Sir Simon Rattle--one of the most influential British composers of modern times--presents this illuminating second entry in the LEAVING HOME series, which explores the history of music in the 20th century. The title refers to the departures and changes of those 100 years, as Rattle conducts the City of Birmingham Orchestra while tracing the path of musical innovation from Mahler to the present. This second volume focuses on the departure from dominant melody, taking Stravinsky`s
Le Sacre du Printemps
as a starting point.

The fifth sublime teaming of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, SWING TIME is regarded by many as their finest film. The tenuous plot, which mainly serves to connect the brilliant dance numbers, concerns John Lucky Garnett (Astaire), a gambler and professional dancer. When Garnett arrives late to his wedding, his prospective father-in-law implements a punishment, insisting that Garnett raise $25,000 before he can marry Margaret Watson (Betty Furness). Still in tails, he hops a freight for New York, where he gets involved in a scrape with dance instructor Penny Carrol (Rogers). After following her to the dance studio, Lucky poses as a neophyte in need of training. Penny's boss Gordon (Eric Blore), happens to witness Lucky's incompetence, in the Pick Yourself Up number and is about to fire the young woman for nonperformance when Lucky launches into a dazzling display of terpsichorean skill. Impressed, the studio owner offers to get them an audition at the famed Silver Sandal nightclub. Arguably the peak of the Astaire-Rogers partnership, the dancers' nearly perfect blending of song, dance, wit, and decor only improves with time. Especially memorable
are the subtly erotic tempo shifts of Never Gonna Dance and the coruscating technical command of Bojangles of Harlem, a tribute to the great African-American tap dancer.

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
