Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile
Artur Schnabel, the exiled Austro-German musician and composer, was a giant of his time, but he is almost forgotten in Germany today. With a filmed commemorative concert, pianist and Schnabel devotee Markus Pawlik (in collaboration with baritone Dietrich Henschel and the Szymanowski String Quartet) brings Artur Schnabel's greatest compositions back to Berlin. Pawlik visits the places, landscapes, and history that shaped Schnabel's life and music along the way. "Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile" rediscovers an essential artist who was displaced by the disasters of World War II and the Holocaust and inspired by modernism's possibilities.
