Frédéric and George

Frédéric et George

Also known as The Great Composers: Frederic Chopin, Collection Musique de Chambre: Frédéric et George, Frederic Chopin and George Sand, Chamber Music Collection: Frédéric and George, Frédéric et George (Chopin)

Freely inspired by the life of the great Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, and more specifically by his romantic liaison with the celebrated French novelist George Sand, the film is structured around two mature works by the musician and writer: Sonata for Piano and Cello by Chopin and 'Story of My Life' by George Sand. The composer’s music is brought to life on screen through a choreographic staging where actors and dancers, who are seen alternately by themselves or in the company of musicians, attempt to recreate, within a symbolic decor, the universe inhabited by the two lovers.
