Un Coeur en Hiver ( A Heart in Winter )

Daniel Auteuil, Emmanuelle Béart

Koch Lorber Films, 2006

Great film.
Daniel Auteuil stars in this evocative film about a love triangle set amid the world of classical music. Stephane-Auteuil-is a world renowned repairer of violins working in the studio of his longtime business partner, Maxime-Andre Dussollier. When violinist ...

Fresh Bait

Marie Gillain, Olivier Sitruk

KOCH LORBER FILMS, 2005

Thriller that holds your attention
Like the movie "Swimming Pool", I'm not sure I would have watched it three times in a row if it didn't star a stunning young actress in the lead. But watch it three times in a row I did. I have no idea what the "true story" behind the movie is, or how much is ...

Jean-Pierre Rampal [DVD Video]

EMI Classics, 2007

Rampal plays baroque, classical and modern works superbly
The earliest recordings here date from March 1958. Rampal plays the Handel Sonata for flute and basso continuo, HWV 369 along with works by Debussy, Ravel and Jolivet. His flute is the famous Louis Lot No. 1375 in 18-carat gold, a legendary flute made in 1869 that ...

The Thirteenth Floor

Craig Bierko, Gretchen Mol

Columbia Pictures, 1999

Great Movie - Very disappointing disk
When I first saw this movie on cable about seven years ago I was very pleasantly surprised how entertaining and thought provoking it was. I won't get into a lot of details except to say that I like the way the movie makes you think and the scenery and costumes of 1937 ...

Tchaikovsky: piano concerto/ Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition/ Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe suite no. 2/ ...

Cluytens, Orch Nat de la RTF

EMI Classics, 2003

Unique document
One of the great advantages of the DVD is the reappearance of long buried footage of past performers. Sounds obvious? Of course it is. However, this is a terrific and unexpected opportunity to see and hear a great artist such as Gilels in a work that he was closely ...

La Jetee/Sans Soleil (Criterion Collection)

Étienne Becker, Jean Négroni

Criterion Collection, 2007

Language and subtitles
Just in reply to the other user note about subtitles on the Criterion release: you can turn them off on the 'Languages' menu, it's just kind of awkward and counter-intuitive to figure out how to use the menu, and what 'SDH' means (subtitles for the deaf, I guess). I ...

Israel Philharmonic Orchestra: 70th Anniversary Concert

Euroarts, 2007

Brilliant Barenboim amazing Brahms
Daniel Barenboim shows why he is the greatest pianist of his generation--perhaps (who knows?) of any generation. If music is, above all, about the throb of our hearts and the awe we feel with the sense of agony and innocence expressed in this Mehta/Berenboim ...

Black and Pink

Valentina Lisitsa

ValalProductions, 2007

Valentina Lisitsa: Black & Pink, Well Worth Having !
We (I write this on behalf of myself and another fan) came across Valentina on the internet and soon realised this is a very exceptional artist. She has a Myspace with a following of awestruck admirers many of whom are very good instrumentalists/musicians themselves. ...

Henryk Szeryng Plays Brahms Violin Concerto, Bartok & Ravel (EMI Classic Archive 20)

Henryk Szeryng, Michael Isador

EMI Classics, 2004

The Art of Szeryng
The quality of the films are slightly above average only. The picture is slightly grainy but they cover the hands quite a lot, and the angle of the camera is good, some from the aerial. Audio-wise, they can amply let you distinguish and enjoy all the intensity and ...

Debussy - La Mer Prelude a L'Apres-Medi

Debussy, Ravel

Sony, 2001

Great Performances from the French Repertoire
This DVD captures concert performances from the mid-80s of La Mer, Afternoon of a Faun, and the 2nd Suite from Daphne and Chloe. These are wonderfully sensual pieces that von Karajan had recorded several times before and the DVD really captures some great ...

Sergiu Celibidache Conducts Ravel and Debussy

Ideale Audience, 2008

Gorgeous!
This is the most gorgeous sounding classical dvd I have ever heard. The video quality is fine. And the performance is genuine and lovely.
