? Anthology of music from the films of director Ken Russell; the enfant terrible of British cinema.
? Drawn from his groundbreaking films of the 60s and 70s including the enormously popular Elgar - Portrait Of A Composer.
? Russell's work is uncompromising and controversial. He directed Tommy for The Who in characteristic bravura style, while the much-banned Devils upset the establishment - 50 years on, the director's cut is still considered too blasphemous for public consumption.
Inspired by Orson Welles, admired by Michael Powell, Ken Russell set British cinema aflame in the 1960s and 70s with his superbly crafted, often highly controversial dramatised documentaries on the lives of classical music composers.
Gravitating to film via the excellent British Monitor and Omnibus art television programmes, his subjects included Elgar, Debussy and Delius, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and Liszt. Russell pulled no punches in putting their indulgences and personal demons up on the screen beside their genius. Until then, the immortals had been sacrosanct. Ken's filmmaking was uncompromising, passionate and instinctive, revealing a gift for pairing music with images; resulting in such indelible scenes as the nude male wrestlers in Women In Love. Ken Russell's audacity was much admired. For some, he was regarded as nothing less than the saviour of British cinema, while others saw him as an outlandish "reckless eclectic", out to shock. His incendiary tour-de-force, The Devils, sharply divided audiences but is regarded by his disciples to be one of the top ten films of all time.
This edition comprises music from Elgar - Portrait of A Composer (voted by readers of The Sunday Times as the 'Most Memorable Television Programme Ever Made'), The Debussy Film, Delius: Song of Summer, The Music Lovers (Tchaikovsky) and Mahler, alongside Dante's Inferno (Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood), Savage Messiah (Scott Antony's effervescent debut as the sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska) and Russell's breakthrough film, D.H. Lawrence's Women In Love (for which Glenda Jackson won an Oscar for Best Actress).

? 英国映画界の"気鋭の監督"ケン・ラッセル監督の映画音楽アンソロジー。
トラックリスト? 絶大な人気を博した『ケン・ラッセル／エルガー～ある作曲家の肖像～』をはじめ、60年代から70年代にかけての彼の画期的な作品群から選りすぐった楽曲を収録。
? ラッセルの作品は妥協を許さず、物議を醸すものである。彼はザ・フーの『トミー』を、彼特有の華麗なスタイルで監督し、一方、度重なる上映禁止処分を受けた『肉体の悪魔』は体制を揺るがした。50年が経った今も、ディレクターズ・カット版は一般公開するにはあまりにも冒涜的であると見なされている。
オーソン・ウェルズに感化され、マイケル・パウエルに称賛されたケン・ラッセルは、1960年代から70年代にかけて、クラシック音楽の作曲家たちの生涯を描いた、見事な技巧を凝らした、しばしば極めて物議を醸すドラマ化ドキュメンタリー作品で、英国映画界に旋風を巻き起こした。
優れた英国の芸術番組を通じて映画の世界に引き込まれた彼は、エルガー、ドビュッシー、デリアス、シュトラウス、チャイコフスキー、マーラー、リストなどを題材とした。ラッセルは、彼らの天才性とともに、その放蕩ぶりや内なる悪魔までもを、遠慮なくスクリーンに映し出した。それまで、不朽の巨匠たちは神聖不可侵の存在だった。ケンの映画作りは妥協を知らず、情熱的で直感的であり、音楽と映像を結びつける才能を遺憾なく発揮した。その結果、『恋する女たち』に登場する裸の男性レスラーたちのような、脳裏に焼き付くようなシーンが生まれた。ケン・ラッセルの大胆不敵さは広く称賛された。ある者にとっては、彼はまさに英国映画の救世主と見なされていたが、一方で、彼をただ衝撃を与えようとする風変わりな「無謀な折衷主義者」とみなす者もいた。
彼の扇動的な傑作『肉体の悪魔』は観客を二分したが、彼の信奉者たちからは史上最高の映画トップ10の一つと見なされている。
本編には、エルガー『ケン・ラッセル／エルガー～ある作曲家の肖像～』（『サンデー・タイムズ』読者が「史上最も記憶に残るテレビ番組」に選出した）、『Debussy Film』、デリアス『ケン・ラッセル／ソング・オブ・サマー』、チャイコフスキー『恋人たちの曲／悲愴』、『マーラー』の音楽に加え、『Dante's Inferno』（ダンテ・ガブリエル・ロセッティとラファエル前派）、 『狂えるメサイア』（彫刻家アンリ・ゴーディエ＝ブジェスカ役でスコット・アントニーが鮮烈なデビューを飾った作品）、そしてラッセル監督の転機となった作品、D.H.ローレンスの『恋する女たち』（グレンダ・ジャクソンがアカデミー主演女優賞を受賞した作品）の音楽を収録している。
