"The Concerto" has recently received two César awards for best sound and best soundtrack, respectively. The film was also awarded four Gopo trophies for best editing, best original song, best screenplay, best makeup and hairstyle.

The dramatic comedy "The Concerto", which had its Romanian premiere on November 20, 2009, revolves around Andrei Filipov, conductor of the Bolshoi Theater orchestra and the greatest conductor in the Soviet Union, fired at the peak of his career because he refused to part ways with his Jewish musicians. Thirty years later, Filipov is still working at the Bolshoi Theater, but as a janitor, when, one night, while cleaning up the office of the director, he steals a fax reading that the Russian orchestra was invited to play in Paris, at the famous Pleyel hall. Thus, he calls his former colleagues and they decide to pass as the members of the Bolshoi Orchestra.

The 54th edition of the David di Donatello Awards ceremony took place at the Auditorium della Conciliazione (Auditorium of Reconciliation) in Rome on May 7.
