Movie: "Le concert" by Radu Mihaileanu, 2009.

This movie made Tchaikovsky's violin concerto popular.

Best Sound Award, Cesar 2010.

Plot (from wikipedia): A former world-famous conductor of the Bolshoï orchestra, known as "The Maëstro", Andreï Filipov had seen his career publicly broken by Brezhnev and now works cleaning the concert hall where he once directed. One day, he intercepts an official invitation from the prestigious Théâtre du Châtelet. Through a series of mad antics, he reunites his old orchestra, now composed of old alcoholic musicians, and flies to perform in Paris and complete the Tchaikovsky concerto interrupted 30 years earlier. For the concerto, he engages a young violin soloist with whom he has an unexpected connection.

Antonio Vivaldi - Summer III - by Nigel Kennedy

I've seen Nigel Kennedy twice in concert (jazz in both cases). Great musician and very cool man (and serious Guinness drinker too). His recording of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons is in the top 10 classical music best sellers ever.
