- W2135666389 abstract "Reviewed by: Discovering Masterpieces of Classical Music: Documentary and Concert Beth Fleming Discovering Masterpieces of Classical Music: Documentary and Concert. DVD. [Leipzig]: EuroArts Music International, 2010, 2007. 2058228. $79.99. Part of what can make pieces of classical music come alive for audiences that are more accustomed to the visual medium rather than the purely aural is a video presentation that brings both the work and the composer to life for the listener. This set of five DVDs are packaged together under the title Discovering Masterpieces of Classical Music and each one has as its main goal this noble cause. The five titles included are: Discovering Robert Schumann: Documentary & Concert (Concerto for piano and orchestra: Martha Argerich, piano; Gewand hausorchester Leipzig; Riccardo Chailly, conductor, recorded live June 1-2, 2006); Discovering Felix Mendelssohn: Documentary & Concert (Violin concerto in E minor: Frank Michael Erben, violin; Gewandhausorchester Leipzig; Kurt Masur, conductor, recorded live May 4, 1997); Discovering W.A. Mozart: Documentary & Concert (Symphony no. 41, Jupiter: Kammerorchester C.P.E. Bach; Hartmut Haenchen, conductor, recorded live November 13, 2005); Discovering Richard Strauss: Documentary & Concert (Eine Alpensinfonie: Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden; Giuseppe Sinopoli, conductor, recorded live September 22, 1998); and Discovering Johannes Brahms: Documentary & Concert (Violin concerto in D major: Gil Shaham, violin; Berliner Philharmoniker; Claudio Abbado, conductor, recorded live May 1, 2002). The sense of being right there, in the midst of the live audience is made quite vivid in each case, so the participant watching these videos experiences not only some of the most magnificent works that classical music has to offer, they also get the experience of having some of the world's best orchestras, conductors, and soloists momentarily moving into the comfort of their own living room. Each documentary follows the same premise: images that connect the work to a historical time period are shown as a narrator speaks about how and why the work is important both in the composer's overall output, and also in the way it fits into the era in which it was composed. The narration is in English. Following is an interview with an expert, who in each case speaks German and this discussion is handily subtitled. Those subtitles can be displayed in English, French, or Spanish, or the English portions of each DVD can be translated into German so the whole DVD is presented in German. Each expert is a specialist who has deep knowledge about the composer and the particular piece under discussion, for example, the musicologist [End Page 142] who spoke about the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto is from the Mendelssohn Institute. In the works including a soloist, they speak specifically about performance aspects of the work. All of this information is interwoven with the work itself, for instance, features of the melody are discussed with the film then cutting away to the performance. The score is superimposed over the top of the image of the orchestra with the musical element under discussion highlighted allowing the viewer to both hear and see the point that is being made about the music. These documentaries are excellent teaching tools and simply bring the music to life in a visual way that engages the viewer. A music history or music theory professor could simply describe the whole piece to a class, but that would not have the same impact as these short, visually opulent documentaries do. Each documentary portion of the DVD is kept to approximately 20 minutes of playing time, so they will be infinitely useful in music history and music theory curriculums as well as in symphonic literature courses. Each DVD also includes a full, uninterrupted performance of the work, so that once the documentary has enlightened the viewer about how to listen to the work, they can then experience the work as a whole. Criticisms of such a fantastic undertaking as this are actually quite small. At times the experts spoke so quickly that any hope of reading the subtitles in each frame is impossible, so coaching them to speak more slowly would have enhanced the experience of the overall product. Three of five of this series cover concertos, and while the coverage of these concertos is very well done, it..." @default.
