Bach Brandenburg Concertos & Coffee Cantata (1983)

스트라우브와 위예의 첫 번째 장편영화로 그들의 이름이 세계적으로 알려지는 계기를 마련했던 작품. 네덜란드 출신의 건반악기 연주자이자 지휘자로 유명한 구스타브 레온하르트가 바흐 역을 맡았다. 전체적으로 바흐의 아내 안나의 보이스-오버 내레이션, 음악을 지휘하거나 연주하는 바흐의 모습을 담은 정적인 장면들로 구성된 영화다. 여기서 음악은 일개 부수 물이 아니라 영화의 가장 중요한 소재(raw material)로서 다루어지고 있다.

During a house concert, the Bach family gets a visit by their son Wilhelm Friedemann, who has just given up his position in Dresden because he no longer could endure the reprisals of his superiors.

Composer Johann Sebastian Bach is introduced to King Frederick II of Prussia in 1747. The aging composer and the young monarch clash and a battle of egos ensues.

Erbarme dich - Matthäus Passion Stories is a labyrinthine narrative in which notables such as Peter Sellars, Emio Greco, Simon Halsey and painter Rinke Nijburg explain their special relationship with Bach’s St Matthew Passion to Ramón Gieling (Johan Cruijff: en un momento dado). They speak against the backdrop of a church which has fallen into disrepair, while a choir of homeless people and Pieter Jan Leusink’s Bach Choir & Orchestra rehearse the Passion. Leusink isn't just the conductor, he is one of the main characters himself, with a painful past in which this musical piece has played a dominant role. Stories from the others alternate seamlessly with this. We learn how the St Matthew Passion played a decisive role in the relations between men and women, fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, mothers and their unborn children, and finally that in spite of our differences we all find a common denominator in the secret of Bach's music.

When entertainment lawyer Wolfgang Leighton decides to take a break from business for some fishing in Tennessee's backwoods, he ends up embroiled in a bank robbery and murder. Pursued by the killers, he's running from the police and a young hitchhiker appears to be his only friend.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle was one of the outstanding events of the past season. As before with the St Matthew Passion, star director Peter Sellars succeeded in creating a staging which made the spiritual and dramatic content of the Passion story even more intensive. The New York Times also praised the “brilliant and energetic” playing of the orchestra, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the “haunting, almost unsurpassable singing of all those involved.”

This is an exhilarating experience both visually and aurally. How wonderful that Barenboim is havng such success with Verdi this late in his career.The excitement and power is there in all the big movements and the tempi shouldn't upset anyone. There is clarity and drive in all the big choral fugues and the climaxes will knock your socks off. But it was the quiet moments I found most moving. The incredibly detalied camera work increases this sense of intimacy and the video quality is excellent. Really.

A two hour documentary on Johann Sebastian Bach. World-class musicians share their innermost thoughts and personal reflections on the power and genius of the most influential composer in history.

바흐가 세상을 떠나고 50년 후, 멘델스존은 우연히 푸줏간에서 고기를 싸준 종이에서 바흐의 ‘마태 수난곡’ 악보를 발견한다. 그 한 장의 악보로 이후 ‘위대한 음악의 아버지’라 불리게 된 바흐의 음악이 세상에 공개된다. 그리고 180여 년이 지난 현재까지도 피아노 조율사의 연주에 의해, 하모니카 하나로 바흐의 음악을 연주하는 트럭운전사에 의해, 지하철에서 ‘무반주 첼로 모음곡’을 합주하는 첼리스트들에 의해, 아름다운 목소리로 하나의 화음을 만들어내는 어린이 합창단들에 의해 그의 음악들은 여전히 생생하게 연주되어지며 사람들에게 커다란 감동을 선사한다.

A memorable intellectual journey to rediscover Baroque music, from the handmade fabrication of a harpsichord by master luthier Titus Crijnen to the interpretation of several scores by Bach and other Baroque composers by the Spanish ensemble La Reverencia.

A beautiful, sensitive, reverent performance. Fischer allows Bach to speak with no unnecessary flourishes. Padmore as the Evangelist is superb, and the other soloists and choirs are near perfect. And of course the Concertgebouw orchestral musicians are absolutely first class.

George Frederic Handel's oratorio Theodora, in its first-ever staged version at the Salzburg Festival, was among the highlights of Handel Year 2009. Acclaimed director Christof Loy presented Theodora as the profoundly moving tale of a woman who prefers death to denying her faith, an interpretation captivated with bravura by world-renowned video director Hannes Rossacher. A luminous Christine Schaefer and countertenor Bejun Mehta formed a perfect leading couple altogether suited to conductor Ivor Bolton's vigorus reading.
