Yuri Ahronovitch was one of the most prestigious conductors in the former Soviet Union, head of Moscow’s Soviet State Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra. After he moved to Israel in 1972, he began performing worldwide, including in Italy, where he conducted major orchestras for nearly three decades. Italian filmmaker’s tribute to the prolific conductor (recently screened at the Moscow and Napoli film festivals), includes interviews with artists, musicians, critics, friends and acquaintances about the late conductor and his outstanding body work.
