Schumann fancies he can compose, Brahms is a giftless bastard and Debussy is simply ugly. Igudesman creates a sardonic melange of the most evil music critics of the last centuries about some of the greatest works of chamber music. Malkovich slips into the role of the evil music critic, who believes the music of Ravel and co is weary and dreary. Julian Rachlin, Janine Jansen, Richard Hyung-ki Joo and other great musician beg to differ.

…will score the documentary “Jealous of the Birds”

Jeal­ous of the Birds, cur­rently in post-production, is a fea­ture length doc­u­men­tary that pro­vides a new angle and new sto­ries to the pan­theon of Holo­caust related doc­u­men­taries.
The film focuses on the emo­tional his­tory of a small com­mu­nity of Holo­caust Sur­vivors who remained in Frank­furt, Ger­many after lib­er­a­tion from Nazi death camps, and asks the ques­tion, ‘Why would a Sur­vivor choose to remain in Ger­many — shoul­der to shoul­der with their per­pe­tra­tors?‘
