Mikhail Rudy
Mikhail Rudy
Mikhail Rudy, one of the great pianists of our time, reminds us of the young Horowitz; able to play everything that is difficult, brilliantly and unrivaled. Undisputed champion of Russian masterpieces (Rachmaninov, Tchaïkovski and Prokofiev), he also became a major performer of the Romantic repertoire (Schubert, Chopin and Schumann). Not too long ago, Vladimir Fedorovski, the bestselling Russian writer, publisher and journalist, commissioned him to write his memoirs. Using the preparation of the book as its structure, this film retraces Rudy’s incredible life and career: the murder and dispersal of his family, his entry into the Moscow Conservatory under the watchful eye of the KGB, his passionate romances, the piano competition, his flight and rebirth in Paris. Writing, work of memory, critique and re-reading: a Romantic biography seen from within.
