The life of the greatest poet of his age is unraveled by biographer and filmmaker Andrew Sinclair – the visionary who transformed Thomas’ Under Milk Wood into a motion picture in 1972. Dylan on Dylan traces Thomas’ journey from fascinated child to fêted, weary adult via classic acting performances from Burton, Hemmings et al, all the while analysed by Sinclair in his own unique, microscopic style. A major addition to the Thomas canon. Cambridge Film Festival 2014: http://www.cambridgefilmfestival.org.uk/films/2014/dylan-on-dylan

Royal Opera House: Turandot
2013
MovieMusic
2013 revival of Andrei Serban's 1984 production. Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, September 2013. Andrei Serban's spectacular and thrilling 1984 production of Puccini's final and grandest opera has long been a classic at the Royal Opera House. First filmed for BBC TV in the 80s, this new recording – of its fifteenth revival – is in stunning HD and makes this famous production available for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray. The release will rightfully take its place alongside the outstanding Royal Opera Puccini DVDs of La Bohème, Tosca (on EMI) and Trittico. American Lise Lindstrom is one of the very few contemporary Turandots who can genuinely sing this ‘killer’ role, and is supported by a touching Liù from Japanese soprano Eri Nakamura and an unashamedly Italianite Calaf from Marco Berti. The young Hungarian conductor Henrik Nánási directs the large orchestra and all-important chorus.
