This DVD includes full performances of:
Elgar's Cello Concerto;
Beethoven's "Ghost" Trio

Jacqueline du Pre's extraordinary career was cut cruelly short by illness in 1973 when she was only 28 years old. It is remarkable that when she died 14 years later, she remained as vibrant a figure in the public mind as she had been at the pinnacle of her career.

Award winning film maker Christopher Nupen succeeded in capturing the spirit of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century in his classic documentary Jacqueline du Pre and the Elgar Cello Concerto (here restored and... more

Elgar - A Film by Ken Russell
DVD Region 2 PAL
  Elgar - A Film by Ken Russell<BR>DVD Region 2 PAL

  Produced by Humphrey Burton
Written and Directed by Ken Russell
Presented by Huw Wheldon

Ken Russell's Elgar has attained classic status since it was first shown on November 11th 1962 as the 100th programme in the BBC's Monitor Series.

Made at a time when much that is now known about Elgar had yet to be published, Russell's film is remarkable for its sensitive portrait of the rise of a young musician from a relatively poor background to international fame.

The film was also grounbreaking in that for the first time the BBC relaxed its taboo on using actors in factual films.

As Russell's tribute to music he... more

Elgar's Enigma - Biography of a Concerto
DVD All Regions
  Elgar's Enigma - Biography of a Concerto<BR>DVD All Regions

  There now seems to be a widespread acceptance that Helen Weaver is the hidden identity behind the three asterisks of Variation 13, but only those who have read Oh, My Horses! will be aware of Prof. Brian Trowell’s supplementary theory that Helen Weaver’s son Kenneth, killed in the trenches of the Western Front, is the ‘soul’ of the Cello Concerto.

Made for New Zealand Television, Elgar’s Enigma: Biography of a Concerto takes the final chapter of Oh, My Horses! as its starting point for an exploration of Prof. Trowell’s theory.

DVD - O Thou Transcendent
The Life of Ralph Vaughan Williams
DVD All Regions, NTSC
  DVD - O Thou Transcendent <BR>The Life of Ralph Vaughan Williams<BR>DVD All Regions, NTSC

  The first ever full-length film biography of Vaughan Williams, produced by the multi-award winning director, TONY PALMER. This film was shown on Channel FIVE in the UK on New Year's day 2008

Tony Palmer's film is now complete. Undoubtedly controversial it will also be very important in raising awareness of RVW. Two-and-a-half hours long, it looks at Vaughan Williams' life as a disturbed and frustrated one. Powerful with some harrowing imagery, the film firmly dispels the myth that VW was a only a cuddly folk song collector and recycler who was affectionately known as "Uncle Ralph".

As well as exploring his musical legacy, Palmer also... more
