2003

Soloists:

Director: 
Uli Aumüller, Hanne Kaisik

“There are more excellent countertenors today than ever before, but one of them stands out above all others: Andreas Scholl.” The film accompanies the internationally renowned countertenor Andreas Scholl to recitals in Dresden, Schwetzingen and his home town, Kiedrich. In interviews Andreas Scholl sheds light on his personal and artistic development. In bonus parts of the DVD Andreas Scholl sings John Dowland’s “Lute Songs“ and Dietrich Buxtehude’s “Jubilate Domino“.

It is about stimulating – and shaping – both our hearts and our minds.” These and other questions Andreas Scholl wants to fi nd out in this portrait.
