The Royal Albert Hall provides an appropriately regal backdrop for A Tribute to Burt Bacharach and Hal David, recorded in July 2000. They are "one of the greatest song writing partnerships in the history of popular music", says compere Johnnie Walker. A parade of international singing talent proceeds to demonstrate the elegance and deceptive complexity of pop songs which haven't merely stood the test of time--if anything, they've grown in stature; a succession of mini epics describing emotional journeys through sophisticated lyrics and melodies. Now that it's cool to like them again, young performers are queuing up to sing them, with varying degrees of competence. Here, people like Shola Ama and Lucy Silvers seem overwhelmed by the occasion. Not so comedian Brian Conley. His considerable ego is more than enough to fill the hall but he's too busy loving himself to bring anything new to "What's New Pussycat". It's left to the showbiz legends to provide the classiest moments: Petula Clark, Sacha Distel ("Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head") and Elvis Costello ("I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself"). Then, like a gracious aunt, on comes Dionne Warwick and effortlessly shows everyone how these songs are really done. With Bacharach himself at the piano she slips into "Walk on By" and the years fall away. Watch out for Hal David joining the final line-up for a sing-along "What the World Needs Now"--a magic moment for any true pop fan. --Piers Ford

Produced by Robert Altman and George W George this highly acclaimed biography tells the story of an American legend. An unhurried look through the photo album of a hidden young stranger one has grown curious about. It has besides that special fascination of any good documentary peeking at humans in spontaneous action - the almost revelatory sight of people one sees every day but never as clearly as through the camera. The Bells of Cockaigne : An additional film originally airing
General George Armstrong Custer has been portrayed as everything from a vain but ultimately honourable hero (Errol Flynn in They Died with Their Boots On) to an insane, pompous incompetent (Richard Mulligan in the biting Little Big Man), but few have attempted an ambitious look at the man in all his contradictions. Robert Siodmak's Custer of the West, his final American production, attempts the task with fine results, portraying the career soldier as a pragmatist, a disciplinarian with a bullying streak, a loner and ultimately an Old World romantic in the modern age. Robert Shaw gives the role a regal bearing (though his continental accent keeps drifting in) and a sense of dignity, depicting a man who ironically identifies more with the Indians than with the US Army. Jeffrey Hunter and Ty Hardin co-star as his battling junior officers and Robert Ryan is memorable in a brief appearance as a gold-mining deserter. Shooting in handsome widescreen and vivid Technicolor, Siodmak makes his outdoor settings come alive and nimbly handles the many action scenes, most notably a chase that sends an escaping soldier whooshing down a log water chute like a Disney ride. Siodmak's sweeping visuals deliver both grand images and ironic counterpoint, but ultimately Custer of the West eschews the heroism of Hollywood adventures for a portrait of the corrupt state of the American military and one man's hopeless fight against it. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Alban Berg's devastating 20th century masterpiece Wozzeck is a complex psychodrama based on the play by Georg Bchner following the harrowing story of a private soldier who having fathered a child by his mistress descends into madness and murder. This highly-acclaimed production of Wozzeck staged by Patrice Chreau and conducted by Daniel Barenboim was recorded live at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in 1994. There is fine singing from Franz Grundheber in the title role and the top-quality cast also includes Waltraud Meier as Marie Graham Clark as Hauptmann Gnter von Kannen as the Doktor and Mark Baker as the Tambourmajor. Unlike many other productions which take a stark view of the opera Chreau's staging presents a more human view depicting Wozzeck and Marie as the tragic poor battered and exploited by the world because of their position in society.
