CGiii Comment
In part, it is a well-staged biopic of Tchaikovsky's life, featuring Ed Stoppard (The Pianist) in the role of the famous Russian composer. It's also partially a documentary, featuring conductor Charles Hazlewood offering information on Tchaikovsky's career and visiting numerous places of importance from the composer's life. Yet another part of this feature is a concert film, featuring performances of Tchaikovsky's most well-known and respected musical works.
