Birthday Concert for Anton Bruckner

Images, language, movement and music come together in the film—a concept that Richard Wagner already anticipated with his “Gesamtkunstwerk.” The Ensemble D’Accord uses Tristan and Isolde to show how Wagner’s music can have a powerful effect on its own, without stage or action. The paraphrase for string septet arranged by Martina Trumpp, focuses on the music, creating powerful inner images.
