| |  | Edition Staatskapelle Dresden - Volume 24
For the next installment of Profil’s Staatskapelle Dresden Edition, they present Bernard Haitink conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden for Bruckner’s Eight Symphony and Mozart’s Prague Symphony. Symphony No. 8 is one of Bruckner’s most memorable scores and regarded as the quintessence of his accomplishments in the form. Haitink was Chief Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden from 2002 to 2004 and has also proven himself to be an outstanding Bruckner-interpreter. For this recording the maestro shows a perfect Symphony No. 8. “The Bruckner Eighth… a valuable addition to the Haitink discography. …this is both vital and grand. The Dresden playing is superb, mellow and golden-toned, caught in an acoustic that has warmth and elasticity. The Mozart receives a well bred performance, stylish and free-flowing.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2009 | | | (also available to download from $21.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Nadia Boulanger - Mademoiselle
A film by Bruno Monsaingeon It is difficult for us nowadays to imagine the prestige that Nadia Boulanger enjoyed. In the wake of Aaron Copland in the early 1920s, it seems as if the whole of musical America travelled to Paris to benefit from “Mademoiselle’s” advice. Her world was made of rigour and intransigence, but it was also a world in which, once all matters of musical technique had been mastered, she could abandon herself to the mystery of inspiration. If she was imperious and strict – towards herself as much as to others – she also radiated tenderness, humour and the joy of making music. Nadia Boulanger did not like to take others into her confidence. In the case of my film, I was not in any case interested in questions of a biographical nature. Rather, I wanted viewers to sense for themselves the force and flavour of a woman who had exerted a considerable influence on the musical life of the 20th century as it drew to an end. These, then, are the framework and the limits of this film (which is not free from the faults of a first opus), but also no doubt the reason why she gave it her approval. (Bruno Monsaingeon) Format: Black & White, Color, Dolby, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC Language: French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo) Subtitles: English Aspect Ratio: 1.77:1 Number of Discs: 1 DVD Release Date: November 20, 2007 Run Time: 79 minutes Recorded Paris, 1967 “…Boulanger was Bruno Monsaingeon's first documentary. It captures Boulanger as she approached ninety, a living legend, and showing few signs of age. Although filled-in a little by the booklet, the lack not just of biography, but also context is frustrating, but that does not prevent this being a thoroughly absorbing film.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** “Nadia Boulanger has to be counted among the most influential teachers of the 20th century” Andrew McGregor” CD Review | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
