passion ( 1954 ) / tennessee ' s partner ( 1955 ) - region free pal double - dvd [ import ] , plays in original english audio without subtitles : official regia films spanish region 0 ( region free ) pal double - dvd release as pictured . contains two films : ' passion ' ( 1954 , 1 . 33 : 1 full frame , colour , 81 mins ) & ' tennessee ' s partner ' ( 1955 , 2 . 00 : 1 anamorphic widescreen , colour , 83 mins ) . passion : in mexican california , a land feud erupts and murder is committed when rich landowner don domingo reneges on an earlier verbal promise made by his father to grant to the tenant melo family a piece of land . tennessee ' s partner : in a california mining town , a gold miner , a saloon gambler and a cat - house madam strike an odd alliance revolving around a gold mine claim .
after i ` d cut out the subtitles to watch it , half way through ` passion ` they came back on and i couldn ` t get rid of them , spoiling the rest of the film , hence only 3 stars .
every step depends on stifled emotions and closely guarded secrets , resulting in a buildup of operatic passion that endows everyday gestures and inflections with grandeur and nobility .

burr began as a stage actor who performed small roles in radio . his early film work was remarkable only in the sense that he rarely played anything other than the villain in such films as raw deal ( 1948 ) . burr even managed to play the
heavy
in comedies , such as the marx brothers ' love happy ( 1949 ) . when he was in the courtroom drama a place in the sun ( 1951 ) he assumed the role of the relentless district attorney . during these movie years burr continued to work in several radio series such as pat novak for hire ( 1949 ) and dragnet ( 1949 - 1950 ) . in 1954 he confirmed his villainous persona with his appearance as the menacing wife - killer lars thorwald in alfred hitchcock ' s rear window ( 1954 ) .

it’s a shame that crimes of passion fails on a human level given how it boasts of technical merits which could compete with many a policier or romantic drama : arthur wong ’s camerawork and man lim - chung ’s production has provided both tension and context as the story moves from shenzhen’s skyscraper - laden landscape to the rural hinterlands in yunnan , where the film’s deadly denouement takes place . what this film need is solid sentiment about the human condition and its inner desires : it’s about time gao is to rediscover his real chinese blues .
like many of these b - movie programmers passion handily moves between serious drama and staunch action , with emphasis on the latter than the former . rosa and the baby are set up as lovely statues waiting for the wrecking ball to come through – in this case , don domingo with his “no witness” line straight out of death wish ( 1974 ) . bound more by dna than anything passing for love ( or passion ) , juan sets off to avenge them . honestly , tonia’s motivations are far clearer than juan’s .

this film is a fairly quick paced western - they get to point of revenge fast within the first few minutes of the film - there is no drawn out waiting game . the character building happens during the
revenge
so there is none of character building before the good stuff starts like you see in so many of today ' s films .

“i attended wolverhampton from 2005 - 2010 to study a ba ( hons ) and ma in film studies . i am truly amazed with how much i learnt each lesson and how much i still use today . the tutors were friendly , passionate and engaging with interesting specialisms . i learnt about all different eras , genres , theories and cinema from around the world . each tutor was enthusiastic about the course , the subjects and about each student . i felt i was fully supported whilst on the course and they brought out my confidence and helped me to understand my strengths . after the course i went into teaching media studies as a film specialist , i now teach many on the concepts and theories i was taught on the course . i would recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for film and looking into the deeper meanings . ” - emma paulley
“a quiet passion , ” his latest film , goes back further in time than any of his past pictures , to the middle of the 19 th century , and returns him to america , a place he has now visited three times in his filmography . ( his 1995 film of john kennedy toole’s novel “the neon bible” was set in 1940s georgia . ) working from his own original screenplay , “a quiet passion” treats the life and the work of the poet emily dickinson , whose vast body of work was mostly unpublished in her lifetime . the movie begins with young emily ( played by emma bell ) keeping still in the middle of a chairless schoolroom as her fellow students move to the left or to the right , following the instructive questioning of a teacher who asks in just what way they desire to “come to god and be saved . ” standing in the middle of the room emily tells her teacher , “i am not even awakened yet . ” therefore , she asks , “how may i repent ? ”
originally marketed with the english title of a sentimental story , the final moniker of mainland chinese director gao qunshu ’s latest film speaks volumes about his approach towards adapting novelist hai an ’s 1994 novel about a policewoman’s forbidden relationship with a gangland figure she was assigned to protect : high on action sequences , law - enforcement procedures and a detective’s inner struggle about throwing her professional rulebook out of the window , crimes of passion flounders with its unconvincing depiction of the dangerous liaisons crucial to the development of the story .

