Three New Titles in the Famous Composers Series: Frédéric Chopin, Gustav Mahler & Jean Sibelius Available on DVD January 31
New York, NY, January 06, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Kultur is proud to announce three news releases in the Famous Composers Series: Frédéric Chopin, Gustav Mahler and, Jean Sibelius available on DVD on January 31, 2012.
Frédéric Chopin
The Polish composer Frederic Chopin is unique in that he composed almost exclusively for his own instrument, the piano. As a pianist he was self-taught and had an astonishing talent for improvisation. As a composer he was a perfectionist in the classical mold and his wonderful compositions ensure that he is one of the best loved names in world music. The DVD traces his short life and includes an overview of his musical works.
Gustav Mahler
The composer Gustav Mahler was born the son of a poor itinerant Jewish salesman in a tiny village in what is now the Czech Republic. His astonishing and influential career as a conductor and director of opera, including ten years as musical director of the Vienna Opera, would have singled him out as someone special. However his 9 symphonies and other orchestral works are now seen as his greatest contribution to music. The program tells of his life and development and is followed by an overview of his compositions.
Jean Sibelius
Jean Sibelius was born into a middle class family in a small country town in Finland. He was encouraged in developing his musical talent but he was fifteen before it began to really interest him. At first he wanted to be a violinist but soon turned to composing. By his early twenties he had already mastered his craft and he went on to produce a wonderful and very individual range of orchestral music, leaving him as one of the giants of early twentieth century music.
