59 - Karl Jenkins - The Composer behind the Moustache

With more than 3000 performances world-wide for his THE ARMED MAN, Karl Jenkins is probably the best known and most played classical composer of our time. Some think he is not a serious composer, others point to the emotional impact of his music and the tunes one can hum on the way home. As Norman Lebrecht succinctly puts it: Jenkins is a force to reckon with. Filmmaker Hefin Owen´s portrait gives us some clues where Jenkins comes from and why he is so successful in the classical music business.
