Jessye Norman was born in Augusta, Georgia and grew up at a time when America was torn with racial strife. Today, she is at the peak of her career. Jessye Norman's insights into her cultural roots and evolution as a singer make this a moving commentary on an extraordinary career. After studying music at Howard University, her career progressed rapidly. She has a vast classical repertoire, but has always sought to extend her vocal capacity, attempting some of the most technically demanding music of the 20th century. One of today's most popular classical singers, she guarantees full houses wherever she performs. The full range and diversity of Jessye Norman's singing is featured here, from the London Opera Stage to recitals with the Dance Theater of Harlem. High School College Adult

The best way to get through the streets of the metropolis of Mexico City is with one of the famous green Volkswagen Beetle Taxis. In this city of 18 million people, Tenor Rolando Villazón was born. With a look somewhere between latin lover and Mr. Bean, he has sung himself into the hearts of opera fans. Before Rolando Villazón ever thought about the stage, he went to school like any other boy. After over twenty years, he returned to the German school in Mexico City. This visit brings back a flood of memories, not only for him. His former homeroom teacher remembers very well the brash little Rolandito, who was always up to something. Somehow it’s strange, comments Rolando Villazón, as he stands between the little boys in the school yard, I was one of them and now I notice that the little boy from back then is still there. Along with the trip into the past, the film recounts special moments in the new life of the Tenor: praised performances in Liceo Barcelona, the intense rehearsals with Anna Netrebko for La Traviata in Salzburg and his wonderful suffering Don Jose in the Berliner Staatsoper Unter den Linden. He is very grateful to that opera house and especially Daniel Barenboim who is something like a fatherly friend to the young singer. Another fatherly friend, Plácido Domingo, takes the tenor in his arms after the curtain closes on the stage in Berlin. They have many things in common.

This fascinating documentary on the life and music of Johann Sebastian Bach also explores the social, political and aesthetic forces in Germany during his time (1685-1750). Performances by soloists and ensembles, as well as commentary by distinguished Bach scholars, enliven the film. Violinist James Buswell, long identified with Bach's music, acts as both host and performer.
The story of Bach's life is told by visiting each German city where the composer lived, studied or worked, from Eisenach where he was born, to Leipzig where he died at the age of sixty five. Each location represents a turning point in his growth and musical development. As the documentary unfolds we are treated to several fine performances, including one by the boys choir of the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Supporting Mr. Buswell's interpretation are discussions by such well-known experts as Christian Wolff, Hans-Joachim Schulze of the Bach Archive in Leipzig, Paula Sutter Fichtner, a historian at City University of New York, and Blanche Honneger Moyse of the New England Bach Festival.

They live two lives. They work to survive, but music is their passion. At night they perform in sold out concert halls, and clean toilets the morning after. They tickle the ivories and sort out the trash in close succession. They interpret Beethoven just before repairing exhaust pipes. They are survival artists. A musician is asked: “Can you make a living?” The reply: “Some can, others cannot.” This story is about the others: Professional musicians who practise their art with great passion and skill, but still have to work on the side. Either just to make ends meet or to maintain a certain quality of life: As a garbage collector, an auto mechanic or doctor.
