54 - Christopher Nupen: Listening through the lens

A film about the pioneering career of Christopher Nupen, who founded one of the first independent production companies in the 1960s, at the dawn of the music documentary era. Seizing upon the emerging camera technology and his unique access to a golden generation of artists, he filmed classical music in a completely new and intimate way. Now 86, Nupen reflects on over 75 productions about musicians and composers, spanning more than 50 years.
