About the Book

BAFTA-AWARD winning documentary-maker, Christopher Nupen has made more than 80 films on classical music and musicians. Here, he tells the story of his varied and often astonishing life and invites us to share his view of `Listening through the Lens'. The book comes with a 13 minute DVD showcasing a selection of his finest films. His pioneering portrait-films count among their subjects Daniel Barenboim, Jacqueline du Pre, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Nathan Milstein, Andres Segovia, Yevgeny Kissin, Karim Said, and Daniil Trifonov, many of whom have become lifelong friends. His 1969 film The Trout is legend. His film We Want the Light has won some of the most prized awards in documentary making, including the Jewish Cultural Award for Film and Television, 2003/2004.

About the Author :
Christopher Nupen began his broadcasting career in the Features department of BBC Radio when he wrote and presented High Festival in Siena in 1962 for the BBC Third Programme: a radio documentary of an unusual kind about the extraordinary summer music school of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, where Nupen studied with Andres Segovia and Alirio Diaz. Nupen left the BBC and with David Findlay (lighting cameraman) and Peter Heelas (film editor) formed Allegro Films, the first entirely independent television production partnership in the United Kingdom. Since 1968, they have made over 80 televisions productions on subjects as diverse as Respighi, Mussorgsky, Brahms, Sibelius, Schubert, Paganini, Schoenberg, Piazzolla, Tchaikovsky and including The Trout, one of the most frequently broadcast films on classical music.

Review :
Elegantly written with a good selection of photographs and a filmography, the book comes with a short DVD of brief extracts from 13 Nupen films made between 1968 and 2004. - Jeremy Nicholas - Gramophone. Nupen turns out to be as captivating a writer as he is a film-maker. The openness and honesty that mark out his professional work can be sensed throughout this extraordinarily candid memoir. - Julian Haylock, The Strad. Nupen's deep affinity for classical music and his genuine friendship and love for the subjects of his films burns ever bright throughout this extraordinary book.... - Andrew Eales, www.pianodao.com. Christopher is a man of great professional expertise, great passion and wonderful humour. This book reflects these qualities in a most captivating way. - Vladimir Ashkenazy.
