Bolero, The

• 1973 ----- color ----- 26 min ----- 16mm/dvd
• A triumph of form and feeling, this film takes the viewer into the musicians' world. In early planning and casual rehearsals, we share in conductor Zubin Mehta's perspective on the musical values he will build into the performance. The film involves the viewer in each musician's approach to his part in the complex score, as they near the flawless final performance. The final section of the film presents a complete performance of the work by the Los Angeles Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta conducting -- the DVD also includes a shorter 12 minute version of the program. (dvd Restricted to use on the University of Washington campuses)
• Topics: (Art, Motion Pictures: Experimental, Music)
