Upcoming episode Passion for the Hermitage

For the sixth and final episode of the award-winning documentary series Passion for the Hermitage, Aliona van der Horst went back to St. Petersburg in May to film in the famous museum. She followed various employees who are preparing the first exhibit on Russian balls, which will open in the spring of 2009 in the Hermitage's satellite museum in Amsterdam. One of the highlights of this exhibit is the grand piano that the last Russian tsar Nicholas II gave to his wife Alexandra. This piano was dismissed as unplayable until the day a strange-looking man asked if he could give it a try. He was the genius composer and concert pianist Karavaychuk. His music is indescribable, not seeming to originate from him, but from unknown forces.
