‘Warmly recommended’ (BBC Music Magazine)
‘Two exceedingly well-filled discs give us the cream of Rubinstein's piano music, beginning with the delicious Melody in F, his most famous composition’ (Classic CD)
«Les qualitées réclamées par Rubinstein sont comparables: panache, fougue, enthousiasme, puissance. Leslie Howard les possède à un haut degré. Il y a joint une délicatesse du toucher et une facilité pour un timbre moelleux qui font merveille dans les pages de caractère, alors qu'un rubato discret confère à la musique ce frémissent du coeur sans lequel il n'est pas de véritable romantisme» (Diapason, France) Reviews Hyperion

This 1955 date is an intriguing opportunity to hear Milt Jackson accompanied by the MJQ rhythm section, but with hard bopper Horace Silver substituting for John Lewis. Not only that, it's also a chance to hear a hitherto unknown, lushly romantic side of both Jackson and Silver, two blues-oriented players who rarely if ever recorded standards in this sort of style. With its excellent recording quality, it's a perfect album for intimate dinners and other late-night activities. Artie Shaw's exotic "Moonray" is rarely heard in any sort of context, while "My Funny Valentine" and "The Nearness of You" set the mood throughout. Richard Mortifoglio

The first classic album by the Horace Silver Quintet, this set is
highlighted by "Señor Blues" and "Cool Eyes." The early Silver quintet
of 1956 was essentially the Jazz Messengers of the year before, with
trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, and bassist Doug
Watkins (while drummer Louis Hayes was in Blakey's place), but already
the band was starting to develop a sound of its own. "Señor Blues"
officially put Horace Silver on the map, and the album is a hard bop and
gospel-tinged jazz gem. [Some reissues add bonus tracks, including two
additional versions of "Señor Blues," including a later vocal rendition
by Bill Henderson.] Scott Yanow

Synopsis :
Satan has been cast out of Hell and banished to Earth under decree of Heaven. He can return only after overseeing a series of temptations. However, for every soul who gives in to his tempting, one hundred years are added to his sentence. For every soul who resists, one thousand years are subtracted from his sentence. The film follows Satan throughout much of recorded history, focusing mainly on four short episodes. First he tempts Judas to betray Jesus, then he goes on to influence the Spanish Inquisition, spark the French Revolution and finally he causes the Finnish Civil War of 1918 to occur. wiki

Synopsis :
Vampyr ranks in many circles as one of the greatest horror
films of all time. Inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, the story
concerns a mysterious series of killings, committed by a crone of a
female vampire (Henriette Gerard). The story is told through the eyes of
a holiday reveller (Julian West), who at first scoffs at the notion of a
supernatural murderer, but who is eventually forced to believe that
there are more things in heaven and earth. Dreyer offers few
explanations of the phenomena he presents on screen: the strange and
frightening happenings just happen, as casually as any everyday
occurrence. As was his custom, Dreyer mostly uses nonprofessionals in
his cast. Vampyr is available in a wide variety of severely edited and
duped versions. Hal Erickson

Synopsis :
Tabu is a lyrical documentary of Polynesian life, given
added audience appeal with a fictional plotline. The story concerns a
young island girl (Anna Chevalier, who like everyone in the cast is a
non-professional) who has been consecrated to the gods by her
tribespeople. It is thus "tabu" for her to marry; still, she falls in
love with a handsome young pearl fisherman (Matahi). The island's holy
man takes the girl away in his schooner. Her lover swims after her, but
eventually sinks disconsolately into the ocean. Shot completely on
location, it was supposed to be a collaboration between German director
F. W. Murnau and American documentary producer Robert Flaherty. Flaherty
withdrew from the project when he realized the film was taking a
romanticized approach. Murnau never lived to see the final product; he
was killed in a car accident just before the film's opening. Begun as a
silent film in 1929, Tabu was released in that form in 1931, despite the
fact that talking pictures already had been established for nearly
three years. Hal Erickson

Synopsis :
How typical of the great German director F. W. Murnau that
he used Moliere's scathing satirical comedy Tartuffe as a launching pad
for an extended exercise in expressionism. Emil Jannings plays the
title character, a religious hypocrite who capitalizes upon the piety of
others to line his own pockets. Lusting after Elmire (Lil Dagover), the
daughter of gullible millionaire Orgon (Werner Krauss), Tartuffe all
but convinces Orgon to hand over Elmire -- and all his land holdings --
on a silver platter in exchange for Divine absolution. On the verge of
triumphantly taking over Orgon's mansion and tossing the old man out,
Tartuffe is foiled by the deux ex machina arrival of an emissary of the
King, who arrests the "hero" for his chicanery (this final scene was
imposed upon Moliere by the French censors; originally, Tartuffe got
away with his crimes). In his efforts to make the property more
cinematic, Murnau adds a framing story concerning an old woman who tries
to cheat an old man out of a fortune while the two of them watch a
theatrical performance of the Moliere play. Chock full of offbeat camera
angles, forced-perspective sets, and spiderlike shadows, Tartuff owes
more to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari than it does to Moliere. Emil
Jannings went on to collaborate with Murnau in the director's next
production, a lavish adaptation of Goethe's Faust. Hal Erickson

