Cliburn narrates the film himself, recounting numerous personal anecdotes along the way. We glimpse him in rehearsals of Liszt's Piano Sonata and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. We watch him perform in concert the last movement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3. Finally, a bonus clip shows the artist performing Schumann's and Liszt's Widmung and the third movement of Brahms' Piano Concerto, filmed at the Bell Telephone Hour in 1960.
