“If you were coming of age in the 1980s, the brat pack was at or near the centre of your cultural awareness,” says Andrew McCarthy as he walks the streets of New York City. “But for those of us experiencing it from the inside, the brat pack was something very different.”

This film, written and directed by McCarthy explores the actors iconic movies of the 1980s which shaped a generation, and how the Brat Pack label took a hold in popular culture and in the life and career paths of these young stars.

McCarthy reunites with Lowe, Esteves, Moore, Ally Sheedy, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson and Timothy Hutton. He talks for the first time to David Blum, the writer who coined the term Brat Pack in a cover story for New York Magazine.

A performance celebrating the music of Astor Piazzolla

The ‘Cabaret Kings’ (The Londonist) singer William Ludwig and pianist Dean Austin join forces with the talents of violinist Beatrix Lovejoy and ‘cellist Ben Chappell. They have created an evening of some of his most loved and theatrical songs, combined with his most celebrated instrumental pieces such as his Four Season.

Piazzolla’s tango is the music of the cities, their poetry and chaos, their solitude and excitement. Piazzolla was the figurehead of nuevo tango, new tango, he ripped tango out of the dance halls of Argentina to place it in the concert halls of the world. Music not to dance to, but to inspire, make us dream and take us to faraway places full of longing and passion.

Riding on the recent success of his “Escales” and Korngold albums for Chandos, John Wilson and the City of London Sinfonia turn their attention to the ‘Roman Trilogy’ by Ottorino Respighi. These works have similar mountains and valleys of emotion, so it takes a conductor with insight to stop the three Tone Poems from sounding homogeneous and repetitive on a single album.

Bach Recomposed

 “if you turn around and see [Bach’s composition] from a different angle – shine the light on it in a different way – you get different textures; new shadows, new shapes appear; new pathways through the melodies and harmonies. The result is more like a suite of fantasias on a theme (of the original compositions), but still recognisably the same material.”
