A collection of scathing reviews from Germany, France, Austria, England and America about the greatest composers and their masterpieces following their premiers. We’ll encounter a musical work that resembles "Indian war cries and angry wild cats" (Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony), the composer whose name is too complicated to pronounce (Tchaikovsky), the opera that has no chance of remaining in the repertoire (Rigoletto) and other little critical gems from the past two hundred years.
Featuring: Rivka Michaeli and Dror Keren
