Bach: Goldberg Variations
$10.65  
It's a testament to Andrew Lloyd Webber's crowd-pleasing compositional skills that the original cast recording of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA went on to become the biggest-selling cast album ever. So when the time came to adapt his music for the film version of the monumentally successful theatrical work, Webber enlisted the aid of longtime collaborators Nigel Wright and Simon Lee. They produced an expanded orchestral version of the score, grander and more sumptuous than the original, and assembled a 100-member ensemble to do it justice.
However, the tragic story of the disfigured Phantom and Christine, the beautiful object of his desire, cannot be told without powerful performances of those roles. Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum quickly dispel any concerns regarding the adequacy of their portrayals. Butler's full-blooded renditions of "The Music of the Night" and the title song are tinged with a dark eroticism, while Rossum's account of "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" skillfully conveys her character's vulnerability and conflicted feelings. The soundtrack also features a newly penned song by Webber, the poignant "Learn to Be Lonely," sung by Minnie Driver, who appears in the role of Carlotta in the film.

Bach: Goldberg Variations
 $19.09 
In 1979, as China reopened its doors to the west, internationally acclaimed classical violinist Isaac Stern received an unprecedented invitation to tour the country. While in China, Stern performed concerts and gave a series of master classes to talented Chinese musicians at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. This classic documentary records this extraordinary cultural exchange. Stern and David Golub, the pianist who accompanied him, narrate part of the film, while Tan Shuzhen, a deputy director of the Chinese Conservatory of Music, provides a different and complementary perspective on Chinese culture. In addition to the reissue of the acclaimed documentary which captured this significant event (and won an Academy Award for Best Documentary while doing it,) this video also contains the newer film MUSICAL ENCOUNTERS. This tracks Stern as he returns to China, twenty years later, and catches up with his old students, many of whom are masterful musicians in their own right.
This 115 minute DVD features not only the re-issue of Stern's great documentary visit to China, but also the new film "MUsical Encounters", made twenty years after the original, in which Stern returns to China and finds that the children he once taught have turned into master musicians in their own right. The original film is about Stern's invited visit to China, shortly after the Cultural Revolution, ...

Bach: Goldberg Variations
$8.25
SWEET RELEASE & GHOST STORY is a collection of compositions written for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Zhongnei Dance, respectively. In creating the music for SWEET RELEASE, a ballet about a New Orleans romance, Wynton Marsalis clearly had Duke Ellington's orchestral work in mind. As with many of Marsalis's projects, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra provides a boisterous big band sound, playing as a tight collective unit while keeping solos to an appropriate minimum. Though the music is rooted in traditional American jazz, Marsalis adds a distinct Latin element to moments like the salsa-inflected "Church Basement: Party."
In contrast to these upbeat rhythms, GHOST STORY features a much smaller ensemble and a wider variation of moods. Based on an ancient Chinese myth, the ballet features a magical, shape-shifting woman whose transformations are echoed by Marsalis's dynamic music. Quiet and meditative at times, then lively and immediate at others, these compositions are highlighted by the solid playing of saxophonist/flutist Ted Nash and pianist Eric Reed. Although it's a subtler affair than SWEET RELEASE, GHOST STORY is an equally expressive piece.
SWEET RELEASE recorded at Music Hall, Tarrytown, New York on August 11, 1996. GHOST STORY recorded at Rose Studio, Lincoln Center, New York, New York on December 7, 1998. Includes liner notes by Stanley Crouch and Wynton Marsalis.
Personnel: Wynton Marsalis (conductor, trumpet); Wess Anderson (sopranino & alto saxophones, clarinet); Ted Nash (soprano & alto saxophones, flute); Victor Goines (soprano & tenor saxophones, clarinet, bass clarinet); ...
