Detlev Glanert on Detlev Glanert

This interview with Detlev Glanert, filmed at his home in Berlin, explores his musical development through studies with Hans Werner Henze to his series of acclaimed operas, widely performed in Germany and abroad. He discusses how politics and history are twin sources for his recent works including the opera Caligula.

The video includes footage from stage productions of The Wooden Ship, Caligula and Solaris, together with recordings of Theatrum bestiarum, Shoreless River and Glanert's orchestration of Brahms's Four Serious Songs.

The Detlev Glanert on Detlev Glanert web documentary is presented by Boosey & Hawkes and directed by Tommy Pearson of Orchid Media.
