Gustav Mahler In Toblach (Live) - Uri Caine Ensemble

GUSTAV MAHLER'S LAST- SYMPHONY NO. 10

Advantages: Embodies some of Mahlers most notable music qualities.
Disadvantages: Unfinished.

--- OVERVIEW --- There is supersition that Beethoven died before completing his 10th symphony and so too would Mahler. This turned out to be true, at the age of 50 Mahler died from a serious illness. The different movements of his symphony were left unfinished and put aside for many years until in the 1960's a British musicoligist Deryck Cooke recreated them. To what influence Mr Cooke had over the final version I do not know, but nonetheless the music sounds like Mahler and is otherwise enchanting . --- MAHLER --- Nationality: Austrian Musical Period: Late-Romantic Born: 1860 Died: 1911 ' To write a symphony is, for me to construct a world' - Mahler Mahler Symphony No. 10 Tracks 01. Adagio 26:15 02. First scherzo 12:03 03. Purgatorio oder Inferno 04:30 04. Second scherzo 12:15 05. Finale ...

Review of Mahler: Symphony No 10

My Name Is Still Michael Caine

Advantages: Excellent book, Learn about film making, practical book
Disadvantages: Doesn't teach you how to act

Currently I'm studying musical theatre at college so when I heard about the book, Acting in Film by Michael Caine I wanted to purchase it. I love Michael Caine and admire his work I have been following him for many years. He is an amazing actor who has starred in many films and is more than qualified to discuss the viewpoint he has when it comes to producing movies. As an expert of film and acting I very enjoyed reading his viewpoint and felt that I learned a lot from reading his book. This new revised and expanded edition includes wonderful photographs throughout the book. It is very well presented with clear photographs that are relevant to the book's subject. The chapters include Preparation, In Front of the Camera - Before You Shoot, The Take, Characters, Directors, On Being a Star, and more besides. Each chapter takes you from Caine ...

Review of Acting in Film - Michael Caine

Living In Oblivion review

Advantages: Well acted, keeps you engaged throughout
Disadvantages: None

Living In Oblivion is a low budget independent film written and directed by Tom DiCillo and starring Steve Buscemi and Dermot Mulroney. Sure, these aren't A-list stars, but that lends itself to the story. If it was a film about the making of a film and you had George Clooney and Brad Pitt pretending to be small time actors you wouldn't believe it. That's why it was better to use less well known actors, it pulls you more into the story. The film takes place during one day on set of a low budget movie, and documents all the problems that the director, Nick (Buscemi), and everyone else can encounter, from equipment malfunctioning to office politics to actors forgetting their lines. It's almost like a documentary, it is very realistic and gives you the complete story as to what it's like trying to get a film made. There are a few ...
