Astor Piazzolla in Portrait (DVD)
The incredible life of Argentinean tango composer Astor Piazzolla is explicitly detailed in this absorbing documentary. Piazzolla enlivened the genre by combining his use of a little-known instrument called the bandoneon with an ear for esoteric sounds, leading to him radically altering the traditional template on which tango is based. The footage included here is culled from various archive sources, and spans 30 years of vintage performance from Piazzolla. Illustrating his diverse appeal to a number of musicians from varying backgrounds, artists such as the Kronos Quartet, Yo-Yo Ma, and Gary Burton pay tribute to Piazzolla throughout.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Anamorphic Widescreen - 16:9Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0- (unspecified), Natural sound/Music Subtitles - English, French, Spanish, German - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Bonus Feature: Piazolla: The Man and His Music Alternate Audio Track - 1.

Maria Callas: Living and Dying for Art and Love (DVD)
This documentary on the talented soprano Maria Callas sheds a fascinating light on her life and career. Drawing liberally on the final performance Callas made before her death, which saw her inhabit the role of Tosca in a Covent Garden production from 1965, this film offers great insight into why Callas may have decided to quit the stage just before her untimely demise. Her relationship with Greek billionaire Aristoteles Onassis, who left Callas to marry Jackie Kennedy, appears to be the main reason behind her premature retirement, and is discussed here at length. Many of Callas's friends and colleagues also appear, including Grace Bumbry and Placido Domingo, who offer further insight into her life. Ultimately LIVING AND DYING FOR ART AND LOVE is an absorbing portrait of a tortured artists who enlivened the opera world and brought happiness to millions of fans despite struggling to find some joy in her own life.DVD Features:Region 0NTSCKeep CaseWidescreen - 16:9Single Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English DTS 5.1 - English LPCM Stereo - English Subtitles - German, Spanish, Italian, French - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Additional Footage - 1.
