  Film 1: The Final Chorale tells the story of Igor Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments a piece he composed in 1920 in memory of Claude Debussy. Using for the first time a montage technique juxtaposing short musical sequences and blocks of sound Stravinsky constructed his work as a bold and majestic piece with complex tempo relations which until today still strike musicologists musicians and audiences alike by their originality. Frank Scheffer tells this neo-classical musical adventure in a moving documentary taking the structure and character of the composition as the basic form for the style and editing of the film. His narration includes an interview with Robert Craft archival material on Stravinsky and performances by the Netherlands Wind Ensemble conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw.Film 2: Written in 1909 Five Orchestral Pieces is one of Arnold Schonberg's most famous compositions representing the revolutionary step from tonal to atonal music. In the composer's own words it was just No architecture no build up just an uninterrupted flow of colours rhythm and moods.Conductor Michael Gielen rehearses and performs Schoenberg's Op. 16 with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. Each of the five movements is interspersed with interviews as Gielen Carl Schorske and Charles Rosen who discuss various aspects of Schoenberg's life and works. Rosen also performs the last movement of Schoenberg's Three Piano Pieces Op. 11.

• Leonard Cohen - After The Goldrush | DVD | (23/04/2012) from £4.65   |  Saving you £1.34 (28.82%)   |  RRP £5.99

  With the dawn of the 1980's approaching, Leonard Cohen had already amassed a truly astonishing body of work that had long assured his standing as an artist of true genius. However, whilst his work up until then had been rooted largely in the folk rock tradition, Cohen's subsequent output saw him draw from a wider and more varied palette of influences that included forays into the worlds of jazz, synth-pop and classic rock, and crucially, unlike many of his contemporaries' ill-fated ventures in the 80s, he successfully maintained his gift for exquisite song craft. And while his output across subsequent decades has not been as prolific as during his first 10 years as a musician, performer and songwriter, Cohen has astonished almost everyone at every twist and turn on his long and ongoing career. Leonard Cohen - After The Gold Rush is a documentary film that focuses specifically on the period between 1978 and his dramatic live comeback in 2008. With a mixture of performance footage, rare and classic recordings and exclusive interviews, together with contributions from some of his closet confidantes, plus critical analysis from a host of esteemed experts, this film aims to provide the most comprehensive overview available of this maverick troubadour whilst at the very top of his game.
