Kubrick

UK collection that is comprised of musical selections from Kubrick's central masterpieces, complimented by pieces which the director used as 'temp tracks' during the production and by all accounts with every intention of using these in the film, only to decide to replace them late on. In 2001, the scherzo from Felix Mendelssohn's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' (used for scenes of weightlessness) and Vaughan Williams 'Antarctica Suite' (for the Stargate effects and scenes on the moon) were both used in preview showings of the film before being discarded. While on Eyes Wide Shut, Wagner's 'Lieder I'm Triebhaus' ('In the Greenhouse') from Wesendonck Lieder was a significant theme in the production for more than a year before being replaced. We have also assembled the complete vintage ballroom music from The Shining. The final movement from Berlioz's 'Symphonie Fantastique', with it's epic use of the chant from the Roman Catholic Requiem mass, the 'Dies Irae', and a Sibelius piece, 'Valse Triste'. Both were important to the evolution of the film. Finally, as a young man, Stanley Kubrick fell in love with Sergi Prokofiev's score for the Sergei Eisenstein's first sound film, Alexander Nevsky. He played it to death, and it would inspire him later in his own use of dramatic music. From the scintillating recording by Fritz Reiner with the Chicago SO, we include the movement, 'Battle On the Ice'.

Stanley Kubrick's most controversial, powerful and important film is a glimpse into an Orwellian future of nightmarish ultra-violence. Social decay is mirrored by political depravity. Kubrick applies his technical genius to a story of deep ironies and enduring relevance.

Gran Bretaña, en un futuro indeterminado. Alex es un joven hiperagresivo con dos pasiones: la ultraviolencia y Beethoven. Al frente de su banda de "drugos", los jóvenes descargan sus instintos más violentos pegando, violando y aterrorizando a la población. Cuando esa escalada de terror llega hasta el crimen, Alex es detenido y, en prisión, se someterá voluntariamente a una innovadora experiencia de reeducación que pretende anular drásticamente cualquier atisbo de conducta antisocial.
