This exciting concert, performed by Joseph and Anthony Paratore on two pianos, features four groundbreaking works by twentieth century composers. Igor Stravinsky's revolutionary piece The Rite of Spring caused an uproar when it was originally presented both because of its harsh polyrhythms and dissonant use of the orchestra as well as because it was originally a ballet! George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F are two of the most popular pieces by an American composer for orchestra, and are one of the first classical compositions to be influenced by jazz. Charles Ives was one of the most influential and idiosyncratic American composers during his lifetime. His iconoclastic and rarely performed work Three Quarter Tone Pieces is featured as a tribute to Ives and his musical vision.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingAudio CommentaryLiner NotesGlossary of TermsPerformer ProfilesHistorical Markers for the PiecesKeep Case

Dancing and romance collide in ROYAL WEDDING as a brother-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) open their musical show in London shortly before the English royal wedding and find love of their own. Showcasing some of Astaire's most memorable dance scenes in film history--Astaire's hat-rack partner and his dancing on the ceiling (impressive even to those jaded by special effects)--this tale of finding true love when it's least expected, and least wanted, has delighted audiences since the movie's release in 1951.Flirty Ellen and dance-focused Tom have escaped the clutches of many marriage-minded partners, keeping their joint entertainment careers their first priority. When they leave New York to sail for London to open a new musical show, Ellen leaves behind many besotted men but no regrets. But when a ladies' man (and lord) falls hard for Ellen, and a British girl in the dance chorus needs Tom's help to locate her fiance, both brother and sister realize that this time love must come first.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingSpecial Features: Direct Scene Access, Lobby Poster, Biography, Trivia Q&A.Keep Case
