Jack and his band try to earn a living by playing at weddings and the odd tea party, usually resulting in mixed emotions and hilarious scenes.

The historical drama Antonio Vivaldi tells the story of one of the most brilliant composers in history, whose fate was not easy, and the music is inexpressibly beautiful. The wonderful musical creation of the joint American-Belgian production will be a real pleasure for the musical gourmet.
Beginning
The film “Antonio Vivaldi” tells about the youth of the famous violinist, which he spent in the romantic and mysterious Venice. The hero of this story was born in the “city of rivers” – Venice, the music was in his blood even before he was born, since his father Giovania was also a violinist, and it was he who later gave his son his first lessons. Vivaldi’s father served in the church, which largely determined the future church career of the boy. He receives a sacred rank and begins service, but for frequent absenteeism, the musician is excommunicated.
A young man moves to a new place of work - he becomes a music teacher in an unusual educational institution - there are girls who were illegally born by Venetian courtesans. What will Antonio choose next? Will he give up his main passion, music?
The film was produced
Director Boris Damast shot the film “Antonio Vivaldi” in 2013 from the script, which he created together with Jeffrey Friedman. Damast gathered in the film a wonderful cast: Alfred Molina, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sebastian Koch, Claire Foy. The film crew managed to interestingly show the fate of the musician, unfolding against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes of Venice. close

Lara Fabian is not just a name, it is a sign of quality. En toute intimite is a live album consisting of her best songs and songs by other famous artists. This album became a real bestseller, but I would not recommend it to new fans of Lara, because it seems to me, in the comprehension of the work of Lara Fabian, this album should be listened to last, as the best, the hardest to perceive, the most indicative of all the highest in the work of the greatest singer to date - the magical Lara Fabian, whose talent conquers and captures without a trace, whose songs help to stay alive, whose divine voice makes the most killed person love this life again! close

Finland's most daring musician, the accordionist, composer, performer Kimmo Pohjonen, revolutionizes the accordion and shatters traditional musical standards. Extraordinary sounds explode from his custom built accordion and its bellows including electronic effects, accordion samples, voice, farm machines, animals and string quartet. Pohjonen bridges the gap between experimental, rock, folk and classic genres in fact creating an entirely new accordion music world. His performances are reminiscent of the violence of Roman gladiators and the castigation of medieval monks. The film is a journey of an exceptional artist grounded in basic human truths. The Cinematography and drama reveal a distinctive Scandinavian viewpoint. From the startling opening - the hero walks across an expanse of ice and drops through a hole into frigid water - right to the very end; a dramatic pace draws the viewer in, revealing the inner struggle of this iconoclast. close