our last friday with yvonne de carlo sees her starring in her most passionate project yet , entitled… . . passion ! as with frontier gal ( 1945 ) , de carlo’s films placed generic plots in convenient genres demanding specific plot paths with the finished product feeling surprisingly fresh by emphasizing narrative over setting . unfortunately , the plots are never executed nearly as well as they should be , but where else but a de carlo film would you find a feature that plays like the death wish series in the old west ?

a huge asset in passion is the amazing scenery and beautiful colour cinematography by john alton . as the action unfolds and wilde tracks down and confronts the bad men , he travels from attractive ruins to the snowy sierras . that last cold trek takes a long time , as burr and de carlo follow wilde following acosta up the mountain , but the combination of studio and location footage makes for an impressive sequence that ends with a cabin shootout . my main quibble with the movie was the use of distracting accents , as if everyone recently started esl lessons . the halting delivery never sounded natural , especially when the lines spoken were wise old sayings or legal disputes . otherwise passion was enjoyable , with enough to give western fans a decent story and a nice eyeful .

the ba ( hons ) film and television studies at the university of wolverhampton is one of the only courses of its kind in the uk to hold all sessions , including lectures , seminars and film and television programme screenings , in a working public cinema . light house media centre has two cinemas with full size hd and 35mm screenings , which means that you will see films in their original intended context , format and aspect ratio whenever possible .
passion is a taco bell western , in that , like most westerns of the time period it’s a lot of white people with spanish names dropping the occasional “hacienda” – you gotta “hah” when you say it – or speaking in weird pigin spanish . this isn’t one of the most heinous offenders of the spanish language i’ve watched , but you’ll smile every time you’re supposed to believe cornel wilde is a mexican .
it’s perhaps a surprise to find gao misfiring so soon after his critical - acclaimed beijing blues , a triple award - winner at taiwan’s golden horses last year . a low - budget documentary - style police - procedural about a police officer and the near - absurd challenges he had to face while patrolling his working - class milieu , beijing blues offers nuanced characters , an engaging narrative and a no - frills but all - heartfelt tribute to the difficult lives being led in china today . not that any of this is evident in crimes of passion : belying a title which would befit an erotic thriller – this is an official - sanctioned mainland chinese film , so that’s a non - starter of a genre in any case – gao’s latest film , which opened in china on august 8 , is vague about the transgressions being committed and convoluted about the emotions at play .
graduates in film and television studies have found work in the media and creative industries , including broadcasting corporations such as the bbc and pathé news , film production , journalism , media positions , teaching and television . some film and television studies graduates take higher degrees , notably our own ma in film studies , as well as phds . others have set up media production companies or have become freelance writers . comment from external examiner :
the content of the route is clearly in line with subject benchmarks . the modules on the route provide for a stimulating mix of subject matter themed variously around issues of theory , genre , industry and geographical / national location . the core skills demanded of the student : those of detailed investigation , cogent argument and debate , fluency in written and verbal response are in high demand in a knowledge economy . i was pleased to see that within the revalidated route the scope of student choice was maintained .
de palma has also sprinkled the proceedings with waggish references to some of his earlier cult classics . a new plot development could have come straight out of
sisters ,
and the entire story , with its tale of a female power struggle that ends violently , is essentially an adult version of
carrie
with the cruelties located in boardroom instead of the locker room . these additions give
passion
an idiosyncratic personal touch that has become increasingly rare in movies these days , and that is one of depalma ' s hallmarks . this is a film that was clearly made by an individual , not a committee , and it shows in every frame .

