When discussing Carlos Reygadas’ “Post Tenebras Lux,” comparisons to “The Tree of Life” come easily, though Reygadas’s film is as far from a paean to God as it gets. In fact, while Malick’s movie has a sweeping, hands-on perspective on enlightenment and God, Reygadas’ (“Silent Light,” “Battle in Heaven”) has a brazen, ostentatiously alienating and mostly detached view of redemption and Satan.

Fischer-Dieskau reorientated our listening experience, writes Daniel Barenboim in a personal tribute to the great baritone There are many wonderful composers whose works we appreciate greatly but who did not make a significant impact on the historical development of music. Only a select few were able to at once sum up everything that had existed in music before them, and to pave the way into the future. Bach, Schoenberg, Wagner and Beethoven are outstanding examples of such revolutionaries. The situation is similar when it comes to performers of classical music: before Pablo Casals, for example, it was widely accepted that ...

Das Greenville Festival gibt vier neue Künstler bekannt, die sich dieses Jahr vom 27. bis zum 30. Juli in Paaren/Glien die Ehre geben. Zuletzt wurde neben den erprobten Rockern Donots ebenfalls das Singer/Songwriter-Kollektiv We Invented Paris bestätigt ( motor.de berichtete ).

Sono bravo a iniziare, ma non a finire. Parlo di serie tv, meglio specificare. Ne inizio un sacco, cerco di non perdermi un pilot, però quelle che proseguo regolarmente sono un numero molto più limato. Non sono tantissime quelle cui riesco a concedere la mia attenzione per un’intera stagione e sono ancora meno quelle che riesco a vedere fino al termine. Che a volte arriva solo dopo molti, moltissimi anni. Il problema sarà mio, avrò un ADHD (sindrome da deficit d’attenzione e iperattività)? Oppure il problema sono le serie tv, molte serie tv almeno, che partono magari bene ...
