Even during his lifetime, Carlos Kleiber was a myth: a conductor who was adored by audiences and colleagues. Yet he was haunted by self-doubt, and picked up the baton only reluctantly and – as the years went by – less and less frequently. In this documentary, Georg Wübbolt attempts to show what made Kleiber the phenomenon he was. The film includes interviews with colleagues such as Michael Gielen, Riccardo Muti and Wolfgang Sawallisch, rare rehearsal footage, and excerpts from the conductor’s letters and notes.
