    Interesting with a few flaws

    Very interesting biographical presentation of the two composers.

    It reports about the musical context and development. Also attractive to someone not into classical music or composers so much. It would have been nice though if the different interviewees had their names displayed in a subtitle. Some people in the piece give a comment in Italian and German and there were no subtitles for that either.
