DVD: Brahms     DVD:       Brahms: A German Requiem2 reviews J. Brahms, Herbert von Karajan Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 A solace deeper than tears Following her stroke in January 1865, Brahms hurriedly traveled to see his mother but she died, aged 75, before he arrived. In April of that year he began work on the Requiem. Although Brahms never spoke of the matter, the death of his mother was the impetus for writing his single largest composition. It bears little resemblance to the Requiem Mass of Catholic liturgy. It is, rather, an offer of ...             Dracula A.D. 197254 reviews Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing Warner Bros. Pictures, 2005 Can't beat them old dracula movies Yeah look if its Christopher Lee as Dracula you can't go wrong.But in this one they tried a then modern style to it which realy didn't work too well.Some parts were kind of embarassing if anything with the carryings on.Good old Dracula livens things up.I just love old Dracula movies.             Itzhak Perlman: Beethoven/Brahms Violin Concertos11 reviews Beethoven, Brahms EMI Classics, 2005 maybe the best "modern" video of these works It's hard to beat this DVD - Two of the best pieces of music ever written (Beethoven and Brahms violin concertos) One of the great soloists alive today, and the Berlin Philharmonic with a talented conductor with great insight into the music (Barenboim). Excellent production, sound and video - A few strange intonation problems in the Brahms still don't prevent me from giving this one 5 stars.             2001: A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]1003 reviews Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood Warner Home Video, 2007 oh yeah baby 2001 was one of my favorites when I was growing up. I read the book, which is a little more complicated. Do em both. The book and the movie. There was always many possible meanings to the ending. Figure it out on your own. Have fun my Space Cadets!!             Europa Konzert From Athens: Johannes Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1 & Piano Quartet No. 1/Daniel Baren4 reviews Brahms, Barenboim Euroarts, 2005 Brahms honored by Barenboim and Rattle A stunning DVD! The concert was recorded live at the Herodes Atticus Odeon in Athens, Greece on May 1, 2004, and features the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) under the leadership of Sir Simon Rattle. The works performed are Brahms' piano concerto No.1 ( with Daniel Barenboim at the piano) and the piano quartet No.1 (arranged for orchestra, by Arnold Schoenberg). There are many positives ...             Davd Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter - Live at Alice Tully Hall, New York 19704 reviews David Oistrakh, Sviatoslav Richter Video Artists Int'l, 2006 Grandes artistas ejecutando a grandes compositores I was surprised to find this dvd, it came out of nowhere, but I am glad it did. I've heard Oistrakh and Richters recordings and they are just amazing. This dvd is better than other Oistrakh dvd because it's coloured, which makes it much more enjoyable. The sound is great, the picture is good enough to see each player's technic. The performance is just great, specially the Brahms Sonata, full of ...             Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio5 reviews Brahms, Istomin EMI Classics, 2005 Brahms Trios Istomin,Stern Rose First Rate! I wish there we more DVDs made of this musical combination of musicians. thanks you .             Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Bach, Brahms: Alexis Weissenberg - Classic Archive3 reviews Brahms, Stravinsky Medici Masters, 2008 One of the Most Extraordinary Piano Films Ever Made My title applies primarily to the 1965 black & white film of Alexis Weissenberg playing Stravinsky's Three Movements from Petrushka, amazingly creatively filmed in Stockholm by Åke Falck. I remember seeing this film on TV almost forty years ago and the memory of it has stayed with me ever since. I am so pleased finally to have a copy of that marvelous film. Weissenberg was in his early thirties ...             Carlos Kleiber - Beethoven Coriolan Overture, Brahms Symphony No. 4, Mozart Symphony No. 33, Munich6 reviews Kleiber, Beethoven Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 One of Carlos Kleiber's last concerts This is one of Carlos Kleiber's last concerts, filmed live in 1996 in the Herkulesalle, in Munich. Kleiber looks more elderly and frail (he was just 66) than he did in the 1983 Beethoven Symphonies 4,7 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra (Philips DVD), or the 1991 Brahms Symphony 2 (Philips DVD) also in late 2004. There is a special sense of occasion here:the orchestra and audience clearly love ...             David Oistrakh: Brahms/Sibelius/Tchaikovsky7 reviews Brahms, Sibelius EMI Classics, 2005 Not for computers I've noticed that reviews that complain about defective DVDs usually get inundated with negative responses. Since nearly every word out of my keyboard gets that, I might as well plunge on. This DVD has something called a DVD-ROM built into it. I didn't try it. It's supposed to allow you to print out a booklet of info presumably about the music and David Oistrakh. However, the DVD itself will ...             