In 1970 the Australian child prodigy pianist suffered a nervous breakdown. He spent 11 years in mental institutions.

You know, it's all planned. Be happy.

[David] Be happy. Keep smiling.

Don't worry. No regrets, no regrets.

Go forward. Forward into a happy future,

hopefully. A happy future.

Definitely. You've got

to be brave, courageous.

It's a big world out there.

It's the triumph of the will.

Only the strong survive.

The weak are crushed like grasshoppers.

Well, keep trying. Be who I am.

What do you have to lose? Nothing. Now.

[girl] So you think it's important

to live in the now?

[David] Well in the past you can't.

Why do I think so?

Because that's all you can influence.

You know, all you can influence is now.

There's no point in-- Don't go back.

That's right, don't go back.

Go forward, go forward.

Forward to a happy future hopefully.

[David playing the piano]

[David humming the tune]

Happier and happier.

Always the same David.

[Matthias] Yeah.

Is that "meno" at the end okay for him?

-Yes, yes.

-That was very good.

-Yeah, more, more.

-[Matthias speaking animatedly]

[Matthias speaks in Swedish]

Hey...

[David] Anyway, anyway...

What can you do? Yes, yes.

[Matthias] No, no, now we take a break,

here's it no problem, this was

a little bit concentrated.

-[Matthias] Two hours, two hours.

-[David] Two hours, yes. Two hours!

[David] Hello, hello!

Hello, how are you? What do you play?

-The bassoon.

-Oh, the bassoon?

-Where are you from? From here?

-From Stuttgart.

From Stuttgart, that's nice.

I have a question,

with the first movement...

[speaks about the music]

Yes, yes.

You make any ritardando there?

-I just sort of follow you really.

-Okay, I follow you.

You follow me. Yes, yes.

-So we make together.

-Very important. Together.

-What's your name?

-Uli.

-Uli, hello!

-Nice to meet you.

Hey, Uli, it's all planned.

We'll follow the other. Thank you, Uli.

[speaking in German] I watched

the feature film Shine

to learn a little about this person,

because I had heard of him,

but I didn't know him. I didn't know

what he's like or what he plays.

In the beginning I thought

it could be a risk.

So I think the first step to take,

if you want, is to listen to him.

Then you can offer an opinion.

Then you can say,

"No, I don't want a soloist

up there speaking and commenting.

It disrupts my enjoyment."

In my case, I can filter that

out after a moment

and really hear the pure, wonderful

sounds that he produces.

If someone in the audience

can't do that, so be it.

They have to decide for themselves.

But to say from the outset,

without having heard him,

"No, there are others who are better,

younger, more perfect."

That is questionable.

And the music world seems to be

acting a bit like that towards him.
