• Bach: Brandenburg Concertos | DVD | (04/03/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra are a class act, and their performances here of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos is indisputably high quality. Though the formal concert garb of the players (even the intricately decorated harpsichord conforms to the black-and-white dress code) might suggest otherwise, these are not live performances but offer a kind of private concert for us, the home viewer. The setting is suitably impressive--a magnificently marbled and parquet-floored room in Cöthen Castle (Bach was in the employ of the court of Cöthen when he wrote these concertos). And the virtuosity of the setting is matched by the playing, though sometimes the speed suggests that the players are anxious to catch the last train home. So much for the audio; how about the visuals? Well, options are admittedly limited but the cameraman seems to have something of a fixation with the (male) first horn-player's earring throughout the First Concerto. And close-ups of oboists as they tackle taxing solos rarely show them to their best advantage. That's a small gripe, though, as an introduction to one of the masterpieces of the Baroque repertoire, and as a demonstration of virtuoso playing of period instruments, this certainly has strong appeal. Best, however, to avoid the additional brief video clips tagged onto the end. The second reduces a movement from Bach's Coffee Cantata to badly sung kitsch, while the third features a Pythonesque cut-out Bach (complete with pink wig) prancing round Cöthen Castle. On the DVD: there are little in the way of extras. Subtitles are provided in English, German, Italian, French, Spanish and Japanese and of course you can pick and choose tracks. The booklet provides some basic but useful information about the works. The picture is anamorphic widescreen (16:9). --Harriet Smith

• The Beatles - Composing The Beatles Songbook | DVD | (18/02/2008) from £9.39   |  Saving you £6.59 (102.97%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The Beatles' music is more familiar to more people than that of any other group artist or composer; there can barely be an adult on the planet who can't hum at least a couple of their tunes. And the composers of the vast majority of these timeless songs have arguably eclipsed the offerings of anyone else who's penned a tune before or since. Composing the Beatles Songbook - Lennon and McCartney 1957 - 1965 is an independent documentary film which reviews the partnership music and impact of Lennon and McCartney as composers. From the day they met in 1957 until the release of the Rubber Soul album at the end of 1965 the program dissects and contrasts reassesses and ultimately provides one of the finest films made about the band during this period. Drawing on rare footage classic performances and penetrating revelations from friends of the pair Beatles academics and musicologists this program discovers the true story of how those classic songs were written.
