Reviews

Harvest of Sorrow

By Chadwick Jenkins

Tony Palmer’s wonderfully constructed film captures the mood of “lateness” that pervaded the career of Sergei Rachmaninoff. [27 September 2007]

England, My England

By Chadwick Jenkins

As a biopic, it simply fails, but as a means of contemplating aspects of English history and the enigma of Purcell, this film has some intriguing moments intertwined with some glorious performances of the music of Purcell. [19 September 2007]

All My Loving

By Stuart Henderson

Tony Palmer's 1968 made-for-BBC "masterpiece" looks decidedly more suspect today. [18 September 2007]
