Music publisher Boosey & Hawkes commissioned me to film and edit a series of five short video documentaries celebrating the recently rediscovered Romantic composer Leokadiya Kashperova in her 150th anniversary year.
Each film featured an interview with musicologist Graham Griffiths who spent many years searching for Kashperova’s compositions in Russia. Each film also features one of Kashperova’s musical compositions.
Here is a link to view each of the five documentaries on the Boosey & Hawkes YouTube channel.
In Search of Kashperova: Symphonic memories
In Search of Kashperova: Rubinstein’s Pupil
In Search of Kashperova: Cello Sonatas
In Search of Kashperova: Stravinsky’s teacher
