Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Import The "divine Emmy" is still today considered the undisputed grand-diva of Czech opera, recognized in her day throughout the world for her passionate soprano ... Full Descriptionand a life lived in extreme proportions. The list of her accomplishments was long and illustrious: a member of the imperial court opera in Berlin, and a soloist with the Covent Garden Opera, she became one of the highest-paid and most famous singers in New York's Metropolitan Opera. Much admired by multiple suitors, her love affairs assumed operatic proportions, and counted among them were tenor Enrico Caruso, and French baritone Dinh Gilly, who took it upon himself to learn Czech just so that he could share the stage with her. Imprisoned during WWI on charges of mafia collaboration and anti-Austrian activity, the prima donna's life provides fascinating fodder today, and this documentary features a biography and archival photos recounting her exciting history. Also included are some of the performers' most famous arias, which will captivate opera lovers and casual viewers alike. Hide Description

Emmy Destinn review
$10.59  
The music's the thing in this glossy life of Benny Goodman - and the swinging clarinet great himself supplied the sounds. The story follows Goodman from his modest upbringing in Chicago through romance and marriage to his historic concert at Carnegie Hall. Jazz buff Allen has just the right bookish kind of hep, and Harry James and Gene Krupa are among the musical cameos.

| | Mozartballs DVD (2006)
Emmy Destinn review
$29.69
An Austrian astronaut, a Swiss high-school teacher, an American composer, and two women who believe they are, respectively, Mozart and Mozart's lover are the subjects of this fascinating documentary on the late composer.
Larry Weinstein's witty yet moving documentary film traces the eccentric paths of 5 contrasting Mad about Mozart devotees: Wolfgang and his lover Nancy (aka Steph Waller and Lynette Erwin), David Cope & Emmy (his Mozart-composing software), number-obsessed grave-side pilgrim Konrad Rich, and the man who put Mozartballs into orbit, astronaut Franz Viehboeck. The program is ironic and often moving, as the film refuses to mock its subjects, but allows them to speak for themselves against a musical backdrop of Mozart's greatest music. Cellist Steven Isserlis performs an intriguing piece of Computer Mozart. Extras include CBC interview, rehearsal & performance, Death Museum tour,
