《音乐家》讲述了中国著名音乐家冼星海于卫国战争期间辗转来到阿拉木图,在极端寒冷和饥饿的残酷环境下得到哈萨克斯坦音乐家救助的经历。

《音乐家》根据冼星海在阿拉木图的经历改编，赞颂人民音乐家在异国他乡遭受苦难却仍心系祖国的伟大精神。战时艰苦，冼星海在哈萨克斯坦隐姓埋名，却不忘寻找机会回到祖国。同时他的音乐《黄河大合唱》在遥远的延安时刻鼓舞着艰苦抗战的人民，激励无数有志青年为祖国顽强斗争。而在阿拉木图，他的音乐才华使他结识了当地音乐家拜卡达莫夫。两人建立了深厚友谊，正是他的音乐让不同的民族凝聚在一起，共同克服困难。他所作的《阿曼盖尔德》便是这样文化互相影响包容后的一个成果，对当地人民产生深刻影响，为两国的友谊发展奠定了坚实基础。

Astrid Thompson parvient enfin à réaliser le rêve de son père : réunir quatre Stradivarius pour un concert unique attendu par les mélomanes du monde entier. Mais Lise, George, Peter et Apolline, les quatre virtuoses recrutés pour l’occasion, sont incapables de jouer ensemble. Les crises d’égo se succèdent au rythme des répétitions. Sans solution, Astrid se résout à aller chercher le seul qui, à ses yeux, peut encore sauver l’événement : Charlie Beaumont, le compositeur de la partition.

The world of early 19th century England is usually seen through the eyes of Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters. Sue Perkins explores a dramatically different version of this world, as lived and recorded by the remarkable Anne Lister. 　　Anne was born in Halifax in 1791. A Yorkshire landowner, she was a polymath, autodidact and traveller who kept a detailed diary. Running to more than 4,000,000 words, the work ranks as one of the most important journals in English literature. Parts of Anne's epic diary were written in code: once deciphered they reveal graphic details of Anne's many love affairs with women. 　　Sue discovers that Anne was able to follow her sexual preferences in relative peace. It was only when she sought to profit from the Industrial Revolution by sinking a coal mine on her land that criticism of her private life became public. Anne acquired the capital for the mine from a wealthy female landowner, Anne Walker, with whom she enjoyed a relationship as close to marriage as the times would permit. 　　Sue finds out that what happened to Anne Lister's diaries after her death is almost as remarkable as the story of Anne's life.

Ken Russell's Most Unusual Film 　　It is hard to believe that Ken Russell was able to get this one "green-lighted" for release by a major American distributer as it is quite simply one of the strangest films to ever grace a screen! Russell, ever the visionary, takes the not so off-target view that Franz Liszt the pop star of his day and then offers viewers a comic book version of the composer's life and relationship with several infamous women and, most importantly, Richard Wagner. This film must be seen to be believed! And is a definite must-see for all Russell fans. It will also be appreciated by Roger Daltrey fans as this one captures Daltrey in his prime! Interesting musical work by Rick Wakeman and great set designs. It would be so cool to see this on DVD with director commentary! ...Maybe some day.
