Many bravos to Antonio Iturrioz for giving us this wonderfully informative and much-needed documentary on one of our under appreciated and greatest musicians, Leopold Godowsky. It allows us to again remember the legendary life and career of this brilliantly unique pianist, composer and arranger, and his immeasurably important contributions to the world of music.
-Byron Janis, pianist

Antonio Iturrioz has performed a wonderful service to music lovers in general and pianophiles in particular, by producing this lovingly researched film.
-Marc-Andre Hamelin, pianist

Antonio Iturrioz’s film gives us the highlights of Godowsky’s busy, peripatetic, career, shares his thoughts about music and life, and neatly summarizes his achievements as pianist, arranger, composer and teacher. The resulting portrait reveals why Godowsky stood out even in a Golden Age of Romantic piano playing. The film is generously illustrated with archival photographs, documents and scores, and unfolds against a backdrop of Godowsky’s own luxuriant, highly original and legendarily difficult music.

This dvd is a must for any serious pianist. The historical information given by Mr. Iturrioz would have been sufficient reason to acquire the DVD, but the playing and tasteful understanding of Godowsky's music as well makes this an ultimately satisfying experience. Bravo Mr. Iturrioz and Mr. Godowsky!

This excellent film will immediately inspire any serious musician, as it did myself, to play Godowsky's marvelous music, which all too few pianists play.
-Eliane Lust, pianist

I enjoyed your Godowsky film very much. You did a great job of putting it all together. A splendid accomplishment!