Brahms: Complete Symphonies1 review Brahms, Swr Symphony Stuttgart Hanssler Classics, 2006 HIP without tears Roger Norrington has what we might politely call a "mixed" reputation, and his recordings of the Beethoven symphonies with the London Classical Players, in particular, have evoked condemnation hilarious in its hyperbole. Part of the problem in that case was a rather unflattering tonal profile, which was taken for interpretational coarseness when it was due, at least in part, to the production ...             The Brahms Symphonies / Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Kurt Masur8 reviews Brahms, Masur Kultur Video, 2007 sound pops picture breaks All the performance was great. However, in 2nd mov. of the 1st symphony and 1st mov. of the 2nd symphony , many times the sound was popping and pictures were breaking. Amazon sent me a replacement, but all the same. There must be manufacturing problems I suspect but it was very annoying when you want to concentrate upon music.             Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra: The Television Concerts, Vol. 4 - 1948-52,1 review Toscanini, Von Weber Testament UK, 2006 Volume Four Program Telecast: 3 November, 1951 at Carnegie Hall, New York City Introduction to the concert Weber Euryanthe ­ Overture Brahms Symphony No.1 in C minor, Op.68 NBC Symphony Orchestra Telecast: 29 December, 1951 at Carnegie Hall, New York City Introduction to the concert Wagner Lohengrin ­ Prelude to Act I Siegfried ­ Forest Murmurs Tristan und Isolde ­ Prelude & Liebestod ...             Alexander Gavrylyuk: Piano Recital4 reviews Alexander Gavrylyuk, Haydn Video Artists Int'l, 2006 An Enormous Talent After reading the promo on awards, etc. one is left with a certain scepticism, which is quickly transformed into awe, and no "shucks" about it! This 22 year old is already a stellar talent. After the initial Haydn sonata, one of the more rare items (and for once not another recording of the big "E" Flat, wonderful as that is), which is played with care and spirit, the performance of the two ...             Famous Composers - Johannes Brahms Johannes Brahms Kultur Video, 2005 Brahms was one of the seminal music figures of the 19th century. He composed symphonies, concertos, and many songs, piano pieces, and chamber works. Opera is the only major musical medium in which he did not write. More than any other composer of the second half of the 19th century, Brahms was responsible for reviving what is termed "absolute" music. This describes compositions which were to be accepted on their own terms as interplays of sound ...             Elena Bashkirova and Friends: Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival2 reviews Brahms, Carter EUROARTS, 2009 Jerusalem's Marlboro The Jerusalem International chamber Music Festival was founded by eminent pianist Elena Bashkirova. Like the Marlboro Festival in the US it brings together established stars of the classical musical world with young artists of talent for several weeks of intense collaborative work. This DVD contains performances from the 2008 Festival. For some reason Amazon does not generally list the works ...             Bernstein: Brahms Symphonies nos. 2 & 41 review Brahms, Boston Symphony Orchestra Euroarts, 2008 A Trip Down Memory Lane This DVD won't be for everybody, particularly as there are DVDs with Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in all the Brahms Symphonies. Brahms: Symphonies or Leonard Bernstein Conducts Brahms - Boxed Set But there are reasons for some of us to get it. For one thing, these performances are from 1972 which is a period before Bernstein began his inexorable slowing down of tempi, worrying for ...             Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra: The Television Concerts, Vol. 2 - 1948-524 reviews Toscanini, Brahms Testament UK, 2006 Here's the program Volume Two Telecast: 13 November, 1948 at NBC Studio 8-H, New York City Introduction to the concert Brahms Concerto for Violin, Cello & Orchestra in A minor, Op.102 Liebeslieder-Walzer, Op.52 Hungarian Dance No.1 in G minor Mischa Mischakoff ­ violin · Frank Miller ­ cello Artur Balsam & Joseph Kahn ­ pianos · Choir ­ Director: Walter Preston NBC Symphony Orchestra Telecast: ...             Amadeus Quartet (EMI Classics)1 review Mozart, Beethoven EMI Classics, 2005 The best; playing as one being My son is 13-year-old cellist Oliver Aldort, [...]. He listens to music all day long and he listens to many chamber groups and conductors of same music. When it comes to chamber music, Oliver has always come back to Amadeus quartet and I bought this CD for him because he says, "Even the best other quartets always have some out of tune notes, or don't have as ringing sound. The Amadeus quartet ...             Voices of our Time - Grace Bumbry / Helmut Deutsch, Chatelet Opera2 reviews Hector Berlioz, Brahms Tdk DVD Video, 2004 PROVING THEM WRONG The "Amazing Grace" has certainly proven the critics wrong. In the early 1980's, some critics said that Grace Bumbry's voice would be in tatters in a few years and that she would be voiceless in a very short time. This DVD, made about twenty years later, certainly proves them WRONG!! Grace still has plenty of voice plus the experience and sublime artistry to use it beautifully.