“a quiet passion” is not suffused with the romantic ache or agony of some of davies’ other films . it does not mourn for what emily dickinson did not have . rather it admires her for what she was , and what literary posterity made of her . and it invites the viewer to take seriously her mode of thought and of art ; not just to take seriously , but to revel , inasmuch as one is able to revel in work that is simultaneously so austere and so rich . like the movie itself .

is set largely in the german office of an international p . r . firm where the trappings are as immaculate as the dealings are dirty . rachel mcadams plays a rising executive , christine . noomi rapace is her immediate subordinate , isabelle . at first glance , they seem to have a harmonious working relationship . we learn otherwise when isabelle devises a brilliant new ad campaign for a smartphone , but christine winds up snaring the credit , and with it , the possibility of a much - desired promotion to the new york office .

story - telling logic in these movies is a moot point that passion amends through expressive cinematography and one of de carlo’s more unique characters . the last four weeks have given us de carlo in two roles : saloon girl and femme fatale ( who visits saloons ) . de carlo failed to live up to the promise of her looks , or hollywood wouldn’t allow her the chance . playing dual roles she inhabits her role as the beautiful clotheshorse we saw in salome , where she danced ( 1945 ) , and shrugs off those roles like a dirty coat by playing tonia .

like so much of dwan’s work , this film never seems to get the attention it deserves . those , mainly , westerns he made in the 50s , near the end of his long career , are uniformly good in my opinion . most were photographed by alton and this , combined with dwan’s eye , made for visually fascinating films .
in this film version of lloyd c . douglas ' spiritual novel , rock hudson plays a reckless playboy who is indirectly responsible for the death of a kindly doctor . the dead man ' s wife , jane wyman , refuses to accept hudson ' s apologies . when wyman is blinded , hudson decides to

this is a film i was introduced to via lon chaney jr . . . watching his westerns . this one is a pretty good western with a great cast - a few big names . the story gets interesting right from the start - so it drew me in after about 10 minutes of viewing and i ' m not a big fan of western movies .
if this storyline sounds a bit familiar , it may be because the film is a remake of the 2010 french thriller
love crime ,
which was directed by the late alain corneau and featured kristin scott thomas and ludivine sagnier in the roles now played by mcadams and rapace . de palma has made a few small but significant changes that improve on the original and transform it into a full - blooded brian de palma film . one subtle but important change is making christine and isabelle closer in age than in corneau ' s original . at first , this seems to make hash of the original ' s more overt boss - protege relationship , but it ultimately adds an intriguing new dimension . in depalma ' s film , when the promise of the new york promotion is arbitrarily offered to both women by their distant superiors , it cannily suggests that women in that sort of corporate environment are seen as being largely interchangeable—and that christine may have a point when she goes to extremes to stand out from the rest of the crowd , and destroy someone who is too much like her for comfort .
joining his rapturous visual style to elements that have driven him to artistic peaks over the years—voyeurism , media manipulation , compelling female characters , unexpected narrative twists — depalma has made a film that simultaneously conveys the confident touch of a master and the energy of a newcomer eager to prove himself . the result is de palma ' s most satisfying movie since 2002 ' s
femme fatale .
the plotting of passion is nothing overly exciting or elaborate , just the facts and then a single minded obsession for the bulk of the movie but it works just fine . for a solidly average story and a low budget affair it has a lot of interesting and beautiful things going for it . director allen dwan spends a lot of time in the first parts of the film to show us wilde is a loving man and his new home is full of joy , contrasted with the mean acosto who whips his son and brutally murders women and the elderly defending their homes . as for the dual role , even a tomboyish de carlo is still a de carlo . instead of distinctly different looks the sisters are differentiated by behaviour , so she’s just as gorgeous in both roles and it’s amusing to see wilde so smitten with one while chuckling at the other when she says she owns a dress and plans to wear it . it won’t surprise viewers that as the only remaining member of the family he loved , as a woman identical to his lost love , and as one so dedicated to helping wilde , he warms to her by the end of the picture .
this is a wonderful movie of the fifties , with a cast of stars that in today ? s film world would be unheard off . the budget to get these stars together today would make anyone faint . rock hudson , jane wyman , and agnes moorehead . i grew up thinking agnes moorehead was a witches mother and she looked like one on bewitched . but in this movie as in others from the fifties she proved to be a glorious actress . rock hudson plays the part of a young millionaire with not a care in the world till his life is save at the expense of another ? s . he then falls in love with the wife of the man who dies , and the only way to win her is losing his spoiled ways and obtaining a magnificent obsession . how can any film the rock appear in be awarded anything less the 4 stars .
on a whole , i am not usually a fan of western films . however , i gave this a try because of the role played by yvonne de carlo . she does a good job here of playing the role of twin sisters - one demure one fiery . the name of the film relates less romance and more revenge as de carlo and wilde set off to avenge the death of de carlo ' s demure sister . its good for a western !

