IN IN IN THE THE FOOTSTEPS FOOTSTEPS OF OF CHOPIN CHOPIN Frederic Chopin left a musical legacy of some 225 works, yet what we know of the great composer is largely cliches. A master of Romantic music, Chopin was a complex personality with a dual allegiance to his native Poland and his adopted France. In death, his body lies in Paris but, at his own request, his heart is buried in Warsaw. Our examination of his life leads from Poland to France and Majorca to uncover the diverse influences on his music. Shedding light on the great pianist are Chopin expert Yves Henry and Polish pianist Janusz Olejniszak, who recorded the Chopin soundtrack for Polanski's film The Pianist. Item no. : TL00770230 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 49 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769792057 Price : USD 50.00 IN IN THE THE THE FOOTSTEPS FOOTSTEPS OF OF LISZT LISZT LISZT Franz Liszt is considered to be one of the first superstar's of music. The power of his performances on stage made the ladies swoon, and his fans were so fierce that his contemporaries gave a name to this phenomenon: Lisztomania. This young Hungarian prodigy was often compared to Mozart and helped to revolutionize the world of the piano. He was a composer, conductor, pianist and teacher and was the inventor of the symphonic poem. This documentary takes us in the footsteps of the indomitable virtuoso throughout Europe. From Parisian salons to the sublime shores of Lake Como, from Budapest to Weimar via Rome or Geneva, this revealing program then meets supporters of the memory of Liszt and pianists who dare to confront his work. But if the composer of the famous Hungarian Rhapsodies was a tireless traveler, he was also that way in his love life. Among his many female conquests were the two major women in his life, the Countess Marie d'Agoult and Princess Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein. Liszt's life was full of turmoil, but it was also one of great brilliance and genius. This informative and entertaining documentary explores a life worthy of its heroic era which saw the birth of Romanticism.

He was part of a group of renowned Austrian artists that included Klimt and Schoenberg. Mahler's story, from his native village in what is now the Czech Republic, over the Tyrolean Mountains and into Vienna's opera houses, is told through the photos of his family album. His granddaughter, Marina Mahler-Fistullari leafs through the photographs and tells the stories that lay behind them. Here, the full depth and breadth of the musician and his work are revealed.

French Can-Can is practically his theme song. And yet Offenbach himself never saw the Can-Can danced! What story lies behind this unique composer. Musicologist and conductor Jean-Christophe Keck follows Offenbach's ambitious journey across Europe's theatres and into the hearts of 19th-century audiences. Keck shows how Offenbach established himself as a comedy genius, and also how the frothy frills hide a great opera composer Item no. : FS00770235 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 52 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769792217 Price : USD 50.00 IN IN THE THE FOOTSTEPS FOOTSTEPS OF OF PUCCINI PUCCINI PUCCINI "I lived for art, I lived for love." Giacomo Puccini wrote these lines for the heroine of his most celebrated work, Tosca. But they equally apply to the composer himself. An unrelenting bon-vivant, Puccini has been called the last great poet of Italian opera, creating some of the most memorable music ever written. Through his letters, manuscripts and previously unseen family films, the great Puccini comes to life – revealing all his successes and his setbacks. From childhood religious processions in the hills of Tuscany to the great opera houses of Europe, Puccini spent a lifetime in search of opulence and spectacle, with a healthy dose of fast cars and faster women.

Tchaikovsky may be well known, but he has been treated with such reverence that much of what we know is a combination of romance and pure fantasy. Who is the man behind the music and the myth? For our answer we rely on Andre Lischke, a musicologist and one of the world's leading Tchaikovsky experts. We travel to Moscow and St. Petersburg to trace the life of one of the world's greatest musical talents. Along the way we meet a cast of modern-day musicians, teachers and dancers like Alex Prior, who at the tender age of 14 conducts Tchaikovsky symphonies at the St Petersburg Conservatory.

