*Strings with Evan Parker* (2001) is an experimental free improvisation album featuring renowned British saxophonist Evan Parker alongside a string ensemble. The album blends Parker’s intense, circular breathing-based saxophone techniques with the extended techniques of string players, creating dense, textural soundscapes. Rather than traditional melodies or rhythms, the music focuses on timbre, interaction, and spontaneous structure. The result is a rich, abstract sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of chamber music and free jazz. *Strings with Evan Parker* is highly regarded in avant-garde circles for its innovation and for showcasing Parker's deep commitment to collective improvisation.

John le Carré’s acclaimed best-selling novel about a cold-war spy on one final, dangerous mission is every bit as precise and ruthless on-screen in this adaptation directed by Martin Ritt. Richard Burton delivers one of his career-defining performances as Alec Leamas, whose hesitant but deeply felt relationship with a beautiful librarian (Claire Bloom) puts what he hopes will be his last assignment, in East Germany, in jeopardy. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a hard-edged and finally tragic thriller, suffused with the political and social consciousness that defined Ritt’s career.

The Shakespeare tragedy that gave us the expression "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child." King Lear has not one but two ungrateful children, and it's especially galling because he turned over his entire kingdom to them. Paul Scofield is an ancient, imposing shell of a Lear tormented by his too-long life as well as by daughters he calls "unnatural hags." At one point, the king looks his eldest daughter, Goneril (Ireme Worth), straight in the eye and declares, "Thou art a boil, a plague-sore, of embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood." These are the troubles not even the best-trained family counselor could ever hope to resolve.
