Home Music Berlin concert series. When the Covid-19 lockdown hit Berlin in 2020, video director Jan Schmidt-Garre and pianist Francesco Piemontesi dreamed up a live-streaming concert series for top-drawer but out-of-work Berlin musicians. Eventually 19 instrumentalists and singers performed 14 concerts at the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin for a live-streaming audience. The best recordings from the project are assembled here and there is also a documentary about the project. This yields almost 7 hours of music and documentary info on 2 Blu-ray discs to be played in home theaters. See the back art above for the names of all the musicians and the pieces performed. Songs are rendered in various languages. There are sub-titles, but don’t expect too much in that regard. Released 2023, discs have 5.1 dts-HD Master Audio sound. Grade: NA
We have generally been disappointed by the fine-art documentary titles that have come out in Blu-ray. This title, however, promises to be more of a concert than a documentary. So we take a chance on reporting this. Here are trailers:
