A Film by Gösta Courkamp

Fazil Say’s international reputation continues to grow, and he has successfully made the step from child prodigy to highly successful international star. As the French newspaper Le Figaro put it: “He is more than just a brilliant pianist - he is set to become one of the greatest artists of the 21st century.” With his combination of extraordinary strength and absolute technical perfection, Fazil Say is the kind of unique character seldom found in the world of classical music. His incredible gifts and utter commitment to the music are irresistible, and he successfully unites East and West with his personality and musicality. The film shows Fazil Say making music with Turkish pop icon Sertab Erener and interpreting Bach and Beethoven in Istanbul. It also presents excerpts from his compositions Black Earth and Nazim - the latter filmed during a performance in the amphitheatre at Aspendos. BONUS: Paganini Variations & Concerto ‘Silk Road’ composed and performed by Fazil Say.
