But it is only Perahia\u2019s playing, with its otherworldly beauty, that seems to be beyond all earthly limitations. As this film shows, the artist engages in all facets of life as well as his work. In interviews on tour and in his Swiss vacation home, he talks about the works in his repertoire, and how he develops his interpretations. We experience him as an inspirational teacher, at work in the recording studio and, of course, at rehearsals and in concert. Perahia also discusses the injury to his hand, which has repeatedly forced to stop playing for periods of time \u2013 a terrible experience for a pianist. But Perahia has even come to terms with this difficult situation and has reached some surprising insights: \u201cWhat seemed like a curse actually turned into a blessing, because it gave me a lot of time to think about music and to listen to it more. And so I felt I was actually growing as a musician, even though I was not playing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February 1977, Murray Perahia made his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker with Mozart\u2019s C minor piano concerto, conducted by Riccardo Muti. \u201cA first-class soloist was introduced to us, with fantastic musicianship and a highly sensitive touch,\u201d as the press wrote.