since the film starts in medias res – as with frontier gal , the hero learns of a child years later – characters impart the information to juan and the family’s inherent existence should sufficiently motivate . but since wilde’s acting leaves a lot to be desired , you’d assume he’d act this way towards anyone wrongfully gunned down , and , seriously , the entire town , not just juan and tonia , should want to bring these murderers to justice . speaking of , raymond burr plays captain rodriguez , a local sheriff hunting down juan for killing the men who killed his family – wonder if the creators of the fugitive ( 1963 ) watched this ? rodriguez’s motivations are as dubiously written as juan’s . there’s no proper explanation for why the real murderers aren’t arrested , short of needing to sustain the film’s runtime and mentioning tonia’s recognition of one of their voices isn’t enough . and , when the hunt adds in rodriguez , he doesn’t bring the real killers in as absolve juan for his misdeeds .

similar to zhao baogang ’s 1997 adaptation – which made a star out of the then ingénue xu jinglei – crimes of passion is driven largely by the growing affections between lu and kim , and how the detective battles her own conscience and professional ( and patriotic ) obligations as she becomes engaged and consummates her relationship with the gangland scion . but gao and his screenwriter huo yin ( and also the novelist hai an himself ) have chosen to deliver an update packed with external complications : in addition to foisting a lot of car chases , gunfights and various pyrotechnics into the proceedings – genre devices which do not necessarily add to the core of the story – the gangland warfare is also given an international dimension ( chinese mobs , and rule - breaking cops for that matter , are never allowed to be shown on screen here ) , and lu actually caught in some kind of internal power struggle within her police squadron .

