Summertime (2023) is this intriguing blend of cultures through music, with Tarmo Peltokoski’s spirited conducting bringing a youthful energy. The concert ambiance feels intimate, despite the grand works being played. Golda Schultz’s soprano is striking, infusing a unique warmth into the performance. You have Shostakovich's intensity, Stravinsky's rhythmic playfulness, and Barber’s emotional depth all intermingling. And then, of course, there's Gershwin's "Summertime"—it’s treated almost like a serene interlude amidst the orchestrated chaos. The pacing lets you breathe between pieces, catching those fleeting moments of connection. It’s less about a narrative and more about the experience, which is distinct in the realm of concert films.
