Synopsis
What do Lang Lang, Alfred Brendel and Pierre-Laurent Aimard have in common? All three star pianists swear by the same piano tuner. Stefan Knüpfer is responsible for the fine, almost imperceptible nuances of sound that separate a good concert from a virtuoso one. PianoMania follows this perfectionist's unusual routine, and takes a look behind the scenes of the classical music business. A film about the love of perfection and the rare moments when it can almost be attained, at least musically.
