Notes
"Love Song is based on life-long, ground-breaking research by Tchaikovsky aficionado and filmmaker Ian Woodward who reveals for the first time the heart-breaking true story behind the creation of Tchaikovsky's fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet which gave the world one of the most famous love themes ever written. The facts are presented in biopic form. All the characters depicted in the film actually existed, although some moments have been fictionalised to fill-in gaps where details are scant or non-existent. The result is Love Song: The Triumph and Tragedy of Tchaikovsky. A cinematic first that will rock the classical music Establishment. The filmmaker's detective work into Tchaikovsky's fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet meant that for many years he held a secret bombshell...that although the world's most famous Love Theme has been used in hundreds of films, TV shows and commercials, usually during that moment when one character first spots their true love, it is NOT about a teenage boy and girl in love - not even about a girl" Written by Ian Woodward
