DVD: gershwin     DVD:       Blood In, Blood Out118 reviews Damian Chapa, Jesse Borrego Walt Disney Video, 2000 East Los back in the day... I give this movie a 5 out of 5. I'm from East L.A. and this shows what it was like back in the day, pretty close. The only thing I didn't like was the pinche hüero's acting but besides that, it was all good.             Funny Face (50th Anniversary Edition)90 reviews Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire Paramount, 2007 Timeless classic I enjoyed this movie very much, most entertaining, what more could you ask from the everlasting Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astair.             George Gershwin - Porgy & Bess / Trevor Nunn · Sir Simon Rattle · W. White · C. Haymon · Glyndebourne Opera119 reviews Willard White, Cynthia Haymon EMI Classics, 2001 Gershwin's masterpiece receives a performance worthy of it. "Porgy & Bess" is George Gershwin's masterpiece and one of the 10 greatest operas ever written (see my list on Amazon). For a long time (and even now ... Leonard Maltin's review, e.g.) condescendingly called a "folk opera" (translation: "the Met won't do it"). Bollocks. True, Gershwin himself used the term, probably an attempt to slip it into acceptance through the back door. It's not only ...             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 ...             American in Paris/Symphony 2 Bernstein, Gershwin Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 To celebrate Leonard Bernstein's 90th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon has issued a number of musically and historically important performances on DVD. These DVDs document the astonishing talent and virtuosity of Bernstein in a variety of works. The concerts are taken from the 1970s and 1980s and many include Bernstein's educational introductions to the pieces. His invaluable ability to communicate music and teach the general public still astounds ...             Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Harold Arlen8 reviews Ira Gershwin, Judy Garland Winstar, 1999 A moving documentary on a great songwriter Like a lot of people, I had heard the name of Harold Arlen, but didn't fully realize how many great songs he had written. There must be maybe 30 songs we all know and love, with some of the most famous being STORMY WEATHER, OVER THE RAINBOW, COME RAIN OR COME SHINE and BLUES IN THE NIGHT. And, of course, it was very interesting and fun to learn more about THE WIZARD OF OZ. Arlen composed the ...             Neil Simon's Jake's Women3 reviews Anne Archer, Lolita Davidovich Platinum Disc, 2004 ALAN ALDA DOES A WONDERFUL JOB! ALAN ALDA DOES A WONDERFUL JOB ON JAKE'S WOMEN HE IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR & A MAN! I HAVE JAKE'S WOMEN ON DVD AND I LOVE IT I GAVE IT 5 STARS! FROM A BIG ALAN ALDA FAN FOR 6 YEARS NOW KIRSTEN             The Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland Collection (Babes in Arms / Babes on Broadway / Girl Crazy / Strike Up the ...37 reviews Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland WARNER HOME VIDEO, 2007 Worth Every Penny! I love old movies, so when I saw this DVD set of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musicals, I was pretty sure I would like it. How right I was! Judy's charm and Mickey's exuberance perfectly compliment each other in these four films. It seems like most of the other reviewers have dismissed the plots as being mostly irrelevant, but I found them interesting, so here are brief descriptions of every ...             Marc-André Hamelin: No Limits - The World of the Piano, Vol. 21 review Euroarts, 2007 An Instant Classic We are living in an age of phenomenal pianism, one in which pianists in general tend to have almost superhuman technical abilities and in which many of them are exploring hitherto unknown corners of the piano literature, to the amazement and delight of concert-goers. Among them, perhaps primus inter pares, is Marc-André Hamelin who has recorded four dozen CDs and has appeared all over the world ...             Where Eagles Dare220 reviews Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood Warner Home Video, 2005 "It's called the Castle of the Eagles, because only an eagle can get there." Clint Eastwood probably mowed down more of Adolf Hitler's German soldiers in Brian G. Hutton's "Where Eagles Dare" than he did western outlaws as either Sergio Leone's Man with No Name in the "Dollars" trilogy or criminals as "Dirty Harry" in his five Warner Brothers crime movies. Bestselling British author Alistair MacLean penned the splendid screenplay that he later converted into a much tamer ...             A Tribute to George Gershwin - Cuban Overture, Porgy and Bess, Rhapsody in Blue / Gloyd, Makowicz2 reviews Russell S. Gloyd, Adam Makowicz Image Entertainment, 2001 Wonderful! Not only was the music beautifully done with a nice spectrum of Gershwin's work, but the introductions by the director were just informative enough without distracting from the flow. I enjoyed the live setting as well.             The Gershwin Songbook Fred Sokolow Stefan Grossman Guitar Worksho[, 2004 George and Ira Gershwin's beautiful songs are timeless jazz standards, and they sound great on guitar. In this dvd, Fred plays and teaches six complete Gershwin arrangements, including guitar backup (for singing) and instrumental chord solos for each tune. Just for fun, Fred includes the rarely-heard introductory verses to the songs, as well as ad-lib instrumental solos. After playing each tune, Fred gives you a rundown on the arrangement, ...             Waldbuhne 2000 - Rhythm & Dance (Gershwin, Ravel, Sousa) / Nagano, Berlin Philharmonic2 reviews Nagano, Berlin Philharmonic Image Entertainment, 2001 Wrong Listing! Mercy, Mercy! Who writes those blurbs? No Sousa and no Nagano composition gets performed at the Waldbühne 2000. The composers are: Bernstein, Ravel, Matsushiba, Zhao Jiping and Gershwin. The name of the composer of the second percussion piece is not clear on the DVD case, so I leave it off instead of erring. The three star rating is for the stunning performance by the percussionist Eitetsu ...             Gershwin - The Concert Hilda Kasasyan, Mariana Pashalieva Stars Records / KVZ Music Ltd., 2008 1.

My wife and I are both big fans of Dawn Upshaw, particularly her non-classical performances of songs by Sondheim, Bernstein, Vernon Duke, etc. This DVD has a terrific collection of such pieces (taped in 1996) and is very enjoyable to watch. Both picture and audio quality are stellar. Note that the audio is recorded in uncompressed 48 KHz PCM instead of compressed Dolby Digital, which makes it ...             Salute to Vienna - A Strauss Gershwin Gala4 reviews Gregory Peck, Vienna Choir Boys DVD International, 2001 Vienna, American Style Great performances and a stellar cast. Gregory Peck is superb, and Maestro John Morris Russell breathes new life in American classics, performed in Europe's muscial mecca.
