Recordings of all the Beethoven symphonies with their chief conductor are always a milestone in the artistic work of the Berliner Philharmoniker. So it was with Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, and expectations are correspondingly high for this cycle conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Where does the special status of these symphonies come from? Simon Rattle has an explanation: “One of the things Beethoven does is to give you a mirror into yourself – where you are now as a musician.” In fact, this music contains such a wealth of extreme emotions and brilliant compositional ideas that reveal the qualities of the orchestra and its conductor as if under a magnifying glass.

O impulsivo, irresponsável, irresistível Mr. Jones (Richard Gere) é um homem que conquista as pessoas sem esforço com seu charme contagioso e energia fascinante. Ele também é um homem que facilmente entra em depressão e desespero. A inteligente, dedicada e respeitada Dra. Libbie Bowen (Lena Olin) é a psiquiatra que, apesar de toda a experiência, está totalmente despreparada para tratar o Mr. Jones. Ele a desafia, a intriga, consegue ver o que ela sente por dentro, e logo Libbie se vê arriscando toda sua carreira por amor. Em uma história atípica do poder do amor, Mr. Jones esclarece as enormes complexidades da psicose maníaco-depressiva enquanto examina a frágil relação médico/paciente no difícil mundo da saúde mental.

If Daniel Barenboim is not the world's greatest living classical musician he is certainly the most versatile. In a career spanning more than 50 years, his name is attached to many of the celebrated recordings of opera, symphony, small ensemble and piano solo. With the later half of his career marked by distinction at the podium, one may forget that he is still an accomplished concert pianist. Here we are treated to both talents as Barenboim conducts the Staatskapelle Berlin and plays all five of Beethoven's piano concerti. From the accompanying booklet we find that Barenboim first recorded these works in 1967 at the age of 24 under Otto Klemperer. Now he is revisiting them 40 years later on the occasion of his 65th birthday.
