Rollerball (Full Frame, Widescreen)
The year is 2018. There are no wars. There is no crime. There is only...the Game. In a world where ruthless corporations reign supreme, this vicious and barbaric "sport" is the only outlet for the pent-up anger and frustrations of the masses. Tuned to their televisions, the people watch "Rollerball": a brutal mutation of football, motocross and hockey. Jonathan E. (James Caan, "Misery") is the champion player - a man too talented for his own good. The Corporation has taken away the woman Jonathan loves (Maud Adams, "Octopussy") but they can't take away his soul - even if diabolical corporate head (John Houseman, "The Paper Chase") tells him he'd better retire...or suffer the old-fashioned way. With its surrealistic imagery and tense action sequences, "Rollerball" grips you by the heart - and never lets you go!

Debussy's Iberia by Matthew Brown, ISBN 0198161999
This book suggests ways in which Debussy's sketches and drafts may be used to explain how he composed one of his last great symphonic scores: Iberia (from mages for orchestra, 1903-10). Part 1 shows how we might understand the process of musical composition as a form of expert problem solving; Part 2 reconstructs the genesis of each of the three movements in turn.

Symphony No. 5 Reformation in Full Score by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, ISBN 0486278751
In this work, a staple of the orchestral repertoire, the composer sought to convey the idea of the Reformation in symphonic terms. The resulting masterpiece magnificently captures both the joy and the suffering implicit in the subject, building to a powerful finale including variations on Luther's confessional chorale Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott. The symphony is reprinted here from the authoritative Breitkopf & Hartel edition.
