This unusual glimpse into guarded emotions can be found in Ozawa, airing on PBS March 27. Shot in 1984 by Albert and the late David Maysles, it is a backstage look at one of classical music's best-known yet least understood figures.

His co-adaptation of The Ghost Writer appeared on PBS's American Playhouse in 1984, with Bloom playing a woman trapped in her writer-husband's hermetic life somewhere in New England.
