Massenet: His Life and Music
With the participation of numerous specialists of the composer, among them Rodney Milnes, biographer James Harding, pianist Graham Johnson, or Dame Joan Sutherland, Richard Bonynge and the famous singing teacher Janine Reis, the film composes a portrait of Jules Massenet by examining the places where he lived and worked. The film demonstrates how Massenet was a composer of greater complexity and relevance than he has usually been given credit for. He was a man living in a period not unlike our own, concerned with rendering the deeper reality of his times.
