Take the opportunity to see the film about pianist Menahem Pressler until June 15 and to access all concerts in the archive!<\/p>\n A phenomenal musician and iconic tutor, German born American-Israeli pianist Menahem Pressler was the heart of the magnificent Beaux Arts Trio since their start in 1955. In 2008 the trio separated but Pressler decided to embark on a solo career. At 85, a unique decision praised by the musical world. Pressler has since then been heard with the major orchestras around the globe. A chamber musician beyond comparison, with clear eyes and a prodigious mind, Pressler is a window to the past. Still, continuously curious and with a tablet PC under his arm, he embraces the 21st century while sharing his endless love for music.<\/p>\n In 2014, the 90-year-old maestro gave his long overdue debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker and film maker Grete Liffers decided to enrich the world with a portrait of the artist\u2019s life and thoughts. Here the audience can gain deep insights into the life of Menahem Pressler including new recorded talks, excerpts from one of his Master Classes and interviews with artists like Daniel Harding, Leonidas Kavakos and Daniel Hope.<\/p>\n
