Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile
Artur Schnabel, the exiled Austrian-German musician and composer, was a giant of his day, yet he is almost forgotten in his homeland today. Markus Pawlik, a pianist and Schnabel fan, returns to Berlin with a video commemoration concert of Artur Schnabel's best compositions (in conjunction with baritone Dietrich Henschel and the Szymanowski String Quartet). Pawlik sees the locations, landscapes, and history that impacted Schnabel's life and music along the journey. "Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile" reintroduces a seminal artist who was uprooted by the horrors of two World Wars and the Holocaust and inspired by modernism's possibilities.