complicated but underdeveloped revenge western . it ' s full of incident , but the plot has enough holes to make a sieve . yvonne decarlo , for example , plays twin sisters to no good effect except to save on another actress ' s salary . the cast includes lon chaney jr . and stuart whitman as a couple of dirty , stinking , low - rent villains , and raymond burr barrels around as a local police captain . it ' s an alan dwan film , so it ' s tight , pacy and good looking . some of the fun , though , is mitigated by the occasional sexism and having most of the authentic latino actors regelated to villain roles .
raymond burr is so associated with his characterization of television lawyer / detective perry mason that his rich and varied career in film , radio , and television is often ignored . his face , in the words of perry mason creator erle stanley gardner , is cow - eyed . he is broad shouldered , heavy , robust , but excelled at playing introverted rather than extroverted characters . this may be , in part , why burr accomplished the rare television feat in which actor becomes almost thoroughly identified with character , the performer inseparable from the role . just as william shatner is james kirk , peter falk is columbo , and carroll o ' connor is archie bunker , burr is perry mason .
the devastated wilde spends the rest of the film looking for justice . the first clue comes when de carlo recognizes chaney’s booming voice in town , but just on her word , they get no help from the local lawman , played by raymond burr . when wilde catches up to the first henchman on his list , he gets a confession but has to kill the criminal in self defense . a sympathetic burr distracts his partner anthony caruso , lets wilde and de carlo escape , and as wilde works his way through the gang members and finally the leader , you have burr trying to give wilde room without making caruso too suspicious , plus the question of how wilde will ever be reunited with his baby .
and it is grounded , and made most exemplary , by cynthia nixon’s performance . every actor in this movie is wonderful . but nixon’s precision in portraying every particular mood of emily—for each individual scene calls for absolute specificity—is simply spectacular . there are points in emily’s life when she is racked by illness , or possessed by a seeming madness . her fury at the misbehavior of a family member in one scene late in the film , as she rails against a perceived lack of integrity , is chilling because nixon makes the viewer see the extent to which emily is actually turning that rage back upon herself . every scene in the movie contains a performance revelation of almost equal power . i will be very surprised if i see a better performance from an american actor this year .
terence davies is ever a filmmaker in search of lost time . i do not believe he has ever made a feature film that is set in the present day , unless you count his 2008 documentary on his beloved hometown of liverpool , “ of time and the city , ” a present day from which he mourned the past . this is not to say that davies is any kind of nostalgia monger . in gazing at the past , he casts a cold eye on the oppression suffered by his characters , particularly his female ones . see his staggering 2000 adaptation of edith wharton ’s “ the house of mirth , ” starring gillian anderson , a near - surgical dissection of hypocrisy among the new york upper crust at the turn of the 19 th century to the 20 th . also his 2011 “ the deep blue sea , ” filmed from a terence rattigan play , in which rachel weisz ’s hester is trapped in a loveless marriage in post - world war ii britain .
who was emily dickinson ? what kind of a person lurked behind the poet who spent most of her life on her parents ' estate in amherst , massachusetts ? this mansion provides the setting for a film that portrays an unconventional woman about whose life very little is known . born in 1803 , dickinson is considered to be a gifted child , but an emotional trauma forces her to give up her studies . the introverted young woman withdraws from society and writes poetry . in spite of her cloistered existence she takes her readers on a journey into the wider world . terence davies imagines her biography and explores how emily dickinson’s exceptional poems could come into being . the camera glides delicately into a life in which poetry takes up more and more space . emily dickinson communicates with the outside world via letters . in her correspondence with her siblings and the clergyman charles wadsworth she exchanges philosophical and everyday observations . to her , wadsworth’s move to san francisco is a tragedy . davies’ biopic also describes a talented woman’s lonely and desperate struggle for recognition in a world dominated by men .

a conflict over land in old spanish california flares up into the deaths of several members of one homesteading family , and one of the survivors vows vengeance .
cornel wilde and yvonne de carlo strike me as being a couple who are absolutely meant for each other , but surprisingly , in this movie they don’t even get to kiss . she’s the tomboy ( ! ) sister of the woman who’s the murder5ed mother of wilde’s son , and while she is obviously making eyes at him , he is so busy with revenge , he hardly notices her at all . a passionate affair it isn’t .
raymond burr plays the officer of the police who must bring his old friend to justice . if it weren’t for him , i’d never even have considered saving this movie on tape . ( and even so , i didn’t . )
— reprinted from nothing accompliced # 4 , november 1993 ( slightly revised ) .
in the photo , yvonne decarlo is looking an awful lot like gene tierney ( ? ) .
you’re right . you have good eyes . scratch that one . i’ll go look for another image or two to use . thanks !
this is one of many allan dwan films i’ve never succeeded in tracking down .
since my review says i watched it on tape , i must have caught it on either tcm or american movie classics . it should still be around today in hands of collectors .

