Examining the ruthless world of classical music
In three excellent films, Naked Classics delves into the ruthless, money-spinning world of classical music. The Maestro looks at Zubin Mehta, the most celebrated conductor of his generation , while The Boss tracks New York Metropolitan Opera House general manager, Joseph Volpe. Finally, The Prodigy examines the worrying phenomenon of hothousing talents like Helen Huang at an increasingly young age. The pressures on all these characters are enormous, but then so are the rewards.
