After her father’s death, Astrid Thompson finally manages to bring together the four best soloists in the world to perform a unique concert reuniting four instruments made by Stradivarius – her late father’s dream. However, all does not run smoothly, with the four soloists constantly quarrelling during the week of rehearsals in a castle near Reims. <i>The Musicians</i> is both hilarious and fascinating in the detail it provides on the difficulty of playing chamber music.
All the actors are musicians themselves, playing not only their characters but also the music performed in the film. This is a production as much for the ear as for the eye.DramaPT1H42MN/C 152025-11-20
