Filmed at La Scala in Milan, this is a faithful rendition of Gaetano Donizetti's three act opera, and is conducted by the acclaimed Stefano Ranzani. The tragic tale of love in wartime sees Edgardo of Ravenswood (Vincenzo La Scola) planning to marry the sister (Mariella Devia) of his bitter rival, Lord Enrico Ashton of Lammermoor (Renato Brusson). Ashton resorts to some devious tactics in an attempt to separate the two lovers, notably forging a letter from Edgardo stating that he has found another woman. This paves the way for Ranzani to marry off his sister to Lord Bucklaw, an arrangement which is thrown into turmoil when Edgardo returns from battle and challenges Bucklaw to a duel. Further twists and turns in the plot ensue when Edgardo witnesses the marriage contract between Bucklaw and his former lover, leading to a highly dramatic end to the sad story.Shot in 1992, this is a wonderfully staged production of Donizettio's work. Powerful and moving in equal measures, Ranzani's masterful conducting holds together an often complex storyline, and draws some remarkable performances from the leads. The audience appears enraptured by the proceedings throughout, which is a fine testament to this hugely enjoyable production.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo

Spawned from a little-known San Francisco synthesizer group called The Calculators, which included Vito Roccoforte on drums and Luke Jenner on vocals and guitar, The Rapture was born when those two broke off to form a duo of their own. Greatly influenced by the 80s British band Gang of Four, the group is to a large degree responsible for the post-punk revival seen at the turn of the millennium. The group made waves with their minimalist, funky baselines, abrasive, rocking guitar riffs, and barked vocals, and created a new wave electroclash revolution seen on dance floors worldwide. They created a name for themselves by touring massively with their energetic live show before they ever even released their first EP, MIRROR, which came out in 1999. Their lineup saw the addition of Gabe Adruzzi (saxophone) and bass player Matt Safer at this point, and by the time their debut album ECHOES received a major-label release on Mercury Records in 2003, The Rapture were minor superstars. This new release features live footage of a show the band played at the Bowery Ballroom, a small venue in the band's hometown of New York; the group gets even the notoriously static New York hipsters to shake it with their lineup that includes Pop Song, Sister Savior, Our of the Races and Onto the Tracks, Echo, and of course their anthemic smash hit House of Jealous Lovers.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Many years spent as a professional drummer have given Jack De Johnette the authority to advise less-experienced musicians on technique. In this instructional program, Jack offers the intermediate drummer his insights on how to create a more spontaneous sound. Through his reggae, funk, rock, and Latin grooves, Jack demonstrates such topics as cymbal technique, stick and brush work, and bass and hi-hat pedaling. Jack stresses that only by mastering the skills of tuning, keeping time, melody, and phrasing, will intermediate drummers be able to take their playing to a more advanced and seemingly natural level.