bach himself — a younger , more rebellious figure ( played by actor tom mccamus ) than the bewigged stone - faced elder we’re used to seeing — turns up in “six gestures , ” in which director patricia rozema juxtaposes bach’s ( and ma’s ) philosophical musings with some moody ice - skating sequences and an occasional zany touch . barbara willis sweete’s “falling down stairs , ” on the other hand , takes a standard documentary form as stringy - haired choreographer mark morris wrestles with the material while ma looks on with childlike delight at the dancers .
atom egoyan’s “sarabande , ” the most absorbing film of the six , is a complex tapestry of several interwoven humorous and poignant slices of stressed - out life in toronto , flitting back and forth in time with the music of bach filtering through the action here and there . the relaxed “struggle for hope” reverts back to a rather glacially paced docu format as producer - director niv fichman presides over a fusion of ma’s bach and kabuki dancing by tamasaburo bando — a union that neither hurts nor helps either idiom , but is certainly filmed in gorgeously rich colors .

yeah , i don ' t consider myself to be an artist , i ' m more like a producer . i started my career in the 90s and all the music was made by producers like the prodigy , massive attack and chemical brothers ; there was a window in the history of music where great albums weren ' t made by charismatic people like david bowie but by people in a recording studio . i think i really belong to the family , i never felt comfortable taking pictures or acting in videos . after that , rock ' n ' roll came back with the strokes and suddenly we came back to the band and the rockstar artists . but there was six or seven years where great music was made by producers . companies started to sell these records like artist ' s albums , but we weren ' t artists , we were just producers in the studio .

this is an absolutely superb version of the bach cello suites . the intonation is flawless throughout , the tonal quality beautiful and the interpretation often gives a fresh insight into these familiar works . the recording quality is of an extremely high satandard .
emmy ( experiments in musical intelligence ) was one of the first artificial intelligence software capable of “tricking” the human ear . its creator , david cope , a researcher at the university of california , fed emmy hundreds of bach’s chorales and perfected the software until it was able to to compose melodies on its own – melodies that people could not distinguish from those written by the german genius . the key was teaching emmy to break some rules . the following video is an example of this artistic machine’s work .
using direct address with bach , played by tom mccamus , speaking to the audience , she constructs a filmic essay ; footnotes and all . combining dramatic enactments , with documentary style interviews , intimate direct address , yo - yo ma ' s cello performance , the figure skating of jayne torvill and christopher dean , and graffiti messages , rozema creates a truly polyphonic structure . six gestures was awarded a prime time emmy and is among rozema ' s finest work , a true expression of her style and vision .
piranesi and the music of johann sebastian bach . using a striking and highly contrasted visual style , director françois girard places yo - yo ma within a series of computer - generated , three - dimensional recreations of piranesi’s well - known prison etchings .
the museum is hosted in bose house , previously a residence of the bose family , who were friends with bach . step inside to see features of the building that date back to this era , including a mirror - lined banqueting hall that is now used for concerts .
that ' s the funny thing , i didn ' t want to do a solo album , i was just at home and i was hearing classical music and , little by little , i created the songs—it caught me by surprise—suddenly i realised that i was actually making a solo record . i was very happy about it , but it ' s new to me ; it wasn ' t my plan . personally i don ' t like it when members of bands do solo records , i think there ' s an alchemy in the bands , which is more magic than lonely people .
as a cellist , yo - yo ma is a huge inspiration to me . the bach suites are my favourite classical piece of music for the cello , and mr ma plays them magically . there ' s no way i could give this anything less than 5 / 5 !
finally , the somewhat dour “the sound of the carceri” attempts to make ma pretend that he is playing within buildings that were never built . drawing upon etchings by the 18th - century architect giovanni battista piranesi , the film utilizes sepia - toned computer projections and tweaked electronic reverberation to simulate these environments .

his clarity of exposition is just extraordinary , and the combination of physical gesture and inner life , which was so beautifully reflected in the skating of torvill and dean during the sixth suite , captures bach ' s very essence . bach himself was made to appear in the latter film , in the person of actor tom mccamus , spinning a narrative about his life and thinking which was intercut with the movements of the suite . informative , if somewhat naive in style , this biographical element was certainly more acceptable than the rambling discussions that overloaded the treatment of suite no 2 .
throughout the six films , one is amazed anew at how endlessly durable bach’s stark , now life - affirming , now morose compositions are . they can take everything the filmmakers throw at them — even the tightly stylized rituals of kabuki theater and the harsh jackhammers and sirens of downtown boston .
the bach museum is open from tuesday to sunday . there is an admission fee , with free entry for children aged up to 16 . the museum is located opposite st . thomas church , which has a bus stop outside . walk here from nearby market square and the old town hall .

