The Great Rehearsals Collection
Between 1965-68, the composer Luc Ferrari collaborated with director Gérard Patris on a series of filmed intimate portraits of great musicians, 'Les Grandes Répétitions' (The Great Rehearsals). Created for the ORTF, and encouraged by its director Pierre Schaeffer, these remarkable films were shown on French TV. They are remarkable not only for their exceptional content, but also for the creative camera work, including dynamic hand-held shots and croppings, and the juxtaposition of music and talk. Olivier Messiaen: Et Expecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum; Karlheinz Stockhausen: Momente; Edgar Varèse: Hommage À Edgar Varèse; Hermann Scherchen: Quand Un Homme Consacre Sa Vie À La Musique; Cecil Taylor: Cecil Taylor À Paris.
