This video documentary provides a survey of 18 extraordinary keyboard artists that dominated the concert world in the mid 20th century, from Ignaz Paderewski to Claudio Arrau. Using footage that was painstakingly collected over a two year period, THE ART OF PIANO features rare clips of eighteen amazingly talented pianists who reached career heights at the middle of the 20th century. Featuring legends like Rachmaninoff, Hofman, Horowitz, and Glenn Gould performing live and on film, the theme of the video is tied together through interviews and commentary by conductors including Sir Colin Davis and Daniel Barenboim.

Art Of Piano - Great Pianists Of The 20th Century Movie Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   Daunting Performances Presented in very intriguing fashion are filmed performances of the greatest pianists of the 20th century (with some notable exceptions --e.g. Serkin, Gieseking, Schnable) who are no longer with us. These pianists are recalled with reverie by a group of present day pianists.
The point is often made in this documentary that the great pianists used speed only as a jumping off point and that true technical genius is to found in their ability to achieve profound musical results effortlessly.
We hear Rachmaninoff, Hoffman, Cortot, Backhaus, Hess, Horowitz, Gould, Arrau and others in performances that can only be called transcendental.
As is often bemoaned in this film, alas, the golden age of pianism is behind us. Submitted by a reviewer (Albertson, New York)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Great documentary Great overview of the century's great pianist. Rare footage and interviews. The sound quality varies, but for the most part, it is good. The rare footage of certain pianists certainly makes up for it and it is highly entertaining. If love classical music, this is for you. Submitted by brianphoto (Manteca, CA)  Was This Review Helpful?