Liliom is a 1934 French fantasy film directed by Fritz Lang based on the 1909 Hungarian stage play of the same title by Ferenc Molnár. The film stars Charles Boyer as Liliom, a carousel barker who is fired from his job after defending the chambermaid Julie from the jealousy of Mme. Muscat, the carousel owner who is infatuated with Liliom. He moves in with Julie and they begin an affair. When Liliom discovers he's about to become a father, he finds he needs money and participates in a robbery which goes awry. Rather than allow himself to be arrested, Liliom kills himself and his soul is transported to a waiting room of Heaven. A heavenly commissioner determines that Liliom will not be admitted into Heaven, only Purgatory, until he returns to Earth to do one good deed. wiki
Synopsis :
Frank Willard's barn-storming stage melodrama Cat and the
Canary was filmed four times over a fifty-year period. This silent 1927
version stars Laura LaPlante as one of several potential heirs to a huge
fortune. Brought to a foreboding mansion on the 20th anniversary of
their eccentric benefactor's death, the heirs must sit in silence as the
lawyer (Tully Marshall) recites the terms of the will. The legacy
hinges upon three sealed letters, each to be opened at a strategic point
in the evening. Also crucial to the inheritance is the insistence that
all the heirs spend the night in the creepy old mansion. Nervous
Creighton Hale appoints himself LaPlante's protector--a far from simple
job, given the many hidden panels and revolving doors which festoon the
house. When the lawyer is murdered, LaPlante is the principle suspect.
Cat and the Canary was remade as The Cat Creeps in 1930, and under its
own title in 1939 (with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard) and 1979. Hal Erickson

Destiny is a 1921 silent German Expressionist fantasy romance film directed by Fritz Lang and inspired by the Indian folktale of Savitri. The film follows a woman desperate to reunite with her dead lover. It also follows three other tragic romances, set in a Middle Eastern city; in Venice, Italy; and in the Chinese Empire. wiki
Title : Destiny (1921)
Original title : Der Müde Tod
Directed : Fritz Lang
Duration : 1 h 48 min
Subtitles : English, Portuguese, Spanish
Genre : Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Science Fiction
Country : Germany
Synopsis :
Fritz Lang was a stickler for realism in his American films; not so his German silents, which were fanciful to the point of being fairy tales. Der Müde Tod, Lang's first big critical success, is an allegorical tale of love, fidelity and death. The heroine (Lil Dagover), who in her dreams is confronted by Mr. Death, argues for the life of her beloved, but is unable to make the personal sacrifices that Death insists upon. Originally presented in three parts, Der Müde Tod was often boiled down to a single film for its non-German showings. Its English-language titles range from The Weary Death to Between Two Worlds to Beyond the Wall to Destiny. Hal Erickson

Synopsis :
Released with sound effects and a music score that
included the song "When Love Comes Smiling" by Walter Hirsch, Lew
Pollack and Erno Rapee, Paul Leni's near masterpiece remains one of the
silent era's last great romantic melodramas. Based on Victor Hugo's 1869
novel L'Homme qui Rit, The Man Who Laughs starred German import Conrad
Veidt as Gwynplaine, a carnival freak doomed to live life wearing a
perpetual grin carved on his face by Dr Hardquannone (George Siegman
because his father, Lord Clancharlie (Allan Cavan), had offended
England's King James II (Sam De Grasse). Taken in as a child by Ursus, a
mountebank (Cesare Gravina), Gwynplaine grows up alongside the
beautiful but blind Dea (Mary Philbin). They fall in love but Gwynplaine
refuses to marry her because his hideous face makes him feel unworthy.
Queen Anne (Josephine Crowell), meanwhile, has ascended the throne and
when she learns from her predecessor's evil jester Barkilphedro (Brandon
Hurst) that the recalcitrant Duchess Josiana (Olga Baclanova) is in
possession of Lord Clancharlie's estates, she decrees that the royal
femme fatale must marry Gwynplaine, the rightful heir. Josiana, who has
caught Gwynplaine's act incognito and arranged a rendezvous, is at the
same time sexually attracted to and repelled by the "Laughing Man," but
Gwynplaine, who realizes that the duchess' attraction has legitimized
his right to love Dea, renounces his title and follows his heart to the
new World. Although Kirk Douglas was long interested in producing a
remake, The Man Who Laughs was instead filmed again as L'Uomo che Ride
by Italian director Sergio Corbucci in 1966. Corbucci, however, changed
the setting from Queen Anne to the infamous sixteenth century Italian
court of the Borgias. Hans J. Wollstein

Faust – A German Folktale is a 1926 silent fantasy film, produced by Ufa, directed by F. W. Murnau, starring Gösta Ekman as Faust, Emil Jannings as Mephisto, Camilla Horn as Gretchen/Marguerite, Frida Richard as her mother, Wilhelm Dieterle as her brother, and Yvette Guilbert as Marthe Schwerdtlein, her aunt. Murnau's film draws on older traditions of the legendary tale of Faust as well as on Goethe's classic 1808 version. Ufa wanted Ludwig Berger to direct Faust, as Murnau was engaged with Variety; Murnau pressured the producer and, backed by Jannings, eventually persuaded Erich Pommer to let him direct the film. wiki
