other title: 夏日之歌：弗雷德里克·戴留斯 / Song of Summer
Based on Eric Fenby's 1936 memoir 'Delius as I knew him', it traces the last years of Frederick Delius, and Fenby's dedication in giving up five years of his life to helping the blind, paralysed composer set down the unfinished scores he could hear in his head. Perhaps the finest of the series of biographical films that Ken Russell made for the BBC in the Sixties, Song of Summer is an immensely moving story of sacrifice, idealism and musical genius.

Ken Russell movie about jealousy, and the complex and painful relationship between Rossetti and his sickly wife, Elizabeth. They are members of the upper-crust layer of society, bourgeois painters, poets and philosophers.

She believes he has impregnated another woman (a model), commits suicide, and, as he chooses to bury his best poems with her coffin, he is driven insane when confronted with the idea of exhuming her coffin and retrieving the book to sell to his fans. Written by Jonathan Dakss.

Late on Guy Fawkes Day, 1892, Oscar Wilde arrives at a high-class brothel where a surprise awaits: a staging of his play "Salome," with parts played by prostitutes, Wilde's host, his lover Bosey, and Lady Alice. The movie moves between the play and Wilde's night. In the play, Herod begs his pubescent step-daughter Salome to dance for him, promising her anything she desires. Her mother, Herodias, objects. Salome is stung by John the Baptist's rejection of her affections. The prophet's scolding celibacy puts him between the expressed desire of age and youth. Wilde dallies with a young man as he watches the show, provoking Bosey's jealousy. Two surprises await us.

other title: Monitor: Elgar
1963年，肯·拉塞尔(《恋爱中的女人》《马勒传》)执导音乐电视纪录片，荣获当年全英剧作家协会最佳纪录片剧本奖。导演以此片打破了BBC纪录片的惯有模式，首次尝试了在非虚构类影片中采用演员表演的方式。前提是这些演员仅仅是模特，而不能出声。此片预示了肯·拉塞尔之后一系列音乐家纪录片的风格脉络。导演在02年重新翻拍了埃尔加纪录片《Fantasy of a Composer on a Bicycle》，足见他对此题材的钟爱。
BBC出品.记录英国最著名作曲家爱德华·威廉(Elgar, Edward William 1857-1934)生平。父为伍斯特的音乐书商及管风琴师。埃尔加未受正规音乐教育,但学习过管风琴、小提琴和大管.他有志成为专业小提琴独奏家,在伦敦从阿道夫·波利策上过几次课,但后来放弃了这一想法。他作为浪漫派作曲家终身不渝,虽然成熟时期茂盛的风华凝聚为老年人的深思和怀旧。他喜爱色彩变化,对乐队的驾双在当时无出其右.作品的充沛感情驳斥了某些人认为英国音乐应当稳重、含蓄的看法。但对更多的人来说,他那丰富的人道主义精神犹如新的觉醒.他所创造的风格和音乐语言极为个性化,赢得了"埃尔加式"的美称。
