Synopsis :
These astonishing documentaries, by groundbreaking director Ken Russell (Valentino, The Devils), were originally broadcast in the BBC TV arts documentary strands Monitor and Omnibus.
Elgar (1962), Russell's tribute to the music he loved, is remarkable for its sensitive portrayal of the rise of a young musician from an underprivileged background to international fame.
The Debussy Film (1965), co-written by Melvyn Bragg, is a truly experimental work that culminates in a sublimely ethereal finale.
Perhaps the finest of Russell's 1960s biographical BBC productions, Song of Summer (1968) is an immensely moving story of sacrifice, idealism and musical genius which charts the final five years in the life of Frederick Delius.