is in g major - so they share the same key signature of one sharp - and both use highly chromatic harmony , but there is no clear relationship . this makes me wonder why so many have assumed the bourrée to be the correct bach piece . might it be some other ? as it turns out , no , it is the bourrée . paul might not know the name of it , but he can still play it , and on 28 july 2005 , paul performed a live solo concert at abbey road studios , which was recorded and released as chaos and creation at abbey road . during the performance , he again cited bach as an influence on
blackbird
and even played a few measures of the bach original to illustrate the similarities ( which can be heard from about 37 : 39 - 38 : 51 in the video below ) .
the only similarity i hear by listening is that they ' re both played on acoustic guitars . ( but even then , the guitar paul played on
blackbird
had metal strings , whereas classical guitars typically use nylon strings to give a warmer sound - and the above recording is no exception ) . perhaps score study will yield results .
johann sebastian bach was born in eisenach in 1685 and was one of the most influential figures in the baroque music movement . although he has many famous works , including the soaring brandenburg concertos , his weekly commissions from churches in leipzig meant that he composed hundreds of songs , airs and toccatas before his death in 1750 .
they did for ice dancing what bach did for the cello ,
says mr . ma , who began playing the cello at age 4 .
they both work with a strict form , but through working this way , they ' re able to find unbelievable freedom of expression and freedom of depth ,
he says .
it ' s half a tribute , half a joke about the technique of bach because it ' s a new way of creating music that we don ' t know anything about in pop . basically , when you do a pop song you put down some chords and you sing a melody on top of them , the counterpoint is something completely different . it ' s just melodies between them , which create a song by mixing them together - - there ' s not a chord . it was the origin of the project , when i recorded it went much further than that but because it was in the beginning , the first step , i just decided to call the album like that .
computers have been working as a canvas , paintbrush , or musical instrument for a while now , says the director of the spanish artificial intelligence research institute . however , in addition to serving as tools for art , “machines are now also capable of creating something that did not exist before by combining known things in a new way . ” in other words , they can be creative .
yet with all due respect to bach , the primary focal ( and marketing ) point and unifying factor at the core of these films is the indestructibly sweet personality and gentle charisma of yo - yo ma himself . with an almost ingenuous spirit , he glides serenely through each setting , exuding a calming presence even amidst the most bizarre or fractious personalities and situations .
“as the first rhine class river yacht , crystal bach will introduce a new standard of luxury in river cruising on many fronts , including the culinary concept and innovative experiences found on board , ” said edie rodriguez , ceo and president of crystal . “while we are always pursuing new and distinctive experiences on each of our luxury vessels , our overall dedication to unsurpassed quality and abundant choices remains constant . ”
“the culinary experience aboard all crystal vessels is meant to inspire travellers to discover more about the world they explore , as food and the camaraderie of dining is such an integral part of the travel experience , ” said toni neumeister , senior vice president of hotel operations . “guests aboard crystal bach will not only enjoy extraordinary new and classic flavours , but also a taste of the history and culture of this beautiful region . ”
menu highlights will include fresh fish and seafood from holland , seasonal fruits and vegetables from germany and the netherlands , meat and poultry from farmers in bavaria and the austrian alps , along with wine , beers and cheeses that are specific to the region . in addition , guests will be able to enjoy coffees and teas by julius meinl , a vienna - based company which has crafted the beverages since 1862 . there will also be multiple dedicated vegetarian dishes .
yeah , sometimes i had to be brave because i thought it was great and then the next morning it wasn ' t good . i had a lot of doubts and i was by myself , you know when you ' re in a band and you can share the process with someone ? when you ' re alone you never know if you ' re going in the right direction or not , because there ' s no one to tell you .
an actor , tom mccamus , plays a melancholy bach , with pipe , contemplating god , death , his children , his patron prince leopold and other matters . ' ' life is a symphony of sorrows , ' ' he sighs . and unseen , but a most imposing presence , is the director , patricia rozema , who must be held responsible for the on - screen consequences of a hard - working camera and computer .

