Buy Marian Anderson: A Portrait in Music (DVD)

Rising effortlessly from child prodigy status to an established star on the world stage, Marian Anderson's glittering career as a contralto singer is documented in A PORTRAIT IN MUSIC. Drawing primarily on material filmed at the Festival of Music in 1956, this is a wonderful way to discover her incredible range. Further footage comes in the shape of a recital at the Ford 50th Anniversary show, alongside a fascinating documentary on her life. Later years saw Marian progress from a career in music to carrying out charitable work for the United Nations, and with sick children, right up until her death in 1993 at the age of 91. Having lived an awe-inspiring life, this release forms a fitting epitaph to the legendary singer.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - English

Macy Gray - Live in Las Vegas (DVD) Macy Gray - Live in Las Vegas (DVD) » Macy Gray - Live in Las Vegas (DVD)

Macy Gray`s unique, sandpapery voice--something of a cross between Erykah Badu and Eartha Kitt--and her mixing of vintage soul values with a more contemporary sound, earned her a 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for the song
I Try ). LIVE IN LAS VEGAS captures Gray performing three years later, on November 18, 2004 at the Vegas venue House of Blues. In the course of her 17-song set, Gray performs early favorites like
I Try,
and
Sweet Baby
alongside more recent efforts such as
Things That Made Me Change.
Updating old-school R&B with a few modern touches, Gray`s sound is part hip-hop, and part rock. While belting out material from across her first two albums, Gray matches her vivacious sound with an equally eccentric and colorful style, personality, and lyrical sensibility.

Antonin Dvorak - Rusalka (DVD) Antonin Dvorak - Rusalka (DVD) » Antonin Dvorak - Rusalka (DVD)

Antonin Dvorak's most famous opera has the distinction of the largest attendance of any ever shown in the Czech Republic, and has been performed in distinguished opera houses worldwide since its 1901 premier. Dvorak has assumed his place in the canon of great composers, and with RUSALKA he produced the great Czech national opera. This version, staged for Czech television in 1975, was directed by Bohumil Zoul, with stunning cinematography by Ilja Bojanovsky. Essentially a Bohemian interpretation of the little mermaid fairy tale, legendary soprano Milada Subrtova stars as Rusalka, and Eduard Haken as the water sprite who risks everything for the sake of human love. Many of the roles were filled by top soloists of the National Theater opera company, including alto Marie Ovcacikova singing the witch; Zdenek Chalabala conducts with an eye for the fantastical.
