2021年第二屆香港古樂節:「尋源之旅」

Music Video Screening: Life is a Dream

 

The 2nd Hong Kong Early Music Festival features a rich diversity of musical genres, including the music video “Life Is a Dream”, directed by Amsterdam-based writer and filmmaker Daan VREE.

Filmed at the beautiful Loenersloot Castle in the Dutch province of Utrecht, the story sees the world through a child's eyes. Yuna, an 8-year-old girl, waits for her pianist mother, Kaoru, who is making music with a young couple living in the castle, Edmond and Kitty. The child imagines that these two are a prince and a princess.
The video is suffused with music; songs and duets of Haydn and Mendelssohn are performed by two distinguished young singers: Hong Kong-born soprano Kitty LAI and tenor Edmond CHU, along with solo pieces played by Japanese pianist Kaoru IWAMURA on a square piano (an authentic period instrument). According to the director Daan VREE, the film is based on research into the history of the castle, the texts of the songs and the stories behind their composition: "we made a storyline that connects all the dots…The music is mostly about love and longing for each other, and we have the song about life that is just a dream."

Moreover, we will show a bonus video "The Broadwood Piano at the Loenersloot Castle" at the event. Kaoru IWAMURA will tell you more about the 200-year-old English Broadwood Square Piano she played in the video. This is a golden opportunity for you to extend your knowledge of authentic keyboard instruments.

The Broadwood Square piano 1829 at Castle Loenersloot is on loan from Museum Geelvinck.
