The Cliburn: Playing on the Edge

The Cliburn - Playing on the Edge
5 stars
Thoroughly riveting from start to finish. A humanizing portrait of artists achieving great things. There are so many moments of deep emotion worth savoring, both onstage and off. The musical merit of each participant is indisputable. When a winner is crowned at the end it hardly feels as though they are head and shoulders above the rest. Each participant is a piano virtuoso, and as such, they make fascinating subjects.
