Franz Schubert - Alfonso Und Estrella (DVD)

Buy Franz Schubert - Alfonso Und Estrella (DVD)

Among the first of the Romantic composers, Franz Shubert's prolific output was under-appreciated during his lifetime, due to his harmonically untraditional and thoroughly innovative sound. ALFONSO UND ESTRELLA was no exception; finished in 1922, it was not performed until 1854, upon the insistence of Franz Liszt. The opera is a story about the love of Alfonso and Estrella, which is threatened by advances, both military and amorous, of Alfonso's rival Adolfo. Soprano Eva Mei's pure, clean interpretation of the multiple beautiful arias of the opera is stunning and affecting. This exceptionally creative opera is representative of the work of one of the most adept composers of the lied, as well as the characteristic sound of the Romantic period.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS PCM Stereo ODS

The first all-black film produced by a major studio, HALLELUJAH represented the culmination of King Vidor`s long-standing desire to do a project dealing with the lives of African Americans, strongly influenced by his childhood experience in Galveston, Texas. The film stars Daniel Hayes as Zeke Johnson, an impoverished young sharecropper living in South Carolina. When he and his brother Spunk (Everett McGarritty) go north to sell their cotton crop, Daniel falls for the seductive Chick (Nina Mae McKinney) without realizing she`s a shill for the rigged crap game of her lover, Hot Shot (William Fountaine). Finally grasping the scam, Daniel fights with Hot Shot, but his brother is fatally shot during the struggle.The grief-stricken Zeke is reborn as a preacher, traveling the country, spreading the word of the Lord. The cynical Chick appears among the congregation at one of his revival meetings and finds herself moved by his sermonizing. After Daniel baptizes her in the river, the couple elopes, and he finds work in a sawmill. But Chick`s innate restlessness will again create problems for her new husband. Although now somewhat dated, the film was probably the closest approximation of African-American life put onscreen up to that time. The film`s outstanding, meticulously researched soundtrack, ranging from jazz to spirituals, derives from the director`s lifelong affinity for such music.

LA PLATEE is a
French Baroque opera, often called a ballet bouffant, that challenges all preconceived notions of opera in a delightfully irreverent, anachronistic manner. The story revolves around a scheme devised by the gods to punish the ceaselessly jealous Juno by creating the illusion of an affair between her husband, Jupiter, and Platea, an ugly little frog who fruitlessly attempts to seduce anyone she encounters. Cruelly convinced by the gods that she has finally found true love, Platea and Jupiter go through the motions of a mock courtship and wedding, only for Juno to raise her veil and recognize the joke; poor Platea becomes the laughingstock of the country. This production by the Paris Opera proves an engaging romp, with a spectacular amalgam of styles ranging from hip hop to West Side StoryDVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
