2006, Mozart year. The Mozart trademark is now worth no less than 5 billion Euro, not to mention the music, which is so worth listening to. We at MTV (Mozart TV) decided to be part of this celebration. So we created a quiz in a true "WWBM " style and entitled it "Who Wants to be a Mozart". The host of the programme is Mr Antonio Salieri, who is the master of ceremonies to ten competitors: Lizst, Rossini, Beethoven, Tschaikovsky, Bach, Schubert, Mussorgsky, Falco and Mozart himself, who wishes to gain one million Euro like the rest of the competitors and claim back at least a tiny slice of the cake, which countless others have earned by exploiting his name and music.

Don McGlynn's uncompromising and soulful documentary look at the tumultuous life of musician and rebel Charles Mingus is fascinating stuff. Mingus said of himself "I am half black man, half yellow man, but I claim to be a Negro. I am Charles Mingus, the famed jazz musician--but not famed enough to make a living in America." His statement summed up the conflict that plagued this musical genius his entire life: volatility, pain, prescience, and raw rage roiled inside a complex man, composer, bass player, and trombonist who transcended labels and refused to be pigeonholed into a single musical style--and who did not achieve real fame until late in his career.

Presented in 2 parts, this 83 minute piece documents Wieder-Atherton's idea to do a set of pieces from across central and eastern Europe, including Russia. Some weren't originally written for cello, but she had them transcribed. Some were songs for voices, which goes with Wieder-Atherton saying in an earlier film she made with Chantal Akerman that she aspires to play the cello in a way that it carries the specificity of emotion of the human voice. She explains at the beginning of both parts how she feels each country in the region has it's own personality expressed in its music, coming from its individual history and culture, but that each land in the area is also 'impregnated' as she puts it, by the others, so there are certain elements that run throughout.
