DVD: berliner     DVD:       Europa Konzert From Lisbon / Pierre Boulez, Maria Joao Pires, Berliner Philharmoniker4 reviews Berliner Philharmoniker, Maria Joao Pires Euroarts, 2004 The Best 'Europa-Konzert' Yet! Every year since 1991 the Berlin Philharmonic has given a 'Europa-Konzert' ('European Concert') in a major European city to commemorate the founding of the orchestra. The 2003 concert was in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Monastery of St. Heironymus), a gorgeous group of buildings of golden hue built by a Portuguese king to honor the discoveries of Portuguese explorer, Vasco da ...             Gala From Berlin - Invitation to the Dance5 reviews Berliner Philharmoniker, Barenboim Euroarts, 2004 The BPO Dances What a wonderful idea for a New Year's Eve Concert--nothing but dance music, from Bach to the present day played by one of the world's greatest orchestras! My only concern on starting to view this DVD was that Daniel Barenboim has never been one of my favorite conductors (nor pianist, either, for that matter) and even if he had been, it would be hard for me to imagine him being in his element ...             BEETHOVEN BARENBOIM:BERLINER STAATSKAPELLE--SYMPHONY #9 (DVD)19 reviews It is nice to be able to listen to an orchestra again I grew up listening exclusively to classical music. WFLN AM/FM in Philadelphia. At the end of the piece, the announcer would tell you who the conductor, orchestra and soloist were, and sometimes the label, year of the recording, and so on. Like the announcer, some of the reviewers below are discussing the virtues of various interpretive styles. Nice to know that some people truly appreciate ...             Wide Awake6 reviews William C. Dement Hbo Home Video, 2007 Not your ordinary documentary I was stunned by how much I loved this film. It's a hilarious personal exploration of insomnia and creativity. The filmmaker and main character, Alan Berliner, tries to bring the audience inside his tired mind -- to feel, first hand, the strains of being unable to sleep. And it works. In the first part of the film I actually began to feel as tired and anxious as the filmmaker seems to be. But, ...             My Life In Pink (Ma Vie En Rose) [Import, All-regions] (Dvd)3 reviews Dawoon, 2006 A Cinematic Triumph "Ma Vie En Rose" Is the story of a little boy named "Ludovic" who desperately wants to be a girl. While most boys his age want to be cowboys or Soldiers Ludovic dreams of living in a fantasy world where dolls are larger than life and he is a princess. He is not free to do the things that feel natural for him to do ,That other people say are not allowed or socially accepted. He creates an ...             A Gershwin Night4 reviews Berliner Philharmoniker, Ozawa Euroarts, 2005 Very entertaining and special performance... In this special concert, such popular Gershwin works as 'An American in Paris', 'Rhapsody in Blue' and 'Concerto in F' were performed by Berlin philharmonic (conductor: Seiji Ozawa) and Marcus Roberts Trio led by Marcus Roberts, one of the most renowned jazz pianists. Except the first one, the other two were arranged by Marcus Roberts especially for the solo piano parts, and the rendition ...             Europa Konzert From Palermo14 reviews Berliner Philharmoniker, Shaham Euroarts, 2005 Claudio Abbado: Europa-Konzert From Palermo Gil Sham's play was exellent as I have ever listened to. The combination between Abaddo and Berliner Philharmoniker made me a special comfatable space and time.             Berliner Philharmoniker: 125 Years - A Jubilee Celebration (Berlin Philharmonic)2 reviews Abbado, Jansons Euroarts, 2007 A great set and a must-have for lovers of this orchestra This is a tremendous collection of fantastic performances. All the performances are noteworthy, but let me tell you that you will not find a finer performance of the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique anywhere, on cd or dvd. Since a previous reviewer (who thankfully removed his review!) didn't know what he was getting, this is what is contained in the set (from the Euorarts website): "This ...             Europa-Konzert From Prague: Mozart - Baborak/Berliner Philharmoniker/Barenboim [Region 2]3 reviews Mozart, Baborak Euroarts, 2006 The Berlin Philarmonic Orchestra in Prague...A feast of Mozart Another excellent DVD from Euroarts. This disc contains the Berlin Philharmonic's annual European Concert for May 1 ( the date commemorating the founding of the orchestra many years ago); the 2006 concert site is Prague, Czech. The conductor and pianist for this performance is Daniel Barenboim and the guest soloist is Radek Baborak playing the French Horn. The entire concert features ...             