanuel Ax, and The Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
