Tony Palmer - Henry Purcell/Benjamin Britten - Great English Composers Vol 3

PURCELL - Tony Palmer directs this prize-winning film about the great English composer Henry Purcell. Very little is known about his life, but the script - by Charles Wood and the late John Osborne - solves this problem by launching a group of actors in the 1960s on a voyage of discovery into the 1660s & late-17th century England, the extraordinary period in which Purcell lived. But it is Purcell’s music which is the driving force of the drama, with a stunning soundtrack conducted by John Eliot Gardiner.

BRITTEN & HIS FESTIVAL - 

A behind the scenes look at the Aldeburgh Festival and the opening by The Queen of the new concert hall at Snape

 

“A superb film (which) may well achieve the status of a classic, repeated again and again over the years…the brilliant editing of the highest quality, making a natural partnership of music and picture.”  Sean Day-Lewis, The Daily Telegraph
