This award-winning film uncloaks the mystery of Joseph Boulogne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a black musician from the 18th century whose work has fallen into neglect due to the prejudices of history. Le Mozart Noir revives the story of Saint-Georges’ life as an ardent lover, a renowned athlete, a revolutionary, but above all, as an extraordinary composer and performer. His music is rich, baroque, complex, and crafted by a brilliant violinist. As interpreted by Jeanne Lamon and the Tafelmusik Orchestra, this music will once again be heard in the hopes that this will allow it to live again, and live on.
Tafelmusik Orchestra performances of eight St-Georges works, in 5.0 Dolby Digital Stereo, accompany this spectacular production as a bonus audio feature.
