Brief Encounter in Concert
David Lean’s Brief Encounter in Concert
By arrangement with ITV Studios Global Entertainment, Park Circus Films and Southbank Centre, London:
The perfect date night, experience one of the greatest romantic films of all time on the big screen with a live symphony orchestra. Brief Encounter brought to fame Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 with its lush emotional landscape.
David Lean’s iconic film traces the affair of a married doctor and suburban housewife who meet on a train platform. They inadvertently but quickly progress to an emotional love affair, which brings about unexpected consequences. “There was not a dry eye in the house, not least because of the eye-watering beauty of having the score freshly created in front of us as the movie rolled.”
