Musical genius, political hero and racist demon, the life of Richard Wagner reads like the ultimate Boys-own story. The Ring cycle is regarded as one of the finest achievements of the human soul. This documentary examines the connections between Wagner’s own spiritual vision and his art, including coded anti-Semitic references in his music and the techniques he used to mesmerise his audience. It is filmed in Switzerland, Italy and King Ludwig’s Bavaria. Musicians include the world’s greatest and most controversial performers: Daniel Barenboim, Roger Norrington, Siegfried Jerusalem, Deborah Polaski, Graham Clarke, Falk Struckmann with contributions from Wagner experts John Deathridge and Barry Millington as well as Stephen Hawking, George Steiner and Edward Said. Excerpts include The Ring, Rienzi, The Flying Dutchman, Lohengrin, Tannhäuser, Tristan und Isolde and Parsifal. 　　GREAT COMPOSERS – THE SERIES 　　This landmark series presents the lives and works of seven musical giants from the Baroque era to the twentieth century. It examines the backgrounds, influences and relationships that make these seven composers part of the very fabric of the history of western music. Each composer’s life and work is presented through extensive performance sequences, and through interviews and comment from some of today’s greatest artists and most respected authorities.

一个年轻的作曲家出发前往格鲁吉亚的几个城市旅行，非常希望能够采集各地的民谣。但是他的同伴却相信，他是受到一个革命组织派遣，为的是计划未来的行动。影片一开始便笼罩着一股不祥的预兆，像是暴风雨前的宁静。导演与摄影师微妙地在消极的安详和积极的罪行之间，营造出令人不安的张力。这种宁静的张力持续着，但是诡异的气氛却悄悄地扩散，爆炸、火灾、逮捕行动，直到恶运扩及全国。人物的奔走并不意味他们准备反抗，纯粹只是慑服于恐惧的状态中。他们想逃离，却缺乏勇气与时间。他们在等待一个领袖的出现… 　　This Russian drama is set in 1907 just before the Revolution erupted and centers upon a young musician who is trying to record all of the folk songs in his big country. His journey leads him to encounter all types of people. The only shadow is the threat of Czarist troops looking to exterminate those who seem to threaten the crumbling monarchy. The musician finds himself pursued when his map is mistaken by soldiers for a list of possible radicals. All those the musician visited are executed and as the story ends, a community religious celebration becomes a massacre when the troops suddenly move in to seize them en masse 　　改编自Otar Chkeidze小说《无名的风》（Veter, kotoromu net imeni） 　　1986 柏林影展最佳导演奖 　　1985 苏联影展最佳影片、最佳摄影两项大奖

1963年，肯·拉塞尔(《恋爱中的女人》《马勒传》)执导音乐电视纪录片，荣获当年全英剧作家协会最佳纪录片剧本奖。导演以此片打破了BBC纪录片的惯有模式，首次尝试了在非虚构类影片中采用演员表演的方式。前提是这些演员仅仅是模特，而不能出声。此片预示了肯·拉塞尔之后一系列音乐家纪录片的风格脉络。导演在02年重新翻拍了埃尔加纪录片《Fantasy of a Composer on a Bicycle》，足见他对此题材的钟爱。 　　BBC出品.记录英国最著名作曲家爱德华·威廉(Elgar, Edward William 1857-1934)生平。父为伍斯特的音乐书商及管风琴师。埃尔加未受正规音乐教育,但学习过管风琴、小提琴和大管.他有志成为专业小提琴独奏家,在伦敦从阿道夫·波利策上过几次课,但后来放弃了这一想法。他作为浪漫派作曲家终身不渝,虽然成熟时期茂盛的风华凝聚为老年人的深思和怀旧。他喜爱色彩变化,对乐队的驾双在当时无出其右.作品的充沛感情驳斥了某些人认为英国音乐应当稳重、含蓄的看法。但对更多的人来说,他那丰富的人道主义精神犹如新的觉醒.他所创造的风格和音乐语言极为个性化,赢得了"埃尔加式"的美称。
