Music in the Air – A History of Classical Music on Television
DVD out now!
The documentary Music in the Air by Reiner E. Moritz was made for the IMZ –
International Music + Media Centre – to celebrate its 50th birthday.
Music on television has come in various guises over the last 50 years. It was
already part of the programme mix in the very beginnings and is still around,
reaching millions – at any rate more people
than those experiencing music in opera
houses, concert halls or other venues.
Television has been instrumental in
popularizing music, preserving precious
moments of music making and helping to
create music andperformances which would
not exist without it…
The DVD has been released in August 2012.

PHIL GRABSKY FILMS.COM
… AFFILIATE MEMBER OF THE IMZPhilGrabskyFilms.com in association with Seventh Art Distribution has
been making award-winning documentary films for cinema, television and DVD
for over 25 years.
Phil’s internationally-acclaimed films have had great theatric success: in Australia,
both In Search of Mozart and In Search of Beethoven have become all-
time top 100 grossing documentaries. With In Search of Haydn, Phil Grabsky
recently completed his trilogy of the great Viennese composers. Not only have
the films been televised in Germany and Austria but, as DVDs, they are among
the few biographical films on sale in each of the composers’ homes. For the
three biographical films, Phil Grabsky filmed over 200 interviews and 100
concerts with many of the world’s greatest musicians.
Currently in production is the much anticipated In Search of Chopin.
We have also produced Piano Notes (a 26-part series of 8-12’ filmspresented
by top pianist Ronald Brautigam). Piano Notes takes the viewer on a potted
history of piano music.
On Stage with ….Chopin’s Special Birthday Concert is another
award-winning film: recorded (multi-camera in HD) in Warsaw during the
2010 anniversary concerts, it is a rare concert that includes all of Chopin’s
six orchestral pieces performed by some of the world’s leading pianists.
Phil is currently filming THE PIANIST & BEETHOVEN – a long-term
portrait of Leif Ove Andsnes and his studies and performances of the
five Beethoven piano concerti.
Phil Grabsky has also made dozens of history films for the BBC & others;
Making War Horse for Channel 4, the world’s first 3D visual arts film:
Tim Marlow on British Sculpture at the Royal Academy of Arts
for Sky – and over 120 arts films presented by Tim Marlow for a
worldwide audience. Recently, PhilGrabskyFilms.com scored a major hit
with Leonardo Live: a global first, bringing the National Gallery
exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan live to cinemas
across the world. Our strand EXHIBITION is now working with the
world’s leading galleries to produce more art exhibition films for cinema,
TV and DVD.

NEW PRODUCTIONSCLASART CLASSIC
The Cleveland Orchestra’s Bruckner
Cycle
Clasart Classic continues the Cleveland
Orchestra’s Bruckner cycle with the
recording of Bruckner’s Symphony No.
4.
The Baroque monastery of St. Florian near
Linz, Austria, is not only Anton Bruckner’s first
place of activity. According to his wish the
composer and organist was also buried
underneath “his” great organ to which he
owed so much inspiration and fame. Also Franz
Welser-Möst has strong ties to this place and
its unique atmosphere. Like Bruckner himself,
his own career keeps bringing him back to this
splendid, perfectly preserved basilica with its
abundance of ornamental art.
After the recordings of the Symphonies No. 5,
7, 8 and 9 at Severance Hall in Cleveland,
Vienna’s Musikverein and St. Florian, this
performance marks the fifth installment in The
Cleveland Orchestra’s Bruckner cycle, which is
being captured for posterity by Clasart Classic
on 31 August / 1 September 2012. With its
transparent sound, which recalls less a typically
American top orchestra than a European one,
the famous Cleveland Orchestra will show
once more its profound understanding of
Bruckner’s music.
“One could feel that Welser-Möst was someone
who was breathing with the composer, tracking
down what was still to be discovered between the
lines and, above all, beyond the common, incense-
heavy performance practice: the passionate, wildly
expressive symphonist.” Vienna daily Die Presse
on the performance of Bruckner’s Fifth
Symphony

SOCIAL DESIGN – ARTS AS URBAN INNOVATION
New Master Programme At The University Of Applied Arts Vienna And The Konservatorium Wien University (Starting Fall 2012)
„Both our society and the art system are in transition. Therefore, it is imperative that a university of art must help to
shape this paradigmatic process of transformation rather than suffer from its effects.“
Today, more than half of the world population lives in cities. A development putting enormous pressure on cities
as complex, self-generating environments. In order to accommodate this global tendency, new concepts are
needed that address the overall process of knowledge production in society. Especially art universities are
predestined to formulate these new, distinct perspectives on the inherent logic of cities and the corresponding
dynamics of their processes.
Thus the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the Konservatorium Wien University have
implemented a new master degree programme dedicated to challenges that emerge within urban social
systems and the broad spectrum of related issues. The objective is to integrate diverse disciplinary expertise
when dealing with the complexity of urban systems.
Submission deadline: 14 September! Please submit documents per e-mail to [email protected].
