VHS : Fantasia (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)
I have to admit, I'm an avid listener of classical music. So it's a small wonder why Disney's Fantasia is one of my favorite films. Every music sequence is pure gold (except maybe the Pastoral sequence).

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach = My second favorite sequence, it is a mixture of abstract colors & images, live action orchestral playing, and Stokowski's acclaimed orchestration of Bach's organ music.

Nutcracker Suite by Peter Illich Tchaikovsky = Although I'm not a fan of Tchaikovsky's ballet music, this one is very good and entertaining. The dancing of the fairies and flowers and mushrooms make for a heck of a good time for the whole family.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas = This is probably the most exciting rendition ... Read More

VHS : Art of Conducting: Great Conductors of the Past
This wonderful 2-hour documentary opens the door into a world which the general music listener probably never even knew existed, and for those who had a vague idea, many more exciting revelations and deeper insight will be gained from this tape. In this modern high-tech age where music is artificially reconstructed in the studio, a conductor seems almost superfluous, but it is evident from this documentary that the price we pay for technical progress is a genuine form of art. It is the art of shaping sounds like a sculptor shapes his clay, or like a painter adding colours to create depth, contrast, highlights and perspective. Where a complex piece of music and large orchestra are concerned, it is not good enough for each musician to simply play the notes written down by the composer, especially when the music is meant ...

VHS : Carnegie Hall / Edgar G. Ulmer
Edgar Ulmer was the king of B-movie directors, and this one was definitely one of his best. The story, for those who don't know it, is about a lady named Nora (played by the brilliant and versatile Marsha Hunt) and her son Tony. Tony's father dies when he's an infant and Nora raises Tony to be a distinguished pianist. Tony chooses another musical path - that of more popular music, much to Nora's disdain. Nora, meanwhile, has developed a society at Carnegie Hall for promising young musicians to study classical music. Tony goes on the road but comes back to Carnegie Hall for a concert, and wins back his mother's approval. Marsha Hunt is my colleague - and at the time I'm writing this, she's 90 years old and still going very strong. She agrees that the story was quite corny but the music made it all worthwhile. She shared a brief scene ... Read More
