Music Documentary Series / 13 x 30 min / 1996
The great tenors of the early to midtwentieth century are introduced and analyzed in a 13part television series. Each episode has both a biographical and a musical focus. Every tenor's particular art and style is demonstrated in remarkable archive footage which was digitally scanned and its speed and pitch corrected; much of this footage is from private collections or longlost films and is shown here for the first time.
