• Pierre Boulez - Eclat / Sur Incises | DVD | (30/01/2006) from £15.74   |  Saving you £2.25 (12.50%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Film 1: Eclat is a real study of resonance written for fifteen instruments Pierre Boulez created in 1965 a glittering jewel of tightness and rationality a riotously colourful mixture of open-form freedom and serialist order. Eclat (meaning to burst out) is a kind of concerto for conductor where the musicians in the ensemble play semi-improvisational material prescribed within boxes in Boulez's score. Given this material the conductor composes and controls the work via an elaborate and complex series of cues directing the content of the music and deciding which musicians play when as well as what they play. In this film by Frank Scheffer Eclat is performed by the Netherlands' Nieuw ensemble conducted by Ed Spanjaard coached by Boulez himself.Film 2: In A Lesson by Pierre Boulez the composer explains with warmth modesty and infectious enthusiasm the hidden architecture of Sur Incises one of his most recent works to a non-specialized young audience. On a number of occasions Pierre Boulez has shown that he can come up with the right words and gestures to throw a light on complex musical scores. Here he demonstrates his teaching talents in talking about his work as a composer and offers a witty exposition of the musical movements that make up its construction. This masterclass documentary is complemented by a concert with Boulez conducting the nine soloists of the Ensemble Intercontemporain who follow him with visible pleasure through the mysteries of this spectacular piece.

• James Dean - The Rare Movies | DVD | (17/03/2003) from £25.00   |  Saving you £-12.01 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  In some ways, calling this collection James Dean: The Rare Movies is a little misleading. After all, the "all-purpose delinquent"--as described in David Dalton's fascinating booklet notes--made only three feature films and, in true iconic style, died a youthful, violent death. Yet the collection works somewhat on an ironic level. The 1950s was a decade in which television established itself as the biggest threat to the cinematic medium, and this is a selection of some of the television dramas and commercials that Dean made on his way up to Hollywood stardom, presented with the same introductions and sponsors' messages of the original transmissions. So how good was he at the beginning? All the raw material was there: the restless misfit, the damaged juvenile and the complex punk. In 1954's "I am a Fool" he stars with Natalie Wood in what turned out to be a rehearsal for Rebel Without a Cause on the big screen. At times he moves with an almost balletic grace, at others he twitches with that awkwardness that still leaves new generations of fans totally enthralled. Television was never going to contain him. This is like watching history in the making and is all the more compelling because we know the tragedy that lay but a short way ahead. On the DVD: It scarcely matters that these television dramas and commercials are presented in 4:3 format. The picture quality is inevitably poor and the sound rough, sometimes to the point of inaudibility. Made in television's explosive adolescence, they were never intended to be monuments to technological brilliance. We're just lucky they've survived at all. The track selection offers a maze-like array of choices for you to skip between films, introductions and commercial breaks and occasionally this can be confusing. A chronology on the DVD itself would have helped.--Piers Ford
