Produced to commemorate the 155th anniversary of the death of German Romantic composer Robert Schumann, this biographical documentary begins during Schumann's 18th year (1828), and discusses the events that characterized his life from this point until his final year of 1856. The work places its strongest emphasis on evoking Schumann's personality, via a collage of contemporary depictions of him; it also interpolates performances of his work by such giants as Hermann Prey, Daniel Barenboim, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Leonard Bernstein. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Director Jan Schmidt-Garre explores the personal and professional crisis faced by composer Anton Bruckner, who was forced to choose between remaining in his hometown of Linz and continuing his teaching career, or relocating to Vienna to launch his career as a composer. A difficult period of soul-searching, the early-life conflict had such a profound emotional impact on the famed composer that it instilled his symphonies with an unmistakable air or power and passion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
