THE BREATH OF THE ORCHESTRA
POLISH TITLE: SEKRET ORKIESTRY
The film The breath of the Orchestra, shot during the 9th International Music Festival ‘Chopin and his Europe’ in 2013,represents an attempt to create an intimate portrait of one of the greatest phenomena on the global music scene of the last one hundred years. The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, an international ensemble created in 1981 by the Dutch flautist and conductor Frans Brüggen, rapidly mastered historical-style performance practice. This legendary ensemble can boast hundreds of concerts, dozens of discs and ardent admirers on every continent. In an intimate atmosphere, we learn of the Orchestra’s history and of its encounters with Poland and with the music of Fryderyk Chopin, and we find ourselves—for a moment at least—at the centre of a magical musical world and ethos formed around a special community of people who know how to take delight in what they do and to delight others with its effects, taking pleasure in the wonderful creation of music. And that, perhaps, is the orchestra’s secret…
