The music world has known the outstanding artist Menahem Pressler for more than half a century. He was the heart of the famous Beaux Arts Trio, and in 2008, when the trio decided to separate, a memorable solo career restarted.

At the age of 90, the grand master of the piano gave his long overdue debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker.

In this touching and emotional portrait, 'The Life I Love', the audience can gain deep insights into the life of Menahem Pressler – from newly recorded talks, excerpts from one of his Master Classes, to interviews with artists like Daniel Harding, Quatuor ébène, Leonidas Kavakos and Daniel Hope.