it caught me by surprise , after one minute i said — ' that ' s it , i have to change something in my life , what i ' m doing is not where i ' m meant to be as a human being . ' it was good when i started my career but right now with the experience and with all of my knowledge i understood that i was not making the music that i should considering all that i did in the past—it was time for me to move on and turn the page , i understood that right away when i saw the documentary .
paul further admitted that
the bit where we went wrong , i later took that , the idea that you get the bass line and the top line ( the melody ) and turned it into ' blackbird ' .
and now it makes sense ! comparing the bourrée ( as paul played it ) and
blackbird
side by side , we can easily see the similarity . the example below shows in blue notes that are identical between the two , while red notes indicate comparable ( if not identical ) similarities . further notice that paul adds several notes ( the black ones ) .
this is not the first time that bach’s cello suites have been filmed ; as recently as 1992 , mstislav rostropovich performed the cycle for homevideo , but those were strictly performance films with added interview footage . what we have here are six mergers of ma’s world with other art forms , captured in films ranging in style from a straightforward documentary to a self - contained film with its own storyline . in a sense , ma is looking backward and forward at the same time , planting his feet solidly in the cello repertoire’s most hallowed ground while reaching out to six different film directors in order to break new ground .
in the car , it ' s the best alignment to listen to music , i have no idea why but when you ' re in the car and you ' re driving i never thought of something better . so it ' s not contrepoint specifically , but music in general . especially in australia where you have those big roads . in paris we have a lot of traffic jams , but when you can drive in a car and put music loud and you ' re all a by yourself or you can share when you ' re with someone else . in the ` 70s kraftwerk would invite journalists to drive on the autobahn to listen to the autobahn album . i thought it was a great idea , just to discover the record .
i was on tour and one of the musicians showed me a documentary about glenn gould and i was surprised by the guy—i thought he had the charisma of all the rockstars that we like . the music he was doing has got so much energy in it . when you ' re young you listen to rock music , but when you look at glenn gould playing piano , there ' s so much life in it . as i get more mature in my life i keep on discovering new music without giving up the idea of someone young and charismatic doing something with some energy . i think gould was the best of both worlds—the energy of rock ` n ` roll and the knowledge of the classics ; it was a great discovery for me .
it was interesting to give the music to people and see what they ' d come up with . for each song i had four or five projects and the one i chose for orca and widerstehe were so close to the idea of each song . i remember when i studied my first bach song i had some coloured pens and i ' d make notes on the score , the video for orca is really visual and it explained the dynamic of the melodies , i was sure i would choose it . then , for widerstehe , the whole video was about temptation . i like the idea that when you ' re a human being , you ' re always attracted to a little danger , that ' s why when you ' re a teenager you smoke cigarettes when obviously it ' s horrible . in the video , surfing among sharks was the perfect example of this .

this proves that paul was indeed thinking of the bourrée in e minor when composing
blackbird
. however , paul actually plays it wrong when demonstrating . he even acknowledges that the way he plays it , saying ,
it really should go [ sings it correctly ] , but we didn ' t know that bit .
the version paul played , then , is transcribed below ( and transposed from d minor up to e minor for the sake of comparison ) .
thanks for the video with paul and carlos bonell - i had never seen that before ! nor had i heard of classical mystery tour , although apparently i just missed my chance - they played in indiana last month and have no return dates scheduled as of yet . i ' ve found
the beatles complete scores
to be extraordinarily helpful when analyzing their music . it has the best and most accurate transcriptions of their music i ' ve ever encountered !
this blog is a workshop for developing my analyses of the beatles ' music .