His music revolutionized opera as we know it, and his revolutionary politics helped bring about the unified Italy that we know today. In his lifetime, his name alone became a political rallying cry. Our cameras travel the length and breadth of Italy – from La Scala in Milan to La Fenice in Venice – to recount the extraordinary tale that is Verdi's life and legacy. His 28 operas were met with varying degrees of success – from the triumph of ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 29
Rigoletto to the abject failure of the premiere of La Traviata. In the end, history has had the final say on the career of this true Italian hero. Item no. : KF00770238 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 52 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769792095 Price : USD 50.00 IN IN THE THE FOOTSTEPS FOOTSTEPS OF OF VIVALDI VIVALDI Today, the music of Vivaldi is universally adored. His Four Seasons is perhaps the most recognized piece of Baroque music ever written. But the man behind the music was much less well understood. The celebrated composer lived with wealth, yet died in poverty. He led the life of a Catholic priest, yet was constantly surrounded by an entourage of beautiful women and had a love affair with at least one of his young students. Our cameras travel from Venice to Vienna to discover the truth behind his tumultuous life and his celebrated music. Item no. : WF00770244 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 52 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769792149 Price : USD 50.00 JASCH JASCHA JASCH A HEIFETZ: GOD'S FIDDLER FIDDLER Director: Peter Rosen In this revealing documentary about the legendary musician we see vintage filmed performance clips of Jascha Heifetz and learn that he was the first truly modern violin virtuoso, the man about whom Itzhak Perlman said, "When I spoke with him, I thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking with God'." This insightful film portrays an artist for whom only perfection would do, a musical wunderkind who went on to set the standards for nearly a century. We get to know Jascha Heifetz through home movies and personal family photos taken from 1903-1987, a prestigious concert artist so well known in popular culture, his name became shorthand for greatness, for everyone from Jack Benny to The Muppets to Woody Allen. This unique program includes interviews with the great violinists of his generation, and from many of his former students, telling how Heifetz was a legendary but mysterious figure whose story embodies the dual nature of artistic genius: the paradox of how a mortal man lives with immortal gifts - gifts he must honor, but which extract a life long price. Are the man and the artist the same person? What is the price each pays? And who was the man behind the music? This illuminating program helps answer these questions about one of the greatest musicians of our time. Item no. : WG00770265 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color, Black and White) Duration : 87 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769791067 Price : USD 55.00 JOURNEY JOURNEY OF OF DMITRY DMITRY SHOSTAKOVICH, SHOSTAKOVICH, A A The greatest composer of the 20th century remains one of its biggest mysteries. Nine days of the ocean voyage from Moscow to New York comprise the nine chapters of this documentary film about Dmitry Shostakovich. Unique, highly personal fragments of the composer's life are contrasted with the ideologically charged propaganda of the Soviet liner's staged shipboard events. The film reveals the personality of the quiet, retiring man who disliked publicity but was obliged to serve as a Soviet public figure; a genius faced with the choice between artistic freedom and harsh ideology, between truth and survival. Shostakovich's music, full of dark sarcasm and breathtaking lyricism, exaggerated joy and frightening celebration, plays the leading part in the film. Item no. : DU00770282 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color, Black and White) Duration : 56 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769791357 Price : USD 50.00 LA LA RESURREZIONE RESURREZIONE - GEORGE GEORGE FRIDERIC FRIDERIC HANDEL HANDEL George Frideric Handel's 1708 oratorio is performed in the magnificent Chiesa del Gesu in Rome, Italy.

In this film we will learn how her career blossomed after age 65, as she taught such now world-famous pupils as John Browning, Van Cliburn, Misha Dichter, James Levine, Hiroko Nakamura, Kun Woo Paik, Daniel Pollack, Jeffrey Siegel, and John Williams. They recount how Lhevinne profoundly influenced them with her 19th century pianistic tradition, inspired them with her humanity, and encouraged them to develop their individuality. Rosina Lhevinne's remarkable solo performing career began at age 75 and climaxed at age 82 when she made her spectacular debut with the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Leonard Bernstein, playing Chopin's Piano Concerto in E minor. This extraordinarily beautiful performance, as well as her previously unreleased chamber music recordings, is heard throughout the film. The Lhevinne story is told in her own words through informal conversations, recording sessions, archival film and teaching footage. Adding a special dimension are her students' performances and many insightful interviews with her colleagues: pianist Arthur Rubinstein, musicologist Nicolas Slonimsky, violinist Robert Mann, and her daughter Marianna Lhevinne Graham. Mme. Lhevinne's passion for life and music infuses the documentary, educating and inspiring the viewer. The Legacy of Rosina Lhevinne: A Portrait of the Legendary Pianist stands as a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and its ability to endure, transform, nurture and flourish.
