ReviewsThe New York Times - Palmer is a master of the medium - he takes us into the minds of men of music and explains why they accomplished what they did. This is the most absorbing film ever made about a composer, how he worked, what he thought and what made him what he was. It is as important as any book written on the man and his music., New York Times - Palmer is a master of the medium - he takes us into the minds of men of music and explains why they accomplished what they did.
