She will find you, she will charm you and then she will most certainly harm you. It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter where you are. It doesn't even matter if you know she's coming. Because in the end, strong or wise, rich or hardened, friend or foe, Madlax will have you eating bullets out of the palm of her hand. Margaret Burton - An orphaned schoolgirl with issues. Haunted by bizarre and cloudy dreams, she must not only endure the horrifying images of her past, but she must also traverse the treacherous path of high school.

Most recently, she has uncovered reasons to believe that her own place of employment, Bookwald Industries, is meddling in some adverse affairs.

It is the will of mankind acting without question. It is what we are. It is the truth. The Truth - Enfant has manipulated it. Madlax and Margaret Burton have been obsessed with searching for it. Carrossea Doon and Vanessa Rene have died trying to find it. Quanzitta and Nakhl are sworn to protect it. And Friday Monday has big plans for it. The truth is a dangerous thing.

Mahler, Gustav - Attrazione D'Amore/ Berio, Luciano - Voyage To Cythera
Film 1 - Attrazione d'Amore is a touching illustration of the unique relation that has developed between the Conductor Riccardo Chailly and his famous Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Juxtaposing rehearsals and performances of works by Mahler, Mozart, Debussy, Stravinsky and Varese as well as Puccini's Tosca, Frank Scheffer paints a fascinating portrait of mutual love between a Conductor and an orchestra based on the magical attraction of music. The film also features interviews of Donald Mitchell, Luciano Berio and Riccardo Chailly himself. Film 2 - Voyage to Cythera. In 1968 Luciano Berio, composer and pioneer of electroacoustic music, created Sinfonia, a memorable orchestral piece and harmonic journey through references to composers such as Stravinsky, Boulez, Schonberg, Stockhausen and most of all, Mahler. Just as Sinfonia uses the image of a river to connect its various elements, Voyage to Cythera navigates through wonderful musical quotes made of performances conducted by Berio, rehearsals, archival documents and interviews featuring Riccardo Chailly and Louis Andriessen.
Mahler, Gustav - Conducting Mahler/ I Have Lost Touch With The World
Film 1 - Conducting Mahler from acclaimed director Frank Scheffer documents the interpretations of Gustav Mahler's compositions by conductors Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Chailly, Riccardo Muti, Claudio Abbado and Simon Rattle, who detail the special relationship they have with Mahler's work. The film includes rehearsals and performances by the Amsterdan Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Wiener Philharmoniker at the Mahler Festival in May 1995. Film 2 - Mahler - I have lost touch with the World is based on Mahler's 9th Symphony. In the four parts of this film, renowned conductor Riccardo Chailly and Mahler's internationally acclaimed biographer Henry-Louis de la Grange analyse the four movements of this masterful musical piece. Reaching into the heart of Mahler's music, the film marks Riccardo Chailly's celebration of his departure from Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in June 2004, after sixteen years of close collaboration.
?What a world this is that brings forth such sounds and shapes as its reflected likeness!? Gustav Mahler. Vision Mahler, the abstract visualization of Gustav Mahler?s Symphony No. 2 in C minor (the ?Resurrection? Symphony), premi?red on January 1, 2006 in Cologne at a gala concert staged to celebrate the 50th anniversary of WDR, a western German public broadcasting company. The work was performed under the direction of Semyon Bychkov before a live audience in Cologne?s Philharmonic Hall and simulcast on TV. Special projections allow eighteen 3D objects to mirror the emotions and feelings conjured up by this powerful music. The thematic junctures and stages of the Symphony ? suffering, romanticism, irony, love, doubt and hope?are correlated to the transformation of these virtual objects. In the first movement, for example, objects assemble, form structures and then break down in the second movement they dance, radiate and shine the third movement infuses the forms with irony and distorts them love is aglow with light in the fourth movement, and is succeeded in the fifth by tremors and destruction. Not until the finale does redemption make its appearance ? everything shimmers, sails and floats away. Preset camera paths along with special glasses help give the television audience the illusion of a spatial expansion of the TV image. Thus, a visualization of Mahler?s 2nd Symphony from several different angles is made available to the TV viewing audience.

Maid Marian And Her Merry Men - Complete Series 2
Who steals from the rich to give to the poor? Who is the last bastion of truth, freedom and goodness for the peasants of Worksop? Who really gets up the Sheriff of Nottingham's big nose? ...Robin of Sherwood? No, he'd rather hide under trees to avoid any bruising to his perfect face or creasing of his lovely, non-catalogue, green outfit. Contrary to popular belief, it was Marian - strong, brave, blonde and bossy - who led the merry men. That would be the merry, lethargic, witless and everso slightly incompetent men! In the continuing saga of Tony (Baldrick) Robinson's most excellent Maid Marian series, we find the forest dwelling troupe getting into more scrapes and blunders to do good for the people of Worksop. Backed up by 'thick-as-a-brick' Rabies, aptly named Little Ron, and Rastafarian Barrington, (oh, and Robin), Marian tackles the might of Evil King John and the mischief of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Set in open woodland, events take surreal twists. The plots unravel though witty songs and film parodies, with sarcastic repartee and contemporary references, and are usually resolved in time for tea and for a big load of credit to plop smugly at Robin's feet! This perfectly conceived historical farce is witty, warm and stylish. It is one of those rare programmes made for and enjoyed by both children and adults and has secured a huge fan-base in the seventeen years since it was first transmitted.
