Alceste: Theatre Musical De Paris (DVD)
Czech composer Christophe Willibald Gluck left an indelible impact on the opera, helping to move the genre out of the Baroque world and into the Classical one. His 1776 French opera ALCESTE is often thought to be his most innovative work -- one of intense passion and emotion. This video features Robert Wilson's magnificent production of the opera. Staged at the Theatre Musical De Paris, it features the historically accurate talents of a period instrument ensemble and the English Baroque Soloists. They are beautifully aided by the singing of the Monteverdi Choir and a troupe of dancers.DVD Features:Region 0Snap CaseAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (DVD)
Spawning both politically charged folk ballads that came to embody the very spirit of the turbulent 1960s ( The Times They are a-Changin ) and sprawling, stream-of-consciousness litanies that irrevocably changed the face of rock music ( Like a Rolling Stone ), the years between 1961-1966 were inarguably the most artistically fertile for legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. Director Martin Scorsese--who worked with Dylan on the Band`s farewell concert film THE LAST WALTZ (1978)--crafts an unprecedented exploration of the musician`s creative process during this crucial five-year period in the historical PBS documentary event NO DIRECTION HOME. Part of the channel`s AMERICAN MASTERS series, the film is the first ever film biography of the enigmatic, near-reclusive Dylan, who granted Scorsese his first full-length interview in 20 years for a startlingly intimate and endlessly revealing portrait of a true American icon.Bookended by his early days in the legendary Greenwich Village folk scene to the 1966 motorcycle accident that nearly claimed his life, Dylan`s exclusive interview is supplemented with a wealth of archival footage that includes home movies from his childhood and life on the road; unreleased interviews with colleagues Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Maria Muldaur; and rare live performances of classic songs like
Blowin` in the Wind,
Mr. Tambourine Man,
and
Positively 4th Street.
In addition, there is never-before-seen material from the Bob Dylan Archives` film, tape, and stills collection, featuring previously unseen concert footage and television appearances (including the infamous
electric
set at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival); outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker`s acclaimed 1967 documentary DON`T LOOK BACK; and more. The result is a richly visual counterpart to Dylan`s bestselling memoir CHRONICLES: VOLUME 1 that stands as a cinematic testament to the life and work of one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th
