Bach`s Greatest Organ Works (DVD)
Recorded in honor of Bach`s 250th anniversary, this program of his organ music was recorded on the Trost-Organ in Waltershausen, Germany, an organ Bach actually played during his lifetime. Of course, the site was also chosen for its suitability for Bach`s music and its incredible acoustics, which were captured using 96k/24 bit multi-track audio. The program includes the Toccata and Fugue in d minor, Praludium and Fugue in E flat major, Passacaglia and Fugue in c minor, various choral preludes, and more.NR"

Billy Wilder`s adaptation of the Broadway hit stars William Holden as the cynical Sefton. Set in the eponymous German prison camp during WWII, the director`s broad, black comedy focuses on a group of decidedly unheroic prisoners. While they spend most of their time trying to entertain each other with comedy routines and pin-ups, they also occasionally entertain thoughts of escape. But escape is the last thing on the mind of the hard, calculating Sefton, a wheeler-dealer who`s salted away a stash of creature comforts which are the envy of the barracks. When a couple of prisoners are killed while attempting to escape, Sefton collects the money he won by betting against their success, and many believe that it was he who informed the Germans. After a new prisoner, Lt. Dunbar (Don Taylor) talks openly about having bombed a German ammo train, he`s immediately subjected to a harsh interrogation by sadistic commandant Oberst von Scherbach (Otto Preminger). Their suspicions confirmed, the prisoners take revenge against Sefton. A film whose depiction of American G.I.s as ordinary, even selfish, people probably seemed seemed edgier in the 1950s than it does now, it remains a durable entertainment, with incisive performances by Holden and Preminger.

Death: A Love Story (DVD)
Filmmaker Michelle Le Brun and producer/actor Mel Howard (HESTER STREET, RENALDO AND CLARA) were married only two years when Mel was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Accustomed to living life through the medium of film, the couple courageously decided to document Mel`s yearlong struggle with the disease--from his search for treatment to his final breath--with Michelle behind the camera. The resulting footage was assembled in Michelle`s award-winning documentary DEATH: A LOVE STORY, an honest and thought-provoking meditation on death and dying that also becomes a stirring testament to life and the power of love.NR"
