Considered to be one of the most prestigious competitions in classical music, the International Chopin Piano Competition, held in Warsaw every five years since 1927, has been a career launchpad for such piano virtuosos as Krystian Zimerman, Mitsuko Uchida, Kevin Kenner, and Vladimir Ashkenazy.

This fly-on-the-philharmonic-wall documentary takes us on a roller coaster of a classical ride, where we meet some of the most talented, young professional piano players from all over the world as they navigate the pressure and drama.

Pianoforte captures the highs and lows of competition, as well as the emotional moments as strong and as soft as the dynamic that gives the instrument its name. Sit back and revel at the fun….” ~ POV
