"Chaplin in Concert – With a Smile"
Charlie Chaplin had musical talents among many others. He played the violin and cello and managed to translate Brahms' "Hungarian Dance" No. 5 into a ravishing shaving scene in "The Great Dictator". Above all, he could whistle: He did that whenever he had an idea for a film score - because writing music, he had to leave that to others. "Nothing is more exciting than hearing a melody you composed yourself played by a 50-piece orchestra for the first time," he once said. This film symphonic project is also exciting, with Chaplin classics and rarities - and of course the corresponding live music.
