22 - PETR EBEN

An outstanding composer, organist, and pianist. A wise, sensitive, and highly educated pedagogue. An extraordinary and imaginative musical improviser. A loving husband and father of three sons. All this was Petr Eben. His compositions have been performed around the world, and it was precisely the impact and reception of his work that protected him from harsher persecution. The director successfully captures Eben’s kindness, inner world, faith, broad intellectual horizon, deep knowledge, diligence, and of course, his artistic legacy.
