  Excellent documentary from beginning to end. Historical accounts of the Soviet era and what role the great composers played. The words are beautiful and meaningful so well narrated by actor Eric Boghosian. The actual footage of Aram and photos is inspiring. The ballet footage is beautiful. Very well done!!!

  Whoever was the inspiration of this wonderful film must live long. Wonderful, informative, suspenseful enough to draw my 85 minute continuous attention. I met this music giant Aram as a kid in Venice visiting the Mekhitarist monastery, after his triumphant Spartacus, during the years of Khruchef in '63, I also cherish a photo with him. As this presentaion claims, he was inspired by his forefather's soul and he stayed on that timeless path, for this he will live...

  This is a wonderful film about a great composer and a great man. It also features his friends Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Myaskovsky, Rostropovich and David Oistrakh, among others. There are examples of his great compositions, ballets and other music, and how he came to write them. It is also an evocative description of the Soviet Union,the times of the revolutions and the mentality that was so destructive to creativity, and destroyed many people. The film also shows his beloved Armenia, with its beautiful music and his family that were such an inspiration to him. This is a must see film for lovers of music, history and humanity.
