On Friedrichstrasse (2021)

Romanian pianist Daniel Ciobanu plays Prokofiev’s Second Piano Sonata at a private night concert off Friedrichstrasse in Berlin, filmed by Fly On The Wall in a former East German administrative building. A Pearl River piano stands incongruously in the bare room, a modern instrument amid the ghosts of Berlin’s own piano-making history and of the communist state. Volatile and percussive, the sonata suits the charged setting, and the film sets the performance against documentary footage of the evening.
