I never cease to marvel at Tony Palmer's incredible gift for making films. This comprehensive, enthralling film about the Salzburg Festival continues to add to his impressive body of work. While other filmmakers reap more publicity and probably make more money, Tony Palmer quietly produces masterpiece after masterpiece.
If Tony Palmer isn't among the finest filmmakers in the world, then I'll eat my hat: the same hat I've taken off (after Robert Schumann's decree) in acknowledgment of his genius.
Thankfully, more and more of this great artist's work is becoming available on DVD. There are still some masterpieces forthcoming, such as ENGLAND, MY ENGLAND. Keep them coming, is all I can say.
Bravo.
