SYNOPSIS

With more than three thousand performances world-wide for his earlier oratorio THE ARMED MAN, Karl Jenkins is probably the best known and most played classical composer of our time. Well known from his time with Soft Machine and very successful with advertisers, Karl Jenkins polarizes music lovers. Some think he is not a serious composer, others point to the emotional impact of his music and the tunes one can hum on the way home. As Norman Lebrecht succinctly puts it: Jenkins is a force to reckon with. Filmmaker Hefin Owen´s portrait gives us some clues why Jenkins is so successful in the classical music business and where he comes from.
