The Man with the Golden Flute
Last year, Spain's most distinguished living .composer, Rodrigo, blind since the* age of three, wrote the Concierto Pastoralnfor James Galway. This film deals with the work from the earliest braille sketches, when composer and soloist meet for the first time, and right through the hard slog of practice that leads up to the first performance at the Royal Festival Hall, with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Eduardo Mata
We see Jimmy at his Lucerne home with his Swiss wife Annie and their children; playing with The Chieftains, teaching and talking about flute playing, and working on the new Rodrigo concerto -by far the most difficult piece he says he's ever encountered.
