In spring 2014 the Vienna Musikverein turned into a venue for an exciting encounter of two seemingly very different artists recording two Mozart concertos together: Nikolaus Harnoncourt, well-known as an intellectual musician who came to attention through his work in period-practice and Lang Lang, a pianist of stunning virtuosity and freewheeling music instincts. This documentary is a revealing insight into the creative process of two of the most distinctive and influential musicians in the world today.
