Posted by v4v at July 9, 2009

Explore the life and music of Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849) Freely inspired by the life of the great Polish composer of piano music Frédéric Chopin and more specifically by his romantic liaison with the celebrated French novelist George Sand, this documentary style film is structured around two mature works by the musician and writer: Sonata for Piano and Cello by Chopin and Story of My Life by George Sand. The composer’s music is brought to life on screen through a choreographic staging where actors and dancers, who are seen alternately by themselves or in the company of musicians, attempt to recreate, within a symbolic décor, the universe inhabited by the two lovers.

Antonin Dvorak: The Great Composers. Around the String Quartet No.10 (DVD) Music

Posted by v4v at June 25, 2010

One of the greatest composers of Czech history, Dvorak was a proponent of nationalism in music, incorporating folk influences into his work in Classical music of all forms. This documentary is a poetic exploration of his life and work, interspersing historical segments with fantastical dance and music tableaux set in the Czech countryside. Like Dvorak's own work, it communicates the composer's deep love of his Bohemian country home, as well as his interest in trains and boats. The melodies and rhythms of the music, both spontaneous-sounding and formally precise, evoke the traditional myths and Slavic landscapes that inspired Dvorak's compositions. Featuring the Quatuor Morency, directed by Bernar Hébert, the musical selection includes the String Quartet No. 10 in E flat major, Op. 51.
