N/A N/A ( 8.3)

Railway-related documentary covering modern railway systems, museum railways and their facilities as well as items on model railway layouts. Politics and criticism is not left out; the series reports on closures, controversial model ideas, delays to reconstruction plans or smart commuter transport concepts.

And the Desire Remains... 1988

In three parts, the documentary takes a look at the lives of three working mothers in East Berlin. Carola is a nude model and cleaner, Sabine is a singer and Heike is a secretary. All the women have to bring up their children alone, some of them abandoned by their husbands, some of them having consciously broken out of the housewife existence. Their self-determination is repeatedly thwarted by a repressive society. Director Petra Tschörner captures the daily struggle for survival of these women, who also have their say to explain their sometimes precarious situation from their own perspective.

Das Freie Orchester 1989

"The Free Orchestra" is a group of young people who have various careers, and get together in their free time to make music. Improvisation and original hand made instruments mark the group's style. The individual members of the band are filmed at their daily work life and at one of their concerts. A collage of sounds arises, which conveys their life feelings and experiences, in a satirical and grotesque language.

Berg: Lulu 2004 ( 6)

Since its premiere on 2 June 1937 in Zurich, Alban Berg's second opera "Lulu" has the reputation of being surrounded by scandals. On the one hand, this is due to the dubious character of the subject, the man-eating femme fatale, which Berg had taken from Frank Wedekind's two Lulu tragedies – "The Earth Spirit" and "Pandora's Box" – and combined into one opera libretto. On the other hand, Berg's window had (for personal reasons) repeatedly refused to have the opera completed, which was unfinished when Berg died. This video is of the unfinished two-act torso of "Lulu."

Mozart: Così Fan Tutte (Zurich Opera House) 2000

A production of Mozart's opera recorded live at Zurich Opera House in 2000. Cecilia Bartoli leads an all-star cast including Roberto Saccà, Liliana Nikiteanu, and Agnes Baltsa. The conductor is Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Filmed live at the Zurich Opera House in February 2000 on a set which visualises the subtitle "The School for Lovers", the plot revolves around two army officers arguing about the fidelity of their brides, then setting out to test their chastity. Despite the often playful humour, this is not only psychologically telling music-making, but reveals Mozart exploring the structure of opera, discarding convention to mix large ensemble sections with arias for as many different combinations of singers as possible. With Liliana Nikiteanu attractively contrasted with Bartoli, and thoroughly convincing performances by Roberto Sacca (Ferrando) and Oliver Widmer (Guilelmo), this Così has a freshness and flow which, coupled with the timeless romantic themes, feels very contemporary.

Ariadne auf Naxos 2012
