Presentado y dirigido por: José Luis Pérez de Arteaga
Un veterano programa que, centrado en el área del sonido grabado, pasa revista a novedades discográficas, producciones históricas, y a conmemoraciones y efemérides, siempre evocadas a través de registros fonográficos.
With Marcel Duchamp, Iannis Xenakis, Olivier Messiaen, Hermann Scherchen, André Jolivet, Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Boulez, Konstantin Simonovic, Bruno Maderna, Ferdnand Ouellette, and the voice of Varèse. "Deserts" in rehearsal with Domaine Musicale Orchestra conducted by Bruno Maderna. "Ionisation" (complete) with Ensemble Instrumentale de Musique Contemporaine de Paris conducted by Konstantin Simonovic.
Between 1965-68, composer Luc Ferrari collaborated with director Gérard Patris on a series of filmed intimate portraits of great musicians, “Les Grandes Répétitions” (The Great Rehearsals), which were broadcast on French TV. They are remarkable not only for their exceptional content, but also for their creative, dynamic camera work and playful juxtaposition of music and talk. Truly unique and enjoyable period documents.
Hommage à Edgard Varèse became a tribute to Varèse, who died shortly before filming began. A distinguished group of friends and colleagues speak of Varèse, along with spoken comments from Varèse himself. Simonovic conducts a complete Ionisation in a fascinating “period” performance and Bruno Maderna directs an illuminating rehearsal of Déserts as Marcel Duchamp listens and comments from New York City.
A program prepared by KPFK music director, William Malloch, on the orchestral music of Silvestre Revueltas (Durango, 1899 - México D.F., 1940), the colorful Mexican composer. Malloch illustrates the composers tendency to orchestrate Mexican folk music and compares two performances of Sensemayá in which the tempos of the piece varies dramatically. Also included is the broadcast of a rare recording of a lengthy suite compiled by the conductor Jose Limantour, from Revueltas music to the film La Noche de los Mayas.
Soon after May 1968, Mauricio Kagel, an Argentinian musician, launched himself into film making. "Ludwig van" is the first of his productions.
The black and white film is intentionally dislodged, disturbed, disrespectful, even aggressive.
Here, there is no story. The film is constituted of a series of scenes, without connection between them. At the start we are in the presence of a half deaf Beethoven, represented in a subjective way, so that the spectator becomes the composer. Thus we tour the places where Beethoven lived: his desk, covered entirely with pieces of music; his cellar, storeroom filled with bottles of wine; his hay loft, where he stacks the scores of composers of the XIX and XX centuries; his bathroom, in which the bathtub is full of busts of... Beethoven, which we take one after the other.
The tone is striking: not a documentary reportage, not a biographical film or anecdote, Kagel provokes us, takes us by surprise, irritates us.
Then, we are present, in the confusion, at a laughable televised dispute over Beethoven and his music; an evaluation of his physical capacities, morales and phsychies of the music of Beethoven on the performers (this part is one of the more humorous); in one interview, in a field, of a descendant of Beethoven...
There are many other scenes, which cover subjects such as the hearing of the composer, the analysis of his skull, the course of musical television, the analysis of the texts of Beethoven (notably his conversation notebooks), etc.
The film ends at the zoo, by the scenes presenting the animals in the most stupid attitudes possible, indeed even scatological.
The music of Beethoven is reviewed with talent by Mauricio Kagel.
MÚSICA VIVA - 01.03.2015 Radio Clásica (RNE) / Eva Sandoval
Entrevistamos a uno de los compositores españoles más reconocidos y personales de la actualidad: José Manuel López López (Madrid, 1956). Junto a él realizamos un perfil de su lenguaje compositivo, de su estética, de sus influencias y de sus búsquedas sonoras actuales. Nos detuvimos con especial interés en sus más recientes proyectos: un documental dirigido por Eusebio Lázaro, el doble CD-DVD La Grande Cèleste con el videoartista Pascal Auger, grabación con obras para percusión de Miquel Bernat y su grupo Drumming y conciertos en París de su obra MetroVox dedicada a Xenakis. Escuchamos un fragmento de su Trío III y de VibraZoyd para vibráfono y electrónica.

Junto a estos dos protagonistas del disco recordamos la primera vez que trabajaron juntos y nos contaron todos los detalles de la grabación del disco y de cada una de las obras: "Concierto para acordeón y orquesta" de Jesús Torres, "Memoria del blanco" de José M. Sánchez-Verdú, "Itaun" de Ramón Lazkano y "Akorda" de Gabriel Erkoreka.
Inside Pop -- The Rock Revolution is a CBS News special, broadcast in April 1967. The show was hosted by Leonard Bernstein (Massachussets, 1918 - New York, 1990) and is probably one of the first examples of pop music being examined as a "serious" art form. The film features many scenes shot in Los Angeles in late 1966, including interviews with Frank Zappa and Graham Nash, as well as the now-legendary Brian Wilson solo performance of "Surf's Up."
