Van Cliburn: A Portrait



Van Cliburn is one of the most celebrated this country has produced. Though he will always be remembered as the winner of the first Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition (and remains the only American ever to have won it), this 1966 documentary from the archives of the Bell Telephone Hour highlights Cliburns true distinction as a musician of remarkable range and depth. Cliburn himself narrates the film, and offers many personal insights on music.