The Sweetest Sound3 reviews Alain Berliner, Alan S. Berliner Docurama, 2001 Just great One of the best documentary makers surprised me once more with "The Sweetest Sound". It's fast, it's entertaining, it's just Alain Berliner himself. Do not forget to check previous documentaries of this screen magician.             Beethoven - Symphonies 3 and 9 / Abbado, Mattila, Urmana, Moser, Schulte, Berlin Philharmonic5 reviews Karita Mattila, Abbado Euroarts, 2004 Not to be missed by Abbado lovers These 4 dvd's of the Beethoven Symphonies should be on any Abbado lover's rack. The sound and images are superb. A very emaciated Claudio Abbado gives the music all his talent, and the BPO responds and plays in typically superb style of the highest standard. The possibility of switching to the Orchestra's view of Abbado is amazing, and ideal for the Abbado worshippers. The performances are, ...             A Night of the Encores2 reviews Berliner Philharmoniker, Repin Euroarts, 2005 A Night of Fun! Truly, this DVD has become one of my favorites, due in no small measure to the manner in which it reminds me of my year-plus in the U.S. Berlin Brigade Band (courtesy of Uncle Sam) back in the 'sixties. Fact is, while I heard the BPO perform several times, I never had the opportunity to attend any of their wonderful Concerts-in-the-Greenwoods. This is a superb performance by everyone -- the ...             Berliner Philharmoniker - Europakonzert 1997 [Region 2]             Richard Strauss: Don Quixote - Berliner Philharmoniker1 review Herbert von Karajan Sony, 2005 A giant of a performance from a giant of a composer This classic tone poem reveals how man struggles within his own conscience on how to conquer his faults and forgive his human inadequacies. Herbert von Karajan brings this work to a magnificent height in his orchestra, a work fit for the gods.             Ma Vie En Rose (Mi Vida En Rosa) aka (My Life In Pink) [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] Ludovic is a young boy who can't wait to grow up to be a woman. When his family discovers the little girl blossoming in him they are forced to contend with their own discomfort and the lack of understanding from their new neighbors. Their anger and impatience cave and Ludovic is sent to see a psychiatrist in the hopes of fixing whatever is wrong with him. A movie that addresses trans-gender and gender issues in general through the eyes of a ...             Beethoven - Symphonies 1, 6, and 8 / Claudio Abbado, Berlin Philharmonic2 reviews The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Claudio Abbado Euroarts, 2004 5 for the BPO and Beethoven...Fewer for the DVD quality These interpretations are a solid balace of Romanticism and modern aesthetics concerning Beethoven. One measure of my Beethoven (if you'll forgive the personal reference) is whether or not in the 6th the flute is free and flying or muffled amid chaos. The BPO balance it beautifully. This is Beethoven at its best; however... I am working on getting my 3rd DVD of this, the result of skips and ...             Clothing Optional Joseph Baker, Brandon Smith KrazyKat Productions, 2008 It's 'Punk'd' meets 'The Dating Game' when Zeus Taylor, a struggling young psychologist, becomes an unwitting contestant on a new reality show called, 'Gay, Bi, Try Or Die'. The TV show is the brainchild of Hollywood wild man and Zeus' best friend Randall. Randall's been trying to get Zeus to loosen up since kindergarten and he's finally going to get his chance when Zeus' zany mother declares the house 'Clothing Optional'. Join Zeus as he is ...             Herbert Von Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker: Opening Concert Berlin 750 Years2 reviews Karajan, Strauss Sony, 2003 Opening Concert Berlin 750 Years I thought at first that having Mozart's "Divertimento K.334" mixed with "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss was a little odd. I believe that these choices were mostly done due to the rich history of Berlin, and how works such as these were important to the Berliners, and Austrians. Berlin and Vienna's musical elite, such as Sigmund von Robinig would commission works to be played in their ...             Sheherazade: An Oriental Night with the Berliner Philharmoniker [DVD Video]3 reviews Euroarts, 2007 Great concert recording Superb sound, great concert.
