Cristian M\u0103celaru left Romania at the age of just seventeen to seek success in the USA and Europe. It wasn\u2019t long before he made a name for himself as a violinist and conductor. Since 2020, he has been Music Director of the Orchestre National de France and Chief Conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra. In this music documentary, we follow M\u0103celaru as he returns to Timi\u0219oara in Romania, accompanied by his orchestra from Cologne. The programme includes the Second Piano Concerto by Johannes Brahms. As pianist, M\u0103celaru has chosen the celebrated Simon Trp\u010deski, who is also a friend and companion.<\/p>\n

Timi\u0219oara is situated close to Hungary. The third largest city in Romania is a cultural melting pot with striking architecture that has earned it the nickname of \u201cLittle Vienna\u201d. Cristian M\u0103celaru grew up here as the youngest of ten children, each of whom had to learn an instrument with the aim of bolstering their father’s church orchestra. \u201cWe all played an instrument \u2013 one the violin, another the cello. My mother played the flute and we all sang. It was a genuine cacophony.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film accompanies Cristian M\u0103celaru, horn player Melanie Pschorr and pianist Simon Trp\u010deski during their rehearsals and in the concert. The Timi\u0219oara Philharmonic Hall is a former cinema and is barely capable of hosting an eighty-person orchestra, creating a challenge for the orchestra attendants, musicians and conductor.<\/p>\n

During a personal tour of the city, Cristian M\u0103celaru recounts the moving story of the Romanian revolution, which had its origins in Timi\u0219oara. We also experience the international star conductor as a private person together with his extended family as he celebrates his birthday, visits the most beautiful places in the city and tells rich tales of revolutions and the casualties of history.<\/p>\n
