PIANOMANIA

PIANOMANIA
AUSTRIA/GERMANY 2009
DIRECTORS: LILIAN FRANCK, ROBERT CIBIS
PIANOMANIA takes the viewer along on a humorous journey into the secret world of sounds and accompanies Stefan Knuepfer at his unusual job with world-famous pianists like Lang Lang, Alfred Brendel, Rudolf Buchbinder, and Pierre-Laurent Aimand. To find the right instrument with the necessary qualities, compatible with the vision of the virtuoso, to tune it to perfection and finally to get it on the stage, requires nerves of steel, boundless passion, and the extraordinary ability to translate words into sounds.
